When you're young, letting go of a relationship is so hard. One good thing about growing old(and up!) is learning how to love people from the distance that needs to be.
A beautifully written song. Tower of Power group got around quite a bit in the 1970’s. One of the greatest songs they were featured on was Elton John Don’t let the sun go down on me.
Growing up in the Bay Area the music in my home was amazing. TOP, Santana, the Dead and Jefferson Airplane just to name a few. So glad I was living in the era.

Tower of Power…they had the BEST horn section in the biz, back in the day. Better than Chicago, better than Blood Sweat and Tears…in my humble opinion👍🏼😊
Alright now. The great Lenny Williams singing lead as he did with the band LTD. Also he had a very successful solo career. Thanks my dear, I hope you enjoy. Another hit from them is called You still a young man.
He still loves her but she has other plans. He steps aside despite the pain. Sure, no one is to blame, but hopefully she appreciates how difficult the sacrifice is for him. Great song and, as you say, terrific horns and harmonies.
I'd thought Angela reacted to a Lenny Williams solo song, turnt out she did along with another TOP song (You're Still A Young Man) Timeless classic from a timeless group who are still touring til this day.
Hi Ms. D., Off subject but I feel this is important; did U know that Frankie Beverly (77) of Maze passed on the 10th. of September.. I not sure how but a song or two would be a nice honor.. I will miss him.. ♠Mr.G..
His lover has moved on from him. He said "All your dreams have come true." That means she's found someone else and has elevated her life beyond what he could provide her. But, instead of being angry, he's made the decision to "lend 'her" a helping hand" by stepping out of her way. But it's "so very hard to go" because he loves her so. However, he says "I could never make you unhappy. No, I wouldn't do that girl." He's being a real man that cares about her happiness and life. He's unafraid to cooperatively demonstrate to us, his vulnerability and his willingness to suffer the loss of his love.
I always thought this was plainly a song about literal penance. Mess around, pay the price, nothing is concealed that won't be revealed. I liked this song even as a kid in the 70s.
Good morning! I suggest for your reaction MY HEART YOU GO ON by Celine Dion in the voice of Gabriel Henrique. He is very talented. His RUclips channel has the same name.
This is my favorite song by them! It's meaning is very profound and 🪟 transparent! A true masterpiece! Goodbye!

Perfection. TOP HORNS ARE LEGEND
One of my favorite songs of all time. Tower of Power was one of the acts of the first concert I ever attended…1973 Tower + T-Rex + Three Dog Night.
One of the most talented bands of all time. They are iconic and fare above most.
A beautifully written song. Tower of Power group got around quite a bit in the 1970’s. One of the greatest songs they were featured on was Elton John Don’t let the sun go down on me.
always have loved this song, so pretty!

I read these guys were actually from Sacramento.

Great musicians, great feel, great songs, great everything. These guys had it all!
Still do!
This is a true TOP standard a song they always do on their shows since 1973!
...still gets me decades later.
Awesome song!!! My favorite next to You're Still a Young Man!!!
Big fan Tower of Power, this is a great song from them... thanks for this one
I remember this song, love it
I haven't heard that song in ages. Thank you so much.
Really good and soulful and great vocals and harmonies and brass, enjoyed this one-Colin Ward
Great Song!
PLEASE consider..."Ooh, Ooh Child" by the 5 stairsteps! 8:02
so early 70s, so classy.
Man we had so much great music in the 70s.
Tower of Power…they had the BEST horn section in the biz, back in the day.
Better than Chicago, better than Blood Sweat and Tears…in my humble opinion👍🏼😊
Still do. They’re still going strong. On tour right now, in fact.
Gosh! I remember this! Great band and song!! 😅
The pride of Oakland California.
East Bay Grease.
I LOVE this tune! Great pick and reaction.
Tower Of Power was the shit back in the day.
According to me they still are!
What a banger !!

With all due respect, Jeffrey Osborn was the lead singer of LTD, not Lenny Williams.
How some mix up Lenny Williams with Jeffrey Osborne completely different voices.
He still loves her but she has other plans. He steps aside despite the pain. Sure, no one is to blame, but hopefully she appreciates how difficult the sacrifice is for him. Great song and, as you say, terrific horns and harmonies.
Just a reflection of the times and music doesnt get any better
Lenny Williams can SING
I do remember them. This is a great song. I should have payed more attention to them back in the day.
I remember this song -- I really like it
its very hard to go .
So
❤❤❤
The lead vocalist is Lenny Williams, he had a massive hit called Cause I Love You. If you haven’t heard it you should check it out.
This is the first ToP song I've ever enjoyed.
I probably haven't heard this song since the 70s but I remembered all the lyrics. Great song.
Awesome band! One of the earliest purveyors of the Bay Area sound. Incredible horn section🎼✊🏾
Best is the deep baritone sax in the horns ... 1973 I was a freshman in HS.
Try Leonid and Friends version of this--- Will blow you away !!!
Horn section is 2nd to NONE! Check out Soul Vaccination for an amazing horn display! 😊
I'd thought Angela reacted to a Lenny Williams solo song, turnt out she did along with another TOP song (You're Still A Young Man) Timeless classic from a timeless group who are still touring til this day.
The great Lenny Williams on lead vocals!
Great song but those horns takes things to another level!!!!
Kudos for playing Tower of Power! I thot only OG's liked this stuff.
This is "When a Man Loves a Woman" Chapter two... BTW I hope you get to the great Percy Sledge When a Man Loves a Woman... if you haven't.

Awesome song! Have fun now and listen to Lenoid & Friend's tribute band playing this song. Can't tell the difference. They are here on youtube.
Check out "Ain't nothing stopping us now." They're a great group.

Lenny Williams!!!!
Grew up with Tower of Power! They don't make music like that anymore.

You don't care about this song ! you're just there for show your face ..Tu t'en fous ce morceau ! Vous êtes uniquement là pour montrer vôtre tête ..
