Tower of Power have been playing American R&B/Soul music with their world-renown horn section since 1968.  Along with their music releases, dozens of other bands and performers have tapped TOP's horn section to record on their albums.  Formed by Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc" Kupka, they are still blowing some mean horns today!  Tower of Power have spawned numerous world-class musicians throughout the years including Richard Elliot, Lenny Pickett, Chester Thompson and Euge Groove - just to name a few.  Award-winning program director Ray White catches up with Emilio and Doc backstage in March of 2009, to talk about the great talent that's been a part of the band throughout the years and about the making of The Great American Soulbook album.  Their latest project is Soul Side of Town.  In our "spotlight segment," our hostess Lisa Davis features the most well known vocalist of the bands' storied career - Lenny Williams, who still records and performs today.  His latest studio album is titled Still In The Game.  Learn more about our cutting-edge show by visiting http://www.cooolcat.com
