Californian Tower of Power is the evergreen of jazzy soul/funk. The band’s founders Stephen ”Doc” Kupka and Emilio Castillo are still around to keep the band going. The band has a broad-based audience, and Tower Of Power’s soulful horn funk reaches out to rock audiences too. The band’s best-known songs include What is Hip? and Soul with Capital S. Tower of Power’s stunning horn section has been borrowed by the likes of Santana, Rod Stewart, John Lee Hooker and Aerosmith.
