LB nails it and might be one of his best performances. His phrasing, breath control and pitch is nearly perfect! The band's fills and background vocals are absolutely insane.
LB is probably one of the best. Damn. this band is a getter, have always enjoyed every concert, dolfo is unreal in this syncronize, always , and doc and Rocko rip , thank you for your joy brothers! smiles always. see you next time. ty emilio.
HIS LUNGS SO BIG THIS LARRY HIGH NOTES LOW NOTES HE HIT WITH EASE... INCREDIBLE VOCALS RANGE.. HE CAN SING JAZZ STANDARDS IF HE WANTED TOO.. WHAT A PAIR LUNGS... LOU RAWLS EAT YOUR HEART OUT...
To try to compensate for Doc's absence somewhat, I turned the bass all the way up on my PC. Result? Rocco is killing it! What an absolute talent. I saw T.O.P. 2 weeks ago and they are still strong! 50 years! God bless them!
A song that sends you such a beautiful chill and no one can deliver it like one of my favorite singers Larry Braggs and all of TOP these guys can just bring it like no one else no one.
'As Surely As I Stand Here' on the band's '40th Anniversary' DVD is absolutely sensational. To see the then-current band augmented with past members is like watching a testament to the life of all those great players...what they enjoyed and endured over the decades since first pursuing music. I've watched it dozens of times and it still brings tears to my eyes...especially knowing that since then two of the players, Skip Mesquite and Mic Gillette, are no longer of this world. Cue in around 22:20 for the lead up to 'As Surely...' This whole show is great. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-trHaA_oMZTA.html
At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="298">4:58</a>, with all respect to Sinatra, Rocco IS a man and his music! The expression is priceless! Classic!
Tower of Power didn't think Larry fit the Band after he was singing and traveling with them for around 13 years......Larry was later asked to come sing with The Temptations and I don't see him singing with the Temptations......Tower of Power should just ask Larry to come back......
Check it out at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="278">4:38</a>. Rocco is subdued - but totally on point. Larry Braggs? Oh yeah! This is damn good music by a damn good band!
@@floatsting20 So different than Lenny. Still an amazing singer. The new singer Marcus Scott is definitely pulling inspiration from LW. Check him out on the NPR tiny desk singing So Very Hard to Go. Really subtle and relaxed like LW.

AKA "Mad Dad" TOP remains Mad Dad's favorite band ever, but not a big fan of Larry Bragg. Rick Stevens, Lenny Williams were the bands top vocalists. You can maybe add Brent Carter and Tom Bowes to the mix also. (Just an opinion).
