of course.there Horns are what I have truly always dug about them.but there Vocalists also brought another Element to them IMHO.I enjoyed there Two Disc Anthology alot.I wasn't really crazy about there Albums on a Whole but there Jams that stand out are some of the Baddest Songs over the past 30 Plus Years IMHO.Peace mistermaxxx | |

Anyone else diggin em? Yes. The bad news is that bassist Francis Rocco Prestia is ailing and needs a liver transplant, and quickly. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Despite a great hornsection, Tof P is only as good as their vocalist. Thier current lead, Brent Carter, is their best shot since the heyday of Lenny WIlliams '73 -'76. Their last release was Soul Vaccination: Live! from 1999 a complete set from their '98 tour. All the old school goodies are there, plus some of the better songs without LW.
Songlist 1. Soul With a Capital S (Castillo/Kupka) - 5:05 2. I Like Your Style (Castillo/Kupka/Milo) - 3:42 3. Soul Vaccination (Castillo/Kupka) - 4:56 4. Down to the Nightclub (Bump City) [Bump City] (Castillo/Kupka/Milo) - 3:14 5. Willing to Learn (Castillo/Kupka) - 6:06 6. Souled Out (Castillo/Kupka/McClain) - 4:58 7.
