This song basically explains how there's nothing wrong with other genres of music, but that soul is the only kind that really feels the groove. I have to say that I mostly agree. Soul music definitely a genre that has more groove than any other. They lyrics are somewhat broad in their interpretation of what soul is, including funk it that generalization. That's also something I'm fine with them deciding. This live version pushes the tempo pretty hard and fast, but it still grooves pretty hard.
Tower of Power is an amazing band all around the group. Their horn line is one of the main reasons for their success. The line has performed for everybody from Aerosmith to Grand Master Flash. The group has gone through several personnel changes through the years, but that's expected of a band that's been performing since 1968. This is one of the group's biggest hits, but nothing tops "What is Hip?' for commercial success.
