    Lyrics
    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.
    Oh look at me
    A lonely man in a busy world
    I try to get ahead
    But too many times
    I just yearn for the girl
    Whoever she may be
    Look at me
    Again and again and
    Again I see
    How full my life could be
    With love
    Of my special angels, (yeah)
    Will i ever find a love?
    Will i ever find the girl?
    Alone
    Without her help
    I'd either slip and fall
    Or play the fool
    Not knowing what to do
    All I need
    Is someone to want me
    To want my love
    As well as give her love
    To me
    Snuggling close together
    Will I ever find a love? (hey)
    Will i ever find a girl?
    Am I gon' find a love? (hey)
    Another day has passed me by
    So comes the night
    No one to hold me tight
    Comes six o-clock
    The alarm rings
    A new day begins
    Like yesterday
    Or any other day
    Oh please
    Let this be the day
    Will I ever find a love? (aah)
    Will I ever find that girl?
    You see I've been lookin' everywhere
    And I got to find somebody
    I need somebody
    Who gon' understand (aah)
    I got to find a love
    I got to find a girl
    Will I ever find love?

    We first saw TOP in Cleveland Ohio at the Agora when they just released East Bay grease. No one knew them, there were maybe 20 people in the audience. The next time they came back to Cleveland you couldn't get into the club. One of the greatest groups of all time and should be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They are real musicians and have "Soul with a capital S."

    One of my favorite horn bands from the 70s along with EW&F, Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Parliament etc. Shoutout to my uncle for introducing me to these awesome bands when I was young ...

    Nice Dave Grohl reference. That's actually tenor sax player Emilio Castillo, who has been the leader of Tower of Power for more than 50 years and still going strong.

    Give a listen to their incredibly funky "What Is Hip", and their other great ballad, "You're Still A Young Man". The greatest horn band to come out of the Bay area.

    People didnt stop dancing because that was the quality of music back then. We took it for granted. It was a time of high quality music in every musical genre. Music today is basically prepacked junk, Unless you talking about classical or jazz. Those genres have real musicians, pros.

    From Oakland, California. Tower of Power. The best horn band of the seventies. Not a bad tune from these guys.. That's Lenny Williams on lead vocals here.

    Lenny Williams was the best lead singer TOP ever had. Kudos to Jay Spell the blind pianist who sit in on this song.. RIP Jay. Shout to Greg Adams for the nice jazz flugelhorn solo.

    That's Lenny Williams he as their premier lead singer for years. He wound up in San Quentin for Murder. I know My brother was a prison Sgt there for many years. And had Lenny on his tier/level
    for years as well as Buddy Miles, and Charles Manson.
    We've been Tower Of Power,
    TOP fans for years six concerts so far. Like your

    aka "Mad Dad" Yeah been a TOP fan for their entire 50+ years and
    Lenny Williams remains one of my favorite lead vocalists for the band.
    The distinctive sound of Tower of Power always comes through strong!

    There's about 40 YEARS between that "Soul Train" performance (which was a dub from the studio version of the songs) and the "What is Hip?" Live performance. The short trumpet player was Mic Gillete, the same guy who was switching between trumpet and trombone in "WiH". The white sax player ("Dave Grohl") is actually the founder of the band, Emilio Castillo. The. The bari sax player to his right is the "Funky Doctor," Stephen Kupka. Rocco Prestia on bass, and David Garibaldi on drums... All of these guys were also in the "What is Hip" live video. Today Mic and Rocco have passed away, but David, Mimi, and The Doc still perform with the full band, and are just as funky today as they were 55 years ago.

    Chase. Get It On. I really think you should. It's nothing like this, but it's as good in its own unique direction as this is in its own direction. The band name is Chase. The song is Get It On. I think you'll kinda love it.

    Because I I loved "You're Still A Young Man" and "Sparkling In The Sand" by the original singer (RIP) Rick Stevens, I now realize I like Lenny Williams better. Perhaps because he became TOP and the bad timing involved in Rick Stevens part. Yes! He can make you calm the way he makes it look so interesting. Especially the other part of this Soul Train segment singing "This Time Its Real" very calm making with his stage presence.

    2:05. "A lotta horns right there." Dude, there were ZERO horns at that point. You're such a dope. I don't think you'd know a piano from a horse. BTW, your backward baseball cap tells us all we need to know. Neither of you have the musical sensibility to appreciate something like this.
