Yes Sir you are exactly right, this song is as good as it gets with Rick Stevens singing the lead and the horns.....I sure miss music from the 70's....RIP Rick Stevens.
A great group, one of the best horn sections of all time, and one of the great disciples of James Brown. Try their "So Very Hard To Go" for another great ballad, and try them doing "What Is Hip" for their real funky side where the horns really get to shine.
Tower of power is still touring. Excellent brass band. I just attended their concert in San Bernardino, California. , the band has been touring for over 50 years straight out of Oakland, California .
They have one of the best Brass sections in the music industry, one of the hottest groups of the 70’s , fire songs with Lenny Williams singing lead, before he went solo, you can’t go wrong reacting to this band…..
This is a TOP standard a song they have been doing live since 1972. The story behind it is band leader/founder was in love with a girl a few years older than him and when she broke up she said those exact words "you're still a young man baby don't waste your time"!
Great reaction! It ended like it started. I totally agree with your breakdown an the meaning of the song. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
You didn't know that was coming huh Tower of power came out in the ' '70s 'me and Tony was together when this song came out she passed away in the '70s I miss her
Great group from the early 70’s. Try listening to “So Very Hard To Go” and the upbeat “What Is Hip”. If you like this, then you should hear another group from that same period called Blood, Sweat, and Tears. If you react to them , suggest “I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know”. I think you’ll get a kick out of their soul and productions.
Glad you appreciated this great song so much! I was a young teenager when it first came out, and I loved it then, and so it warms my heart to see a young guy like you in 2023 reacting to it the way you did. Cheers!
See Jack..your reaction to this this is what music back then did to people. Imagine this type of music on the radio on the radio day in day out. All to change the station to a different genre to be marvelously affected again.
Omg, this legendary band! I was with them on a Smooth Jazz cruise when they were a special guest on the lineup, man they were fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! One of my favorite of them i love is “Boys of the Bay”, very Funky, because they are a Soul, Funky band!! Please make sure to view the actual video with some former band members being the lead. They are mostly all horns and I believe consist of 10 members. This year they are celebrating 55 years and touring world wide. They will be on the line up of the Soul cruise, leaving from your area Florida, next Jan 27, 24 for a week. You would be the first one to view this track, have recommended this to numerous UA-camrs, you will see how they would follow. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏please you would be happy you did!!
I am 66 years old, and I think this band is near as old as me. I had one of their albums back when I was 19. Favorite song on that album was, don't change horses, in the middle of the stream. ua-cam.com/video/3Ku_Inb_5Wc/v-deo.htmlsi=NxfQ_lE_U3kaGlOB
Do you have a favorite song/video? Send it to me here and I'll react to it! 🎵: streamlabs.com/jackreacts904/tip
Proud of you young man for choosing some classic soul and R&B. They don't make music like this anymore!
Yes Sir you are exactly right, this song is as good as it gets with Rick Stevens singing the lead and the horns.....I sure miss music from the 70's....RIP Rick Stevens.
@@vickiecanupp7815 Emilio and the horns! What a sound!
@@cleathead You are so right....
My favorite band for the last 52 Yrs. ❤❤❤❤❤RIP Rick Stevens and Rocco Prestia

Oh wow! That absolutely speaks to their longevity🙏

David Garibaldi was the drummer, also Francis Rocco Prestia on bass, incredible rhythm section
Amazingly Great Song. Love this group
This is a great song! Going on my playlist thank you 🤗

Best horn section ever. I used to hang out with them back in the day. They are a Bay Area group from Oakland, CA.
Great group from the early 70’s. Try listening to “So Very Hard To Go” and the upbeat “What Is Hip”.

Lead singer is Lenny Williams who sang Cause I Love you.
Not on this song. Rick Stevens (RIP) is the lead singer on this song. Lenny joined TOP later after Rick left the band for personal reasons.
@@lawball1727 I stand corrected. Thanks for the correction.
Props to you young man for appreciating some great 70's soul.

Saw them a couple years ago at a Detroit Casino. They hit it out of the park. Wonderful horns.
