Tony Adamo’s New Strokeland Records Release
Fred E. Harris, Los Angeles, CA
The soul funk artistry of Strokeland recording artist Tony Adamo is about to hit the radio airwaves in the form of a previous hit song written by Tower of Power (TOP) co-founders Stephen “Doc” Kupka and Emilio Castillo. TOP members, Doc Kupka, Tom Politzer and returning member Mic Gillette add their funky horns to this cover song, another funk pop hit to be.
In keepin’ his ear to the street, guitarist/producer Jerry Stucker added R&B/Soul -legend drummer, James Gadson (Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones),The funked-out organist Neil Larson (Gregg Allman, B.B. King, Whitney Houston), and the soulful playing of Reggie McBride on bass (Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Keb’Mo’).
Jim Santella of L.A. JAZZ SCENE MAGAZINE digs Adamo’s strong original style and says, “He sings with the bold character of a man who knows how to entertain, recalling pop singers Tom Jones, David Clayton-Thomas and Brook Benton, as well as jazz singers Al Jarreau and Mark Murphy.” With Tony Adamo’s smooth funk vocals, the triple threat of TOP horns and the rhythm section applying pressure to the groove, this song will be the sound of the summer. Horn Driven Radio (Raoul Fernandez) will be the first U.S. radio station to break this new MP3, “This Time it’s Real.”

- TONY ADAMO IN THE STUDIO WITH DOC KUPKA, MIC GILLETTE, AND TOM POLITZER
Matt Boudreau’s Broken Radio Recording Studio (San Francisco, California) was the perfect sound backdrop for the soul/funk artistry of singer-songwriter Tony Adamo’s smooth funk vocals and Jerry Stucker’s in-the-pocket production for a new cover of a classic Tower of Power (TOP) hit tune. The funky knockin’ song, covered by Strokeland Records artist Tony Adamo, was written by Tower of Power co-founders, Stephen 'Doc' Kupka and Emilio Castillo. The historic session was photographed by famed photographer, Mark Leialoha.
When Doc Kupka got hip to this new Adamo/Stucker arrangement, he was in the groove and immediately signed on for the horn section. Mic Gillette, who has arranged and recorded on six Adamo/Stucker songs, wrote a funk show-time arrangement for this new cover. Tom E. Politizer of TOP was brought in for the lead solo. This funkifized TOP horn section combination blew the roof right off the Broken Radio Recording Studio, sending their funky musical vibes into the soundosphere! At the end of the recording session Doc suggested two more TOP songs for Adamo to cover. Keep your ear to the streets for more to come and for Tony Adamo's new release, which you'll find right here on Strokeland Records.
