Francis Rocco Prestia was the first, and current, bass player in "Tower of Power," the famed Oakland-based horn band.
His "pulsing" sixteenth notes along with David Garibaldi's incredibly funky drumming style formed the rhythm section that drove the band's trademark funky groove underneath the horn section on all of their early 1970s albums. He is a master of finger-style funk.
