There was never a 5-member Tower of Power band. Emilio's original band, The Motowns, started small. As it grew and Emilio added horns, he changed the name to Tower of Power.

Here's the lineup from their first album, East Bay Grease, 1971:

Rufus Miller - lead vocals

Greg Adams - Trumpet and flugelhorn

Mic Gillette - lead trumpet and Trombone

Steve Kupka - baritone sax

Emilio Castillo - tenor sax

Skip Mesquite - lead tenor sax

Francis "Rocco" Prestia - bass

Willie Fulton - guitar

David Garibaldi - drums

In the 1972 album, Bump City, Rufus Miller was replaced as lead singer by Rick Stevens, and Brent Byars (congas) was added.

In the 1973 album, Tower of Power, Chester Thompson was added as a keyboardist, Rick Stevens was replaced by Lenny Williams, Willie Fulton was replaced by Bruce Conte, and Skip Mesquite was replaced by Lenny Pickett.
