Tower of Power
Uploaded by: allyokay
Video Description:(Show || Hide)
Tower Of Power jams. Their brassy-reedy-rich grooves, their tight-and-right turns, their bleeding ballads and orchestral funk are monuments to the enduring stature of soul. Their vibe is contagious, happy, life-asserting, a wondrous celebration of good feeling and positive sentiment
