Tower of Power

Tower of Power (or TOP for short) is an American R&B-based horn section and band, originating in Oakland, California, that has been performing for over 44 years. They are best known for their funky soul sound highlighted by a powerful horn section and precisely syncopated bass-guitar lines. There have been several lead vocalists, the most famous being Lenny Williams, who fronted the band between early 1973 and late 1974, the period of their greatest commercial success. Their biggest hits include "You're Still A Young Man", "So Very Hard To Go","Soul With a Capital S", "Soul Vaccination", "What Is Hip?", and "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream)." more »

I've been through all them changes
A lot of stuff came down
I've dealt with all the issues
You might say I've been around
But back when I got started
There was a righteous sound

It doesn't matter what I've been through
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

Ya know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I'm on the same page

Cause one thing that I've found
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

I had an attitude adjustment
I did some psycho therapy
I helped myself to some self-help
I dabbled in some ESP
Though my world is ever-changing
And I move from town to town

It doesn't matter where I've been to
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

Ya know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I'm on the same page

Cause one thing that I've found
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

You got your rap and your disco
You got your drum machine
You got your r-rated gangster
You got your grungy scene
You got your state of the art
You got your digital sound

It doesn't matter where it's going to
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown

Take it to the bridge
It'll get ya where ya live
When there's water all around
You can still get outta town
And still be diggin' on James Brown

Ya know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I'm on the same page

Cause one thing that I've found
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown
