Often implementing a soul-slanted audio, Hytower trim 45s for Avin, Expo, Brainstorm, and Mercury’s Blue Rock and roll subsidiary (where he sang the great “I’m ON YOUR SIDE” and “Undertaker” in 1969). Hytower’s 1988 recording Main Doctor (along with his band, Theme) was released on Diamond Jewel Information. He still performs locally.
