For 57 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music. The bands debut album, “East Bay Grease,” defined their sound and landed them with Warner Brothers. Their 1972 debut for that label, “Bump City,” was a hit on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B Albums chart and netted them the hits “You’re Still A Young Man” and “Down to The Nightclub.” The 1970s were a boom period with radio classics like “So Very Hard to Go” and “What Is Hip?,” and the band continued to tour and record over the years.
In 2018, they returned to Oakland, Calif. to celebrate their landmark 50th anniversary. Tower’s window-rattling grooves and raucous party spirit has been a balm for the soul throughout their half-century existence, but the release of “50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater” couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
The band has traveled the world, enjoying hit singles on their own and backing legendary artists including Otis Redding, Elton John, Santana, the Grateful Dead, John Lee Hooker, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others. In the process they’ve defined an “Oakland Soul” sound as instantly recognizable as those from Detroit, as well as inspirations like Memphis and Philadelphia.
