tower of power

this is my favorite....

You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
Down on my knees,
heart in hand
I was accused of being too young,
but I'm not so young
Can't you understand
that I think like a man?

You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time
You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time

Back once again,
begging you please
Darling, think twice about me,
'cause I'm not so bad
I could make you happy,
I'm not a mad lad

(You're too young to love)
If you and I could be together
(You're too young to love)
I'd get to you through any weather
(You're too young to love)
I love you and I love you only
(You're too young to love)
I'd never leave you lonely
You're too young, whoo-ooh,
don't waste your time

The damage is done,
you'll see that you're wrong
You'll wake up wondering
just how well I've done
Well, I've done all right
Yes, there are some girls
but I'd drop them on sight,
Just for you
because I love you

You're still a young man, baby
Whoo-ooh, don't waste your time...

does anybody know if they've done anything recent?

I've never been a fan of them (mostly because I don't know their music doh! ) but in August, Ellis Hall (former keyboardist and singer w/ Tower of Power) was in the house at Bunkers in Mpls. and came onstage on keyboards and vocals for a few songs with The Combo. nod




Man, this guy's voice just blew me away. nod

Their last studio album, 2003's Oakland Zone is a great return to form. most of the original members are back (Though I think they really need Lenny Williams back as vocalist.....

BTW, Tony Toni Tone did a great tribute to Tower of Power with their song, "Wild Child" (with horn arragements by TOP's own Greg Adams)...
