Jan 6, 2010 - I am pretty sure that is the singer that did time for murder. These guys tore it the hell up!

Jan 9, 2010 - This is Lenny. Rick Stevens was done and gone in (73?). No worries. I hear that they serve a wicked pepper steak on Tuesday night in the joint.

SimuLord Says:

Jan 15, 2010 - @mybadtexas "These guys tore it the hell up! " So, apparently, did the singer.

mybadtexas Says:

Jan 17, 2010 - Yeah! I saw them twice around this time. They were off the hook! I miss live music like this.

mybadtexas Says:

Jan 17, 2010 - Oh! I also miss being 16 years old like when I saw them. LOL!

Jan 28, 2010 - i'm learning the bass line for this song and it is BAD ASS. although in this video it looks like they're on crack or something, it's like way faster than the recording!!!

Jan 29, 2010 - who was probably their best vocalist

brabon1 Says:

Jan 29, 2010 - in the tux...dancin....thats him

Sax4Him Says:

Feb 7, 2010 - Not Hubert either. This guy followed Hubert and sang on the We Came To Play LP......

craigwho2000 Says:

Feb 14, 2010 - Bruce Conte on fire....so underrated

MagnusLindblOOm Says:

Feb 15, 2010 - This is the absolute best version of "What is hip" I ever heard. Awesome guitarplaying by Conte, Cool drum solo etc ... My band cover this tune, check it out on my user

Feb 21, 2010 - wow..........thnx for posting that stuff........i'm a fan of T.o.P. since many years, but i hadn't a chance to get in touch with that kind of stuff...... great, thnx again

dgsimone Says:

Mar 10, 2010 - @MagnusLindblOOm You gotta see the 1973 version with Lenny Williams singing, although this version beats it with the drum and organ solo, and of course, Lenny Picket's dance routine.

dgsimone Says:

Mar 10, 2010 - @speakwhnspkn2 You're right. That's the singer (sorry can't remember his name) who was featured on the Ain't Nothing Stopping Us Now album.

dgsimone Says:

Mar 16, 2010 - I think it was Michael Jeffries who sang on We Came To Play. This singer is someone else. He's featured on the Ain't Stopping Us Now album.

dgsimone Says:

Mar 16, 2010 - yeah, it sounds like him but the singer IS (drum roll): Edward McGee (I can't stand to see the slaughter ...)

Sax4Him Says:

Mar 16, 2010 - That 's the guy, loved his voice too! Lenny , Hubert, and Jeffries were my favorites in the day.

Sax4Him Says:

Mar 16, 2010 - The tambor of his voice reminds me of that actor/comedian who stars with Jackie Chan in all those movies!
