Default The tumultuous TOWER OF POWER

from
Dave Garibaldi interview





Garibaldi [Tower of Power's drummer] left in 1980, after some tumultuous years with the band. ''We were all going in different directions'', Garibaldi explained. ''There were a lot of negative influences that are well documented. I didn't want to be in that situation''.
The band had the its share of disputes with recording companies and the usual personnel squabbles. The most notorious incident involved Rick Stevens, the former lead singer, who was heard on ''You're Still A Young Man'' and ''Sparkling in the Sand'', who was convicted of murder and manslaughter in drug-related slayings.
