Review

Rolling Stone (3/18/71, p.44) - "...This is simply a fine, funky album....Their central force is lead signer Rufus Miller, whose rough, gutsy style focuses what might otherwise be just another big brassy band..."

Title Note

Tower Of Power: Rufus Miller, Rick Stevens (vocals); Willy Fulton (guitar, background vocals); Skip Mesquite (flute, tenor saxophone, background vocals); Emilio "Mimi" Castillo (alto saxophone, background vocals); Steve Kupka (baritone saxophone, background vocals); Greg Adams, David Padron (trumpet); Frank Prestia (bass); Dave Garibaldi (vibraphone, drums, background vocals).

Additional personnel: Mic Gillette (trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn); Ken Balzell (trumpet).

Recorded at Mercury Recording Studios, San Francisco, California. Includes liner notes by David Perry.

With the release of their first album EAST BAY GREASE, Tower Of Power announced to the world that the funk was here to stay. Their tightly syncopated soul, generated by original rhythm teammates David Garibaldi and Francis Rocco Prestia and punctuated by the world-famous Tower Of Power horns set in motion a revolution of '70s funk that carried on the traditions of James Brown.

Released in 1970, GREASE would serve as the blueprint for the band's unyielding style that would continue virtually unchanged for the next three decades. Original members like founders Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc" Kupka, Greg Adams, Skip Mesquite, and vocalist Rufus Miller defined the Oakland soul sound that produced lasting favorites like "Knock Yourself Out," "Social Lubrication," and "Sparkling In the Sand." After this initial splash, TOP would go on to international fame, delivering their message of the funk to the world for years to come.
