Growing up in the 70's, I listened to a lot of AM Top 40 radio and So Very Hard to Go was one of my favorite songs. The music and vocals were fantastic! It reminded me of how great the songs were back then. Thank you, Enoma, for your wonderful reaction!
Love Tower of Power!✊ One of my favourite groups! "You're still a Young Man"! Back in the day, them and WAR (another great group), they always toured together, to enthusiastic crowds!👍😎
The song Magic Carpet Ride was released in 1969 at that time John Kay the lead singer of Steppenwolf was only 25 years old. He was born in Germany and he and his Mother escaped from East Germany right after World War II and eventually migrated to Canada. His father was killed in the war.
A great band originated in san fransisco had a 5 piece horn section which would go on to tour and support other bands when possible. I have been a tower of power fan since i was in my teens this great horn section motivated me to learn to play saxophone i went on to play alto tenor and baritone saxophones in local bands. One of the all time great soul bands with one of the best horn sections of all time
Tower of Power was a 1970's band. My Youth . The band wasn't for everyone, It was more of a cultural thing back then. They had some good songs. Try; All Day Music by them. That is music to take a long drive to. Your Still A Young Man is another good one. Grateful for the journey back to my teenage years. Those were fun. I'm old now, can't remember the other ones. Lol. Did see them in concert a couple of times.
The diner who sang " Your Still A Young to Man" ended up getting charged with murder and did around 20 years in jail. Maybe got out about 5 years ago or more .Changed his life around appeared with the band a couple of times and passed away recently. The band goes on to this day.Thanks for the music and honesty
I've seen them in concert a couple of times great band,great music,high energy shows. They've been around a long time and still do concerts......hope you enjoyed....peace
Lenny williams lead singer sang on 3 tower of power albums back to oakland urban renewal and the gold tower of power also performed with sly stone and graham central station was only with tower of power i believe 2 years
Grew up listening to him, cool record isn't it.. beautiful voice. Lenny Williams. Yes it does sound like Earth Wind and Fire. You should check out his other song .

Haven't heard "So very hard to go" in years...Thanks so much. They should have made it even bigger than they did.
Try "What is hip?" and "You're still a young man" both by Tower of Power.
Love the channel.

@@MrVato53 It probably was, those 2 groups always confused me. They were similar. Thanks for setting it straight.
70s soul was the best
Amen. Today’s music can not compare!!!!
And so was/is Funk... which is the genre most associated with ToP !!
Takes me back to hanging in Eastside San Jose 1973 dancing with the girls and playing ball... magical...
Classic soul jam from 1973. Remember it well. I took it for granted at the time; but it's amazing how much great music came out of the 1960s and 70s.
So I Got To Groove,Come On With It,You’re So Wonderful,just a few of the great tunes from Tower Of Power.
Their horn section one of the best then and now..... Tower of Power Horns
John Kay is the lead singer. He is a German-born Canadian.
Mr Lenny Williams! What a gift from God. Will always be my morning music
Thanks Enoma for your honest reactions.
Now, THAT is MUSIC!
Lenny Williams had them pipes, he was the lead singer for Tower of Power
@@MrVato53 but Lenny sung this tho
@@MrVato53 yeah most of that album Lenny wasn't present

Magic Carpet Ride has a very cool beat. Simple lyrics but great sound
From Oakland, California...One of the great bands of the 1970's. This song is from 1973...That is Lenny Williams on vocals here...
Great song I still get emotional when I hear this song 😭😭
Lenny williams lead singer sang on 3 tower of power albums back to oakland urban renewal and the gold tower of power also performed with sly stone and graham central station was only with tower of power i believe 2 years
That is the great Lenny Williams on lead who was recently added to the group during the making of this album
Try the tune, The Pusher by Steppenwolf. It was written by Hoyt Axton, who also wrote Joy To The World which was made famous by Three Dog Night.
Beautiful reaction!❤️
Love me some Tower of Power
