Multi-racial, funk and soul band with the tightest horn section east and west of the Rockies. Formed in Oakland, CA in 1968, the band formed connections with other Bay Area acts like Santana and Sly and the Family Stone. Tower of Power’s (also known as TOP) strong horns and rhythm section has led to many hip-hop producers sampling their songs.
