I haven't heard this one for awhile, but I immediately sang along: every word, every inflection; it's in me! 🎶
This is definetely a TOP classic/standard a song they always do on their shows!! A song that's 50 years old but still timeless!!
Two iconic bands from this era are Tower of Power and Earth, Wind, and Fire. EVERYBODY loves these two bands!
Don't Forget Chicago. Seeing EWF and Chicago September 1st in Concord CA!
Still remembered all the words! People actually fell in love in those days.
This song was a standard play in clubs across the country when it hit the streets. I remember the guys and gals loving this masterpiece. Dance floors were always packed with Tower Of Power tunes.
Tower of Power is still playing concerts!! I was so lucky to have their music as a teenager!! Their brass section was awesome!!❤
I'M GLAD I GREW UP WITH THIS MUSIC, PURE GOLD.
2024 I’m 72 years old still listen to this song horn section is off the hook!!!
😆TRUTH🙌
Paula voce é uma privilegiada por ter esse bom gosto e ainda cultivando o habito de ouvir musica. um forte abraço.
I love this Band. Remember them from back in like 1972. Love their song "Down at The Nightclub."
Few groups, if any had Horns that could match the Tower Of Power, Or Vocalist that could touch them. This group had it all. Thanks again. #271
EWF had great horns too
He acts like he's never heard this...bless his heart, so young, welcome to the 70s!!
JM is learning fast how GREAT the music was in OUR youth. We were so lucky to hear these songs new and in many cases it blew our minds.@@alisonwinston2547
The Tower has had some very talented lead singers, Rick Stevens, who served as lead singer in its early years, lending his vocals to the East Bay funk group's signature 1972 hit, “You're Still a Young Man,” ... Later on So Very Hard To Go with Lenny Williams performing the vocals. The song is the band's biggest hit to date in the United States, peaking at No. 17 on the Hot 100 on 28 July 1973 and No. 4 on KHJ radio in L.A. on 31 July 1973. You have them both in your playlist.... cool
Long Live Boss Radio!
Those were the days with the best radio on the planet playing the greatest music ever created.@@Russ-gy7tx
Chicago is another great band who has amazing horns and amazing songs!!❤️❤️
Chicago was more of a better recording band than in live performance.
Old-school soul from Tower of Power
Tightest band ever. Even live, never miss a beat.
I've seen these guys live several times over the years, and they ALWAYS bring their A- game ❤
Love, love, love, great choice!
Haven't heard this song in a long time. Was big back in the day. Forgot how good it is. Something special about it. And as others have commented, I too remembered the lyrics.
Has all the elements. Music, horns, voice, arrangement
Just sooooo good
I was a senior at Illinois State University in 1969 and Tower of Power played at the University Union. Great Concert indeed I played trumpet coronet and baritone in my earlier years and could read music by age12...so I love the brass section of this group.. indeed !
I envy you.
@@RBS314And you should have seen my date ! She was gorgeous Dance we did...memories of a lifetime....soon to be 78 what a great time was had in my youth.. indeed ! db
"So Very Hard To GO"
Ain't nothin' I can say, nothin' I can do,
I feel so bad, yeah, I feel so blue.
I got to make it right for everyone concerned
even if it's me, if it means it's me what's gettin' burned.
'Cause I could never make you unhappy, no, I couldn't do that girl,
only wish I didn't have to love you do, makes it so, so very hard to go.
(backgrounds-So very hard to go)
'Cause I love you so, (backgrounds answer-So very hard to go),
ah, I love you do.
I'd have to pay for my mistakes,
I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl,
even tho' my heart aches.
Your dreams have all come true just the way you planned them,
so I'll just step aside, I'm gon step aside and lend a helping hand then.
'Cause I could never make you unhappy, no I couldn't do that girl,
only wish I didn't love you so, makes it so, so very hard to go.
(Backgrounds-So very hard to go)
'Cause I love you so (backgrounds answer-so very hard to go)
Oh, I love you so (backgrounds answer again-so very hard to go)
And it ain't easy to walk away when a man love some body (so very hard to go) hey, hey, hey, hey.
Another iconic 70's band with horns you need to add soon.... Earth, Wind & Fire - That's the Way of the World (Official Audio)

Today you started your second year with two genuine Classics. One from the Best of Rock, and one from the Best Of Soul. I smile again.
Superb, soulful song and band with that jazzy flavor!
Elvin Bishop - Fooled around and fell in love (1975)

The best soul band ever ever
Have to agree. A bit underrated too
So much soul and funk ☮️☮️🎵🎶🎵💜
Great Song, checkout a group call NEW BIRTH and their song call UNTIL IT'S TIME TO GO with a great female lead singer
Going to see them 29 Oct 23 in Hartford. I'm sure it will be very hip.
Seen them LIVE...GREAT!!❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Saw them in concert in Sonoma County one year...I just love this band..This was always my favorite song of theirs...
Vehicle by The Ides of March
That bari sax hits just right.

How about What Is Hip from the same album with Lenny as the lead singer 😊
Ten Years After - I'd Love to Change the World (Stereo Quad Mix)

I have seen TOP a few times over the years and they NEVER disappoint..OUTstanding!!
From my old stomping grounds. Also check out "Sparkling in the Sand" and "You're Still a Young Man."
LOVE TOP❣
Sweet soul sounds of my childhood. JM you should react to TOP's other top hits: "You're Still a Young Man", "Sparkling in the Sand">(will take you on a trip),
"What is Hip"
🎤🎺🎷🎸✌🤩
Best heard on a good vintage stereo system such as a pair of Cerwin Vega DX-7 speakers and a realistic STA 2100 receiver.
Weeping Lenny. The 2nd vocalist of TOP and the best. 😊 He came in on the 3rd album after Rick Stevens was jailed for killing a drug dealer.😮
always amazing. thank you.
Hey JM, you should try "Silky Soul" by the legendary group Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, the song is a tribute to the late great Marvin Gaye who put Frankie and his group on the game, he helped them to land a deal with Capitol Records. Silky Soul is the title track of the album released in 1989, wich includes the hit '"Can't Get Over You", both songs worth a listen. Cheers from Brazil!
With absolutely no disrespect to all of the great "Horn Bands" of the 70's, like Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, Brass Construction, Sun, The Ohio Players, The Brecker Brothers, etc. IMHO, Tower of Power (TOP) has the best "Horn Section" in the music business!!!
Hey JM, you want some serious Soul music with a extra touch.... Major Harris - Love Wont Let Me Wait

Lenny Williams singing.....With Bruce Conte on guitar.
Please they this gem of them; “Boys of the Bay, you must watch the video very intense instruments!!
I feel like I'm on the road to San Francisco!
I sang this when my first wife dumped me, with a few changes, especially I sang "I could never make you happy." Because nothing I did was good enough.
I love your reactions so much I would love to see you react to Squib Cakes and Look In My Eyes!!!
I hope you have back up for your videos in case YT goes down. I copy each one into a file and memory sticks so I will have them and share them for the foreseeable future with family and friends. I'll be happy to send you a copy any time. Thanks for the great content.
Slamming
Tower Of Power with the music they had back in the day you would create a whole new generation after fooling with that band music
Oakland proud

Chicago is another great band who has fantastic horns and incredible songs! 💯❤️
Chicago is a very good studio recording band. The horn players are all graduates from DePaul University School of Music. In a recording session they are able to go back and correct mistakes. I saw them in person and the trumpet player cracked notes and was terrible
