Rick has been singing since the age of four, and started his professional singing career as a teenager. Rick’s soulful vocals helped put the Bay Area band Tower of Power on the charts in the early 1970s, with such songs as Sparkling in the Sand and fan favorite You’re Still a Young Man.
After auditioning a number of great Bay Area musicians, the members of Rick’s new band will include these excellent artists: Julius Melendez, trumpet; Manny Melchor, tenor sax; Tony Abena, bari sax; Gabriel Del Rosario, bass; Johnny De la Cruz, guitar; Ace Olfre, keys, and Amado Tuazon, drums.
The inspiration for the name of the band… God is love and Rick came from the Tower of Power.
