Program Notes
Tower of Power, the legends of soul music, have been "funkifying" fans across the world for more than forty years. Known for driving grooves, a soaring horn section, soulful vocals, and inarguably an extremely tight rhythm section, it is no surprise that the band continues to find success and remains on the touring circuit, and many of their songs have become worldwide standards.
Here's a fresh rendition of the band's greatest hits, including What Is Hip?, You're Still a Young Man, and Down to the Nightclub.
