Oakland’s Tower of Power experienced their greatest success with this album, recorded in 1973 and the first with Lenny Williams. Their third album, Tower of Power is very funky and full of horns, but Williams’ vocals really shine. The record sounds fantastic, and while some funk/soul groups split their albums between ballads and groovy songs, Tower of Power make almost every song pretty funky while Lenny Williams sounds natural throughout. The production is excellent, and makes a lot of other funk sound very dated. It’s got a really cool album cover and I got it for a bargain.
