• Track Listing

T.O.P.’s last Warner LP before they moved to Columbia, this 1976 release is an essential album for Tower of Power fans in particular and for funk fans at large. It’s no wonder this did well on the pop charts—the soul ballads are sumptuous and the red-hot jams are on fire, propelled by those mighty horns and especially David Garibaldi’s positively sick drumming. What is hip? This is hip, always: "Down to the Nightclub (Bump City)," "You’re Still a Young Man," "What Is Hip?," "Sparkling in the Sand" and "Knock Yourself Out." Newly remastered, first time on 180-gram vinyl! Friday Music.
