What is Hip? - Tower of Power
5.14.74 - Ultrasonic Studios, Hempstead, NY

One of my favorite genres of music is funk.  Funk seems to have a lot of different connotations for different people.  However, if I had to define the funk I’m a fan of most, I’d direct all interested booty shakers to this band and this song.  If you’ve never heard Tower of Power, or only remember that Balco roidster Victor Conte played bass for the group in a later incarnation, then sit back, hit play and be prepared for uncontrollable funkgasms.

Lucky for us, Rocco Prestia played bass during this period, and is undoubtably one of the best bass players of all time without the use of any funk enhancing drugs.
