Class shines through... how many of them are still the originals...?
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

i think there are four or five originals, including rocco prestia. not band for an old band with a lot of members.

Pretty incredible...I tried so hard years ago to cop that feel...it's really hard.  Never was truly successful.

I can take about an hour of the Tower of Power as long as I get some ...

Naw, I like horn rock. ToP isn't my favorite (BS&T is), but I have some of their stuff and the music is indeed excellently played.

Was that a Francis Vincent reference in there...? :mrgreen:

I've always loved soul music...soul music and hillbilly music.  Not sure what that says about me. Last weekend I played with a 5 man Temptations style group...it was awesome.

I don't know if I'd call ToP horn "rock" - even BS&T is questionable. Early Chicago, yeah.

Guilty as charged. I used the term (too) loosely. ToP were more souly, BS&T more jazzy and Chicago more poppy (bluesy in their early days). I liked BS&T best for David Clayton-Thomas' and his successor's/predecessor's Jerry Fisher respective voice.

David Clayton Thomas was a pretty awesome singer.  Always sounded sort of like Ray Charles to me.

I thought Clayton-Thomas was one of the most powerful singers. His voice had that punch and vitality that are hard to fake. Not quite in the same league as Tom Jones, but close.

His voice had/has an easy listening touch, he wasn't a rock shouter per se, but I like(d) the blue-eyed soul in it.

That's a different side of Clayton-Thomas than I've heard before.  Not as compelling to me as his BS&T work, but OK.
