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.

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.

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.
