      What is hip? Is probably the next one that alot of people would like to see, from that same album simply titled Tower of Power (a super album). But might want to check out a song called "Only so much oil in the ground" by them if you want a real horns workout! From the album Urban Renewal. The 70's were just too cool! Glad to grow up as a kid when this came out (1973). Good job!
