    This song was a standard play in clubs across the country when it hit the streets. I remember the guys and gals loving this masterpiece. Dance floors were always packed with Tower Of Power tunes.

    Few groups, if any had Horns that could match the Tower Of Power, Or Vocalist that could touch them. This group had it all. Thanks again. #271

      JM is learning fast how GREAT the music was in OUR youth. We were so lucky to hear these songs new and in many cases it blew our minds.@@alisonwinston2547

  • @AliasMark69
    @AliasMark69 Před 9 měsíci +11

    The Tower has had some very talented lead singers, Rick Stevens, who served as lead singer in its early years, lending his vocals to the East Bay funk group's signature 1972 hit, “You're Still a Young Man,” ... Later on So Very Hard To Go with Lenny Williams performing the vocals. The song is the band's biggest hit to date in the United States, peaking at No. 17 on the Hot 100 on 28 July 1973 and No. 4 on KHJ radio in L.A. on 31 July 1973. You have them both in your playlist.... cool

    "So Very Hard To GO"
    Ain't nothin' I can say, nothin' I can do,
    I feel so bad, yeah, I feel so blue.
    I got to make it right for everyone concerned
    even if it's me, if it means it's me what's gettin' burned.
    'Cause I could never make you unhappy, no, I couldn't do that girl,
    only wish I didn't have to love you do, makes it so, so very hard to go.
    (backgrounds-So very hard to go)
    'Cause I love you so, (backgrounds answer-So very hard to go),
    ah, I love you do.
    I'd have to pay for my mistakes,
    I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl,
    even tho' my heart aches.
    Your dreams have all come true just the way you planned them,
    so I'll just step aside, I'm gon step aside and lend a helping hand then.
    'Cause I could never make you unhappy, no I couldn't do that girl,
    only wish I didn't love you so, makes it so, so very hard to go.
    (Backgrounds-So very hard to go)
    'Cause I love you so (backgrounds answer-so very hard to go)
    Oh, I love you so (backgrounds answer again-so very hard to go)
    And it ain't easy to walk away when a man love some body (so very hard to go) hey, hey, hey, hey.

      @curtisscarmon3267 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Chicago is a very good studio recording band. The horn players are all graduates from DePaul University School of Music. In a recording session they are able to go back and correct mistakes. I saw them in person and the trumpet player cracked notes and was terrible

  • @tommythompson9565
    @tommythompson9565 Před 9 měsíci +2

    With absolutely no disrespect to all of the great "Horn Bands" of the 70's, like Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, Brass Construction, Sun, The Ohio Players, The Brecker Brothers, etc. IMHO, Tower of Power (TOP) has the best "Horn Section" in the music business!!!

    Hey JM, you should try "Silky Soul" by the legendary group Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, the song is a tribute to the late great Marvin Gaye who put Frankie and his group on the game, he helped them to land a deal with Capitol Records. Silky Soul is the title track of the album released in 1989, wich includes the hit '"Can't Get Over You", both songs worth a listen. Cheers from Brazil!
