Breaking down a Hall-Of-Fame groove from 1973 by one of the greatest bands to do it: Tower of Power. I'll dig into "Soul Vaccination", what makes it such an iconic groove, and how--together--each player does their part to make it happen. Including Dave Garibaldi (drums), (the late) Francis 'Rocco' Prestia (bass), and (the late) Bruce Conte (guitar). I'll even show you how Lenny Williams (vocals) fits into the rhythmic puzzle of the song.

Make sure to watch until the end to hear my story about playing with two members of TOP!
