Thank you!
In 74 I joined a band on drums called the london street diplomats they modeled the band after t o p same 5 horn section ect. We lived and died t o p. I left in 84 after people no longer cared to put the work in. Those were the best yrs of my life .I first met t o p in Cincinnati in 73 and life changed for ever. I've met the guy's at least 20 times. After the comeback I saw for the first-time in yrs in 92 and they kicked butt and like a fine wine they get better with age. Thank god their still with us. You know your nuts about a band when you cry hearing oriented members passing away. Jay spell,skip , mick , rocco , rick Steven's its just not the same with out these guys. Replacements are good, hit all the right notes but that intangible, that certain something that can be felt, but is impossible to describe . The three remaining original members mimi, doc, david and I almost forgot greg adams these guys are national treasures.
So many talented players have graced the TOP line up over the last 55 years. They have influenced millions of musicians and defined a genre. Just attended another show two nights ago! So great!
Great stuff! I just discovered this. I became a fan of the Tower in 1976 when I saw them live for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
I new this band was just the ultimate groove band I think ever! I'm a musician and I'm 68 years old. And I'll always will listen too these guys till I die!
Ita so great to hear these guys talking about their music! I've been listening to T.O.P. since I heard them on the radio for the first time in 1992 as a 17 years old young man. After I heard them play, I took my bicycle straight down to my local record store in Gävle, Sweden and bought the Monster on a Leash-album on CD. Ever since that day they have accompanied me thru the years and I'm still loving them and their music. I've seen them live at three different occasions in Sweden and Finland and I'm really hoping to catch them again when all this other madness is over. Thank you for interviewing these living legends!
Thanks, again!
THE BEST 👍IMAGINE 50+YRS THEIR FUNKING DOING SOMETHING RIGHT DIGGING ON HEARING THESES STORIES KEEP ON FUNKING MANY MORE YEARS👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You’re interviewing my favourite band so I’m slightly biased, but these are great! Great to see Doc, Mimi & DG reminisce about the good old Bay Area days. They were special back then, and still are today. When Mimi introduces Diggin’ on James Brown and says ‘Tower Of Power is a Soul Band playing Soul Music for over 50 years’, I’ve been there supporting them for at least 45 of them. Can’t wait to see them ‘live’ again. Your RUclipss are filling a void!
Thanks for documenting this highly influential and important band. Doc Kupka perfected a style of playing baritone saxophone that has influenced every bari player who ever played R&B since. "I Got the Chop" is one of the most demanding baritone lines ever recorded and none better captures the nuance of the instrument. Doc is to Emilio as Harry Carney is to Duke Ellington. The band always wrote to its strengths. I suppose that makes David Garibaldi Sam Woodyard?
I've seen them numerous times and not once have I ever seen the crowd sitting!
I was a Chicago fan back in high school, played trumpet in all the school band activities and then I heard "Bump City". Then I heard "What is Hip?" and I had my musical universe rearranged. "Holy shit" I said to my fellow high school musicians, "You gotta hear these guys!" Thank you and hope to see you at a gig soon. Musical gratitude beyond words 48 years later.
Love T.O.P!!! Great Interview!!!
Yeah these guys were and are the real deal . Memory seeing them play in 1973/74 at Charlie Browns in emeryville (Berkeley) I was 18/19 driving from San Carlos to see band I loved , playing my tape deck with east bay grease recording . God those were great days man
EAST BAY MUSIC = ROCK N' SOUL
🎼🎙🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁🎼♥️
A Miracle it is,they just keep right on Funking.

How’s it going , QUESTION , I grew up with lineage back to the mid 1800’s in California, Lived in a rural area east of Fresno that WAS awesome with Santa Cruz to three major Nat - Parks not to far away and as a kid pretty young and after we had huge backyard with many teens over doing what we did back then 😜! BEHIND US A BAND JAMMED AND IT WAS KNOWN THE CONTE BROTHERS WHO LIVED THERE WERE IN THIS BAND ‘Tower Of Power ‘ That’s Victor Conte and his brother , Or the band rehearsed there ? Some affiliation ? Please I would really appreciate it if you know of this ? Seventies I believe , I lived all over the Bay Area and had a uncle and others there too, Up below skyline blvd and Marin county where many in the music scene resided , Bill Graham to Elvin Bishop and so many other that made it big , PLEASE LET ME KNOW ? Sincerely , Kevin Standow .
