I did 3 years with this man and let me say, he is the sweetest man you can ever meet. We plated this one the yard often. God bless that he made it out.
Looking and sounding great after 36 years in prison. Hard to believe he's 73 years old there. Glad to see him perform again. Great voice . RIP, brother.
To me, he is THE voice of TOP. Can't tell you how many times I listened to TOP in my youth. I grew up listening to these guys, Chicago (Transit Authority), War, The Doobie Brothers, and all the greats of that time. I'm 64 now, and oh, the memories I have from that time. I wouldn't trade anything for those memories.
God, thank You for allowing us the opportunity to hear this song with the original players #TOP…. clearly Mr. Stevens has repented… You kept his gift intact to grace us one last time, many many years later. RIP Rick Stevens
I fondly remember this song from my high school days. It was not long ago that I found out about Rick Stevens' time in the "big house". How sad, he doesn't look the type. RIP Rick, the good Lord is the ultimate judge.
I still remember this song during my high school and college days. It brings back the memories of the good old days. Tower of Power is one of my favourite band of the 70's aside from Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears, Ides of March, Commodores & Deodato. Now i am 68.

Damn. One of my MOST favorite tunes of ALL TIMES!! And their horn section?? Only the BEST in the business!! Tower of Power, baby!! Live on for eternity!!😉 👍
I'm out here in TH-cam land crying. Tower of Power was MY coming of age group. I loved Rick's voice and so happy to witness his short return. He's resting in Peace now. 😥
Undeniably one of the best singers out there in his time and after all these decades can come back to sing it like no else can. R.I.P. Rick Stevens...."Your still a young man"
The Greatest blues song and singer in the universe, sleep eternally in sweet slumber , may all your sins be forgivin and may you inherit the Kingdom of heaven on THE last day when and only when JESUS returns and raises those from their resting places into everlasting life . AMEN AMEN AMEN.
Hands down, Rick Stevens was the greatest voice of Tower of Power. Larry Braggs and Lenny Williams were also great. Rick has kept his voice youthful with great tone. He overcame his personal demons and persevered to once again become a vocal sensation.
You have that mixed up sir. Lenny was best. The others were good also. This song is iconic, but Rick Stevens is not the best Tower of Power vocalist. Hands down? Puhleeze!!
Sad News: former lead singer of the band Tower of Power - Rick Stevens passed away last week aftr Labor Day -September 6 2017 may he test in peace , true legend
And that's the truth. Emilio said so himself. Rick had delivery chops evident in all the tunes he sings. Not one dud on Bump City. He could croon and get funky.
I am so glad to see that Brother Rick gotta rise again... Last time I saw him sign this song was at Frenchies in Hayward right after Bump City album release.
Absolutely Beautiful, Rick Stevens, I am in Love with the horns in this song.I cannot get enough ..I will never ever, out grow this priceless song !💜💜💜 Thank you all for your Music....

Rick killed that thing! Dude still has his chops after all of these years! God bless you Rick! And thank you for posting this rare gem... Rick Stevens and Tower of Power forever, baby!
R.I.P. Rick Stevens you're now free and no more pain or suffering. You have went to be with the Lord in heaven. You left us way too early while you were still a young man. You will be greatly missed and our loss heaven's gain :-(
Omg Rick Stevens you are the best.God made it possible for this genius to return back to where he belongs in music I hope I can catch him in the bay area soon I love TOP dearly.They all made all this possible this song is forever in my heart .The brass section is the worlds best put it together with Mr.Rick Stevens and you can't loose.
Thank you Rick Stevens for teaching me to listen to lyrics. Summer I was 10 and she was 14, and would let me paint her toenails for her. I was losing my mind that summer!!! This song reminds me of her, and LOVE. A perfect song and a perfect voice.

God Bless his life.
Where what pen and is he gone I came across this by luck with all respect
@@angelchavez458 he was in mule creek state prison and lived in the gymnasium.
Looking and sounding great after 36 years in prison. Hard to believe he's 73 years old there. Glad to see him perform again. Great voice . RIP, brother.
Rest in Peace Rick Stevens. You are in no more pain. God's got you. In good hands.
Rest In Power Donald Richard "Rick" Stevens. I'm 35 and I still play this song every time when I'm driving.
I’m 58 and still play it also. What’s funny my older cousins played this when it came out and they where 15 years older then me.
Best music of my youth. Just turned 58 and still listening. Thanks for the best music ever. RIP Rick Stevens👼🏻
I just turned 58...Sept 2021...still listening!❤
60 something lol
21 and picked up a Tower of Power CD from my local record store, been on repeat in my car for a while now
Thank you my friend for the good times
He died?

I played with ol Rick Stevens many times back in San Quentin . He's still has that voice an I'm glad he's a free Man. Ric D Ireland Jr
36 years locked away. What a waste of time. Rest in peace Rick🙏
No other lead singer ever for Tower of Power just like the incomparable Hamish Stuart he was and always will be the sound of AWB forever and ever
I’m a 70s person and to see rick still kick ass in this video warms my heart. Rest In Peace brother
He's still gorgeous and still got it
So glad he was able to rejoin and sing with the group. It was his passion. R.I.P.
The sweetest horn section ever assembled... And then Rick Stevens doing his thing. BEAUTIFULL!
Dont forget the horny horns Parliament
Love the brass. They are so right on..

@@marcbillingsley359 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Each of us has his own taste.
@@marcbillingsley359 Lenny was by far the best!
I remember when these guys first hit the airwaves. I’m still as blown away by them today as I was then. RIP Rick❣️❣️❣️
Brings back memories growing up in the bay area, watching tower of power with my best friend. He’s passed away, and I miss him every day.

Tears in my eyes.
One of the saddest stories in Rock & Roll.
But one of the blessed.
Indeed.
@@robertdowler8105 , indeed it is. Thanks for reminding me.
I sing this song to my 3yr old grandson and he tells me I no young man 😂
No need to compare; let the artist be themselves in their moment.
