If you listen to this CD and not think 'Tower Of Power' then maybe you're not on the right pages! The powerhouse ensemble from New York, Funk Filharmonik certainly more than deserve their sound paying homage to the legendary TOP.

A handful of the notable acts from the ’70s that are still delighting crowds. They don’t mind playing the old hits, because they’re still getting the kind of warm and spirited receptions that they received when the songs were first played. And they’re having a blast doing it.
