The performers range from past Tower of Power members,Lenny Pickett (now Saturday Night Live band leader) and Mic Gillette to vocalists such as Huey Lewis and Bill Champlin.Band members: Vocalists include: Huey Lewis (Huey Lewis and the News),Bill Champlin (Sons of Champlin), Mickey Thomas (Starship), Frank Biner, Glenn Walters, John Lee Sanders, Emilio Castillo (Tower ofPower) and Melisa Kary (Starship).Doc Kupka, Mic Gillette, Lenny Pickett, Dave Stone, Marvin McFadden,Tim Acosta, John Mizutani, Bill Churchville, Johnny Bamont, David Woodford, David Garibaldi, Jeff Tamelier, Francis Rocco Prestia, Jim Pugh, Johnny Colla, Brett Bloomfield, Eric Westphal.

Sweet! Doc Kupka and the crew are throwin' down some Top Notch funk here. Strokeland Records is a long over due project that I'm sure will continue to gift us with fine, handpicked fruit of the Funk.
