The great R&B band, Tower Of Power, originated out of Oakland, CA in 1968. Very popular among West Coast concert goers, they developed a huge nationwide following in the early 1970s among FM band listeners, leading to concert tours all over North America. In July 1972, "You're Still A Young Man" was released as single off their LP, Bump City. It ran on US charts for 13 weeks, peaking at #22 on Cash Box for two weeks during the first half of September (#29 on Billboard). One of my top favorite R&B love ballads of the year, I think it deserved to chart much higher, certainly making it to the Top Ten of either Billboard or Cash Box.

There have been many personnel changes to the band over the years, which still is together today and performing concert tours, some of which appear in this video. Although Lenny Williams has been the most famous lead singer identified with the group, his predecessor, Rick Stevens, was the actual front man who sang the lead vocal on "You're Still A Young Man." In 2012 he reunited with the band for several concerts and gave a stellar performance of his 1972 hit song. A portion of that performance appears later on in this video.

The video itself works on several levels and I hope the finished product is in keeping with the spirit of the music that made it possible.

I had the great honor of being able to play in the AF Band with drummer Dave Garabaldi before he got out and joined the group. What an amazing talent and nice guy!

Great tune, but the live version with Hubert Tubbs singing is LIGHT YEARS better than this. ( From "Live & In Living Color." )

Great Horns! I'am a big fan of the sax. Smooth song with a real nice Motown feel.
