The second Tower of Power LP, Bump City was the first to make any impact.
The group went to Memphis, cut their first great single in "You're Still A Young Man," and learned firsthand about funk and soul.
The production and arrangements were much improved over the debut album, as was the engineering and overall technical quality.
Their lines were crisper, the unison and ensemble passages much sharper, and they were beginning to round into shape.
