Born in 72, still my fav song, being a top-fan for over 30years,,,,

One of my all-time favorite songs ... period !!!

In 1972, I was a young man: 23. This song, and the album from which it came, are still in my top five of all time, and I’ve had 74 years of music to listen to and enjoy! Thank you!

I'm right there with you, I'm the same age and I remember this song playing such a big part of my life at that time when I was in the Navy, this music from the 70s era means more to me now than ever before... take care.

Definitely check out "So Very Hard to Go" by them as well. Gorgeous hit recording from the same era.

I'm so thrilled that you, or anyone else can appreciate and still be moved by this music regardless of it being released in 72/73. This band has a phenomenal horns section and they STILL CAN DELIVER the goods!

Hearing Tower of Power live was always awesome and I had the opportunity to catch them 3 times.

This tune was recorded during a special time in music - Tower of Power, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and Chicago Transit Authority all had excellent horn sections - and Rick Steven's vocals were so powerful and soulful. You can tell that he means each and every word he is singing. No duplicity, no mendacity, no pretense: I'm not too young, YOU ARE THE ONE!

Mimi was dating a girl that was older than him and when she dumped him/broke up she said exactly these words "you're still a young man baby don't waste your time".

I would add soul groups like James Brown, Sly Family Stone, Earth Wind Fire. Great era

@alonzocoyethea6148 6 ай бұрын

What I liked most was seeing how in live shows, the horn section sings the backup vocals on top of playing the brass parts studio perfect!

I've loved this song since day one when I was all 6 years old and the Quiet Storm format began. It never gets old.

@kdogusna77 6 ай бұрын

Saw them last February in Greenville SC. Still bringing it! "Soul Vaccination." "Soul with a Capital S." "What Is Hip." "So Very Hard to Go." "Diggin with James Brown." And my favorite is their live version of "There Is Only So Much Oil."

0:45 What you said at the end really struck a chord with me! Being close with that person you find so atractive physically and emotionally felt like you were in Paradise, and you'd hope and wish those moments would last for always! But those precious moments pass, and life continues with all its monotony, heartaches, all types of despair and agony, disappointments of all sorts among many other dreadful experiences! But at least you have those memories of being taken to heaven and paradise for a few brief moments! One day we will live and experience those amazing moments and feelings forever! For now, let's enjoy life as much as we can until the next chapter! Wow, I got carried away, oh well, goodbye y'all!

Very good reaction, Ashley. Your scenarios are very accurate, probably all of them occurred. This song was played over and over on the radio station of my choice. I’m pretty it was in my collection too. Thanks.

Looks like a large group, I enjoyed the vocals and harmony's on this one. Also the horns. Reminded me in parts of Earth, Wind and Fire and of Heatwave, and nice for a slow dance!-Colin Ward

I always enjoy your reactions but this one is special. Tower of Power was from the Bay Area (East Bay) and was huge in the late 60's & early 70's. Rick Stevens was one of the great soul singers of that period until he went to prison and the band never was the same after that. Great memories...thank you once again. Please react to "So Very Hard To Go" by this group.

It's a pretty good song, but my favorite by this group is So Very Hard To Go! Like another sub mentioned, they do have a great horn section, similar to Chicago I suppose! I have to be on my way, so long!

@angelomaurizio1668 6 ай бұрын

Id noticed you reacted to Tower of Power's lead singer Lenny Williams as a solo artist (Cause I Love You, 1975) You should check out TOP's other big hit "So Very Hard To Go" I would say its better than "You're still a Young Man". But far as TOP as a group, WOW! Tower of Power's horn section were so well known they were used by other artists like Santana, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Patti Labelle and Otis Redding just to name a few. These guys should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame but they're not..what a shame.

That was Lenny Williams singing, he was only with them a couple of years, seriously underrated success wise ! Try “ What is Hip” u won’t be disappointed ! Plus, these guys are still around and tour constantly !

Great, great, band. Their horn section was tops! Can’t remember if they’re east bay (Oakland) or south bay (San Jose)? Regardless, top notch Cali band and a great song to slow dance to at high school dances…back in the day😊👍🏼.

@knuteboy3778 6 ай бұрын

One of my all-time favorite vocal performances. Rick Stevens was the singer who preceded Lenny Williams. Rick was a talented, yet troubled singer who promising career was cut short from going to prison for murder. Shame, because he had tons of potential as you can clearly hear in this track.

@danielolson5378 6 ай бұрын

You can't go wrong with these guys and this song i guess you could call a TOP standard a song they always do at their shows. Background story for the song's title is when the band's leader was in love with this girl who was a couple of years older than him. She dumped him and said exactly these words "you're still a young man baby, don't waste your time".

Penned primarily by T of P trumpet man Mic Gillette; he got the idea for the song because he was dating a woman who was many years his senior. His family and friends were telling him over and over he was wasting his time with her. GRRRRRR, Angela you get prettier every time I see your reacts! Your still an old man bayyy-be! Get your head outa' the clouds! Tower of Power too smooth -- pumped full of bump and soul ...
