    I am so glad this your woman and other young people are getting this amazing group! Emillio Castillo manged to put together a group that could play and sing like no other. And they are still doing it 50 years later. They had a knack to select amazing lead singer and musicians when member left the band and the sound of Tower of Power was alway retained. I want multiple generations of music lovers to know this amazing Soul Band.

    I'm so dang old that I've been loving that song since it first came out. I'm glad you found it. I LOVED your reaction! It put a huge smile on my face when it "made you shy". Great song!

    Rick Stevens was the name of the singer. He had a rough going after this album. He got mixed up with drugs and actually ended up shooting someone and was in prison for murder. He was finally released a few years ago and actually reunited with Tower of Power for a few times. Unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago but he did so as a free man. My heart goes out to you and your country. I truly hope peace will reign.

    Stella GETS IT!!! That is the reaction this beautiful song deserves. Rick sang with my band for a while between ToP and his troubles. We played this song a hundred times.. There is no experience like playing this music and hearing that voice on stage with you. RIP Rick...

    I always enjoy your reactions but this one is special. Tower of Power was from the Bay Area (East Bay) and was huge in the late 60's & early 70's. Rick Stevens was one of the great soul singers of that period until he went to prison and the band never was the same after that. Great memories...thank you once again. "So Very Hard To Go" by this group is also a great song to react to.

    The band's leader and founder Emilio "Mimi" Castillo used to date this girl who was a few years older than him. Eventually she broke up with him and he was devestated she then said these words "you're still a young man baby don't waste your time".

    Probably better to critique after hearing song in it's entirety instead of stopping every 30 seconds. I like the youtube version of their 40th anniversary.T.O.Power

    Love Stella's reaction at 6:26-6:32 When Rick sings "Yes I've had some girls on the side. Just for you" Very heartfelt response to one of the best songs ever produced. Amazing talent and arrangement. Horns are off the hook!

    There were originally 2 lead singers on the their 1st album : East Bay Grease....Rick Stevens , who sung the smoother ballads, and Rufus Miller, who sung the more funkier , upbeat tunes.....

      Actually it's Rick Stevens on lead vocals on this one. Rick did record vocals on their third album, first with Lenny, but when he was sentenced to jail maybe Mimi (band leader) or the label didn't wanna be associated with Rick. When Lenny joined they re recorded the album with Lenny on lead vocals.
