About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Tower of Power followed their self-titled gold album with an even better album that didn't enjoy similar sales success. Back to Oakland had tougher, funkier and better-produced cuts, stronger vocals from Lenny Williams (who was more comfortable as their lead singer), and included an excellent ballad in "Time Will Tell," and a rousing tempo in "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream)." The Tower of Power horn section reaffirmed its reputation in both soul and pop circles, and the album included a powerhouse instrumental. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

January 11, 2004: "Back To Oakland" by T.O.P. is a better CD than the groups previous album "Tower Of Power".Everything works perfectly on this record. From the hard funk sessions, to LENNY WILLIAMS smooth romantic ballads. And lets not forget the mighty horn section. The horn arrangements are fantastic.
