"The music is a perfect blend of acid soul, mixed with hippie sentiments that will get you dancing on the uptempo numbers such as the title track 'This Is The Beginning,' 'Back Roads' (with its glorious harmonies) and the soaring 'Power'."

Sample the 'Hippie Funk' Band That Impressed Santana
Amidst the heydays of hippie culture in their hometown of San Francisco, Leon's Creation carved out a Sly & The Family Stone-influenced fusion of funk, rock, soul, and jazz. Their 1970 record 'This Is The Beginning' led Leon Patillo's band to open for bands like WAR and Rare Earth, while the frontman himself was hired to arrange music for artists like George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic, Leo Sayer, The Pointer Sisters, and Carlos Santana—the latter of whom even asked him to join his legendary band Santana as a lead vocalist.
