    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Better than Chicago, better than Blood Sweat and Tears…in my humble opinion👍🏼😊

    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.

    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.
