And their take on mrs jones and cant you see w roger and jerry and larry at the mike - also sparkling in the sand - are also too unreal. Similar mix to '76 or 81 shows - we got chester and lenny p and michael jeffries here in Scotia, and please know, that Columbia records-era Tower was still something that amazed soul music fans here and we had thosuands.
CAN'T NO BAND,I MEAN NO BAND TODAY,IN 2011...CAN FUNK,WITH THESE HORNS!!! THESE HORNS,ARE TIGHT,FUNKY TIGHT!!! NOW TELL ME,WHAT BAND CAN??? JUST LIKE I SAID,(NONE)...
Dolphins Head Coach Sparano sent out a spirited message to Dolfans-He said he needs you all at the stadium 2REPRESENT & that the team needs your support & undying loyalty-He finished up with-We're going to get there (GET THERE-WHERE? DAMN-iT) 1 way or the other-I hope its with you but we'll do it without you" What do you think about his message-Will you be cheering on the Fins @SunLifeStadium this season-Sound off here @WPLG Your responses will be read on WPLG Local10 News @6am "BELiEVE"
Lenny Williams Had a style all his own and it was great. Larry Braggs has command of the entire Tower of Power catalog. He can at the very least match and even exceed the efforts of all former TOP vocalists. Mimi and other TOP alumni are on record declaring him the best ever. I think so too!
My $.02, first time I saw TOP was in the south cafeteria at College of San Mateo for a buck and a half, 1968. Maybe seen them close to a hundred times through the years. The band touring now is the best in every way. All the other bands and players built and added to the TOP mythology. I love LP and he is who he is... but Tom Politzer haz the chop and gets better all the time. It's apples and oranges.
TOP is FANTASTIC!! Larry Braggs is FANTASTIC!! It's just too bad that his name is not known more in the mainsteam. And he beats the sh** out of all of them. Great voice, Great showman. The CRAP (RAP) rules the record sales but we all know that Braggs is the talent and the man with style.

Top shelf. No band like them. My lovely wife of 34 years and I were amazed stunned and toe stubbed by this awesome legendary band. We can't wait for their next visit to the area.

As good as they are they never found a replacement for Lenny. And that my friends is the truth.

@phillybass101,
The question that everybody needs to be asking is this;
Could Lenny replace Lenny (now in 2011?)
And which Lenny are you referring to (not that either one of them was useless)?
