These guys are totally AMAZING and you can't deny that they have the "STAYING POWER" for 45 years now and still touring around the world year-round! I hear from Bass Player, Rocco Prestia that the young kids in Europe are into this groove right now! That's so AWESOME! These Cats are very down-to-Earth guys! I'm friends with all of them, most especially Rocco & Bruce Conte. ;-)

Tower of Power is not only a great soul band but I would say they are one greatest rock / pop bands of all of time. Their music is timeless and distinctive and they are from Oakland! The Bay Area was the U.S mecca of rock music in the 70's. The entire counterculture trend started in the Bay Area.
