I worked on the Matthews topic a few years ago, he insisted on tipping me, so I guess I have permanent COI. This some content that was pruned from the ToP artcle. I'd like to merge it in. I believe Matthews toured with the band last summer, I'll see if I can find an RS ref. I found a reference, there are also some playbills naming him if needed. 009o9Disclosure(Talk)10:13, 22 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Content presented would be more relevant for the Tower of Power article. Such a merger isn't necessary, except perhaps a brief mention of the involvement with the band (which should be there already?). As a reformatting isn't likely to happen due to the user's ban, this might remain closed for a long while. Regards, VB00 (talk) 15:57, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Matthews replaced Tower of Power drummer Russ McKinnon. Matthews is featured on the albums Souled Out (1995),[1] and Rhythm & Business (1997).[2] From the Rhythm & Business album, Matthews co-wrote the songs, "So I Got to Groove", "Rhythm and Business" and "Spank-A-Dang".[2] Matthews is the lead vocalist on the title track, "Rhythm and Business". "So I Got to Groove" is also featured on several tribute and greatest hits albums: What Is Hip?: The Tower of Power Anthology (1999),[3]Soul Vaccination: Tower Of Power Live (Europe 1999),[4]Soul with a Capital "S": The Best of Tower of Power (2002),[5] and 40th Anniversary (2010).[6]
On his departure, Matthews made way for David Garibaldi's return to Tower of Power in 1998. Matthews is still active with the band, he returned to sub for Garibaldi in 2015, while Garibaldi took time off for a hip replacement.[7]
