    No one, and I mean NO ONE can match Tower of Power's horn section. From stage to studio, Castillo and Company have no peers. One word describes them other than pure talent and that is T-I-G-H-T!

    Dude, agreed. I was in one in the San Jose Bay Area in the mid 70s that did T.O.P. tunes... it was the best youthful gig in my life...!!!

    This is the very best lineup in the history of T.O.P. One of their very best songs too. Garibaldi and Prestia rule. C. T.'s part on B-3 has never been even closely matched; and is sorely missed by this fan. Thanks for this.

    Very nice song ! Nice singer perfomance. One of the two only american songs that appear in brazilian City of God film, not by chance, but for beauty and profisionalism.

    caught Lenny's band back in '78 at The Old Waldork in San Francisco. My friend and I took dozens of Photos and slides. We'll be posting on Flikr & Photobucket soon. Just Google Lenny Williams. They should all be posted by early August 2011.

    i don't think the crowd is that subdued considering this performance is probably right after they released ToP...so the song was new to the audience. sure, people go crazy now because this is one of ToP's signature songs, 35 years later. agreed that they're still amazing though :)

    I fail to see why this one reached #10 or better on lists while What is Hip? only reached like 90 at best. Trying to learn the bassline at last mentioned song and it's sick :D Really worth watching, the whole arrangement on that song is awesome!

    The difference between then and now is when they play this song the crowd goes ballistic. seems like the crowd wasn't feelin the jam or maybe the ushers were reallly strict? Tower is still the baddest band in the land.
