@@LunaJo67WDHTMJ Showed a young'en a video & was shocked when, with surprise in their voice they asked."They sang & played an instrument. - At the same time? Yes, they had something called 'Talent' a rare commodity in today music. & I don't recall artists like Stevie Wonder ever lip syncing to an over engineered recorded version of his songs in concert.
By the way… that drummer is Steve Ferrone…. The drummer who joined Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers after original drummer Stan Lynch left. Steve is currently touring with Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. Steve Ferrone is a well respected sessions drummer
I lived in Florida when they were big. We played their song, Cut the Cake at my wedding in Miami. Whenever I hear their music it takes me back to those happy days. Try Queen of my Soul.
Seve Ferrone is a legend: he also drummed with Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Michael Jackson, Rick James, Slash,Chaka Khan, The BeeGees, Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash
THE one song that every high school jazz band since 1977 has learned. Easy to adapt to any length, every instrument gets its time to shine, and not simple, but not too hard either. And it's just fun. Phil Collins did a 20 minute version of it, and the man is In The Pocket for every second of those 20 minutes.
I was in H.S. in the early 80's, and this was absolutely a crowd favorite from the jazz/pep band before basketball games or at halftime to entertain. We were in a small town, and didn't have any other entertainment acts at games, so the music was the star. Lots of good music back in the day!
This brings back great memories. My brother and I are jiving in the back seat , Dad driving, and Mom is trying to keep my sibling and I from fighting. Long instrumental songs like this kept everybody in a good mood. Best times of my childhood.
Aww yes requested this a long while ago...when they 1st came out I thought it was a black funk band and not only are they white but Scottish! Who knew Scotland had some funk in em! This was out in the early 70's ,I danced to this at clubs in NYC and lo and behold the band was there themselves one night!!! Super exciting!
I seem to remeber seeing AWB on Soul Train at least once. This was part of the funk scene in the 70's. Everybody liked this. IIRC it was around thebsame time as the Philadelphia sound with Mother, Father, Sister, Brother and the Three Degrees. "I didn't expect these guys to have a black drummer". Seriously?
The Above Average Black Band (Also known as AABB) was a name that James Brown's Band, The JB's released the single "Pick up The Pieces ( One By One)" under. The Song was released in 1975 and was a tribute to and tongue -in - cheek reply to the Scottish funk group, The Average White Band (Also Known as AWB) and it's #1 hit single "Pick up The Pieces". Listen to their version of the same song.
When I was 16 back in 1975, I spent the summer with my cousin in Arizona. We went to an average white band concert. Charlie Daniels band opened for them, never heard of them at that time, but loved it. AWB came on finally and were so drunk they couldn't finish the first song, so we left. Sad beginning of the end for them
FRANKIE SMITH - " Double Dutch Bus " 80's R&B/FUNK CLASSICS this Jam is Groovin' from start to finish. Great Vocals and Background Vocalists. From 1981
Ah, saw them at Jazz Cafe in London, Angus returned that night. Fantastic group, great sounds and what a night. One guy saw the poster, his kids were expecting him to take them to McDonalds, he told them he'd do it another night - saw him right at the front later on and his eyes were shining with joy!
Dad had this album; I remember being a kid thinking uh oh, that’s a woman’s butt on the cover! 😂. The important thing is that I was raised with good music ❤❤❤ 40 years later I watched them open for the Doobie Brothers 😊
One you may want to check out is a Soul Band from Ireland called The Commitments. The group was formed to make a movie of the same name. The Commitments. I think they may still tour.
Ah, memories. This band played at my old prep school mate's university graduation dance back in 1974. We four who were roomies 11 years earlier all re-united for this Cambridge event and thoroughly enjoyed - and got a bit tipsy and very baconed - to this band's great sounds.
This was created in 1974. I graduated from high school that year. It was a very talented band as you can see. This beat was great for dancing. The Bump was great for this beat. Two people would swing their hips out and then bump them together. It was a very talented lead in to the era known as “Disco”. Sadly the era fell into canned music with no live band just singers and an unseen background music to sing to. It was all about dancing and nothing else. I fell out of love with it within a year of its arrival. Unfortunately for me the craze lasted for several years and I got real bored real quick with it. No band just Gloria Gaynor or whoever singing their heart out to the same background music over and over again. But this band was great! It was a really great band that played really great music. It’s not rock and roll but it’s really good music. It’s kinda like the Pied Piper that led all of the mice out of town. This led us away from rock music in a way. We forgot about rock and roll music for a while and then when we went back to it we had forgotten what made rock and roll music so good. There was no longer any war. Racism had gone away in the 60s and 70s . The latter part of the 70s was a period where there was some actual love, peace and a little bit of tranquility taking place between the races. Rock and roll no longer had any enemies to speak out against. It grew kind of lame if you ask me. I had a brand new baby in 1980. I dropped out of listening to rock and roll for a while in the 80s until the switch got turned back on when I was listening to a classic rock station and some dj put on “Look at Little Sister” by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Uh oh! Who in the Hell was that?!!! I’m ripping off my headphones and putting them on my coworker’s head and begging to know who that was. I never heard him before! I had never heard OF him before! How could this be? That day after work you can bet your bippy I had me a brand new Stevie Ray Vaughan album “In Step” and I played the living daylights out of it! In less than 6 months I had every album he had put out and hungry for more. Finally, someone who could really play rock and roll music with the same passion and soul that it really required was making the music that I craved so much. Then Jeff Beck threw down his ratchet wrench and picked his guitar back up and he wound up recording “Guitar Shop” which was an AWESOME album full of excellent music, and he advertised it by touring with none other than Stevie Ray Vaughan and I didn’t get to go to it.😪😭🤬🤯🥵😭😭😭😢! Words cannot express my regret for missing that concert? How on EARTH was I supposed to know that SRV would be dead in 1990? I was a Stevie Ray JUNKIE by then. At work they had to draw straws to figure out who was going to tell me that he had died because I didn’t know about it. That one hurts so bad to this very day. Well this book is getting too long. I’m sorry. I kind of express myself too much. Have a wonderful day BP!😊
The kilt should give a hint to to their origins. They were much bigger in the US than in the UK. Candy Duffer did a really good cover version of Pick up the Pieces that's worth checking out.
This is from a time when you either heard it on the radio when they played it, saw them on a TV show live, or had a friend you saw in the flesh tell you about it. No VHS back then.
Took us ONE CHORD to hit the dancefloor with these funky masters back in the day!! And you'd stay there for as long as they wanted to play (yes, I was one of the lucky ones who saw them live multiple times!!). 🔥🔥🔥
In the late 70's and you walked into a party there was a good chance this was playing. It makes crave a cool long neck Miller and start looking around place.
Allegedly, someone heard a member of the crowd say of their music that it was “ to much for the average white man” and they had the light bulb moment and called themselves Average white band.
LOVE - LOVE - LOVE this song - The Average White Band!! 💛 💛 💛 💛 There's quite a few instrumental songs by various bands that are so good. You're right about getting work done around the house tho, this I definitely one of those songs, haha! I mostly heard it in and around my car. Haha. High school also played it at events and pep rallies too.
I got a chance to meet these guys after a show in Connecticut in the early 90s. My girlfriend at the time knew them through one of her girlfriends. We were at a restaurant just relaxing and shooting the breeze. Funny, cool and just a blast. Loved them since I was a kid back in the 70s. So damn tight and funky. The baseline in this one absolutely kicks.
Work to Do which was the flipside of Pick Up the Pieces is also good-became a minor hit. Pick Up The Pieces was the first instrumental disco hit-Fall 1974.
Just got off of a long days work. I happen to watch your reaction on the way home. I’m sitting out here. I’ve had my lettuce and I’m gonna jam out to it again.
I just saw them a couple months ago at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. They sold out the place three nights in a row. I saw the Sunday night show, they still bring the Funk, it was such a fun night.
The drummer Steve Ferrone is fantastic drummer. He’s played with Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson, Steve Perry, Rick James, Johnny Cash, and the BeeGees just to name a few. I wonder if Onnie McIntyre is regimental when he wears his kilt. 😊 🤷♀️
Your thumbnail shows the original band which played in a club in Pensacola when they were just getting known. We danced to their music all night long! Great band!
Ok, Pegasus. You are now ready for some dessert. So CUT THE CAKE and fill your ears and dirty mind with a really great jam. A LOVE OF YOUR OWN, IF I EVER LOSE THIS HEAVEN and their cover of HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE are stellar. Yoy seem to forget, we have been listening to this music from way back in the 2oth century for years. But we're glad you are enjoying it. Keep going and enjoy
Dude We were so luck in the 1960's/1970's that there was so much music that came out weekly......R&B,Top 40,of course my Rock & Roll...All of it was good.
I saw AWB years ago with Huey Lewis and the News and Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble. Each one was good, but at the end they all came out and jammed. It was great. But this was the best version of Pick up the pieces that I've heard. 😁
Look at you, checkin out AWB! We would Step big time to their music. Stepping is a dance two people do together originated in Chicago. Popular songs: A love of your Own School Boy Crush If I Ever Lose this Heaven Queen of My Soul 😊
Steve Ferrone, the drummer is British. He went on to play with Tom Petty. The other dudes are from Scotland and formed in London. Rare for an instrumental to hit #1 on the charts. 1971 or 72. They had many singles on the charts including Isley Brothers cover.
You are funny, I saw them in September 2022, they were in a line up at a Jazz getaway and they performed!!! It was so much fun, did a few of their other hits!! They are still performing, you should check them out when on tour!
Their song “Cut the Cake” is daaaamn funky. And perhaps a bit suggestive. I wonder if they had to pick up the pieces precisely because they cut the cake…?!
I was 20 when this hit. It was pretty popular. I listened to soul, r & b, disco, rock at the time (early mid 70s). I always thought they sounded really 'white'. still do, but hey, they still around so......
I am 59 and remember this song well. Never knew they were Scottish and never saw them in a photo, let alone a video 😂. I dig some Funk, and was binging RUclips last night when I watched Rufus Thomas and Chaka Khan’s Tell Me Something Good. I always loved this, and live close enough to Memphis to remember them, and then just Rufus doing the noon news talk show portion many times. What a great location to grow up in!

who knew?
Cool! 😎
Oh shit, so basically musical version of Improv performances... doooope
How many bands sound this good LIVE? No autotune, no computers. This is talent and so great to hear again.
And they did so lil😢😢
Lots of bands at that time sounded good! When people actually learned to play an instrument or learned how to sing.... LJ

Every Southern Rock Band, most Bands and singers from the 70's.
We were spoiled in the 70's and 80's. I'm not the first nor the last person to ever say that.
Indeed!
No question about it!
But of COURSE this was them 70s BABY
By the way… that drummer is Steve Ferrone…. The drummer who joined Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers after original drummer Stan Lynch left. Steve is currently touring with Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. Steve Ferrone is a well respected sessions drummer
And another great cover of this song is one by Candy Dulfer… an outstanding sax player
The very first Superman. The Bar/restaurant scene just before "Clark Kent" turns into Superman.🔵🔴🔵
Cut The Cake, is probably their second best well-known song. Great Scottish Band from the 70's.
And "Work to Do"
Cut the Cake is on my driving list!
But are they as good as The Bay City Rollers? 😂😂
That instrumental bridge has been used in sportscasts, radio show breaks, and TV shows for decades
Absolutely! 💯
Play that funky music Average White Band!
I lived in Florida when they were big. We played their song, Cut the Cake at my wedding in Miami.
Whenever I hear their music it takes me back to those happy days. Try Queen of my Soul.
I haven't heard this in ages, thanks!
Why? the white album is legendary.
This is a Band from Scotland. They are as Funky as Funky gets. They were really hot back in the early 1970s.
Seve Ferrone is a legend: he also drummed with Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Michael Jackson, Rick James, Slash,Chaka Khan, The BeeGees, Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash

Dancin on roller skates in short shorts and a tube top!....Hello..from 1974!
I remember this!
AWB were big back in the day... Thanks BP
🔥Smoke on the WATER By the Rock band Deep Purple live 1972 will rock YOUR EARS OFF They where HUUUUUUGE in the 70s B,P Enjoy 70s ROCK🔥 to the max
Funky, as always, Oh Yeah
The FM simulcasts were awesome back in the day!!! You would turn the volume down on the TV set and crank up your home stereo system!!!
They were a great band in the day. And even today still gets my feet moving
This track is in Superman 2 both in the restaurant and the Alaska diner.
most funky band from scotland
All the B-boys used to break to this at the jams/cyphers!!! Was always lit!!
Them white boys play that funky music pretty good!
I applaud any group w/ a great brass section!
Saxophones are woodwinds, not brass.
A great Scottish Band ‘A Love of Your Own’ is a great track live more vocals!
Yeah, a great suggestion! This song was their signature song And first hit I believe But your suggestion is the one I would really go with!
The very first Superman. The Bar/restaurant scene just before "Clark Kent" turns into Superman.🔵🔴🔵

Impossible to listen to this and not feel something....gets the feet tapping, the shoulders swaying,and the head bopping......great musicians
Love AWB. This brings me back to my childhood. Favorites are A Love of Your Own and Queen of My Soul. Really enjoying your reactions.
I had the AWB album on 8 track back in '74-75. Loved it!
Much respect Black Pegasus..getting into the white jams,
Funk personified.
When I was 16 back in 1975, I spent the summer with my cousin in Arizona. We went to an average white band concert.

This was a standard in my funk sets as a DJ - the horns!!
FRANKIE SMITH - " Double Dutch Bus " 80's R&B/FUNK CLASSICS this Jam is Groovin' from start to finish. Great Vocals and Background Vocalists. From 1981
They are Scottish so sarcastic is absolutely right.
When this comes on the radio its a CRANK it up tune!!!
This was my junior high dance music. We had music, Brother!
Ah, saw them at Jazz Cafe in London, Angus returned that night. Fantastic group, great sounds and what a night. One guy saw the poster, his kids were expecting him to take them to McDonalds, he told them he'd do it another night - saw him right at the front later on and his eyes were shining with joy!

One you may want to check out is a Soul Band from Ireland called The Commitments.

Shouldn't really mention them in the
same breath as AWB........

Practiced many dance moves to this album. 🕺 💃
A love of your own, is a must listen you can't go wrong with AWB.
Like a fine Wine.... better with age.

There's quite a few instrumental songs by various bands that are so good. You're right about getting work done around the house tho, this I definitely one of those songs, haha! I mostly heard it in and around my car. Haha. High school also played it at events and pep rallies too.
omg not heard this in a while, was a huge disco hit in the 70s. was so lucky to of been a teen in these days, best time ever, ❤❤❤
Living proof that funk don't discriminate!🤘Lifelong AWB fan right here!
Love these guys Queen of my soul/let's go round again two more greats
"Schoolboy Crush" one of the most sampled cuts ever...the FUNK is the deepest.
Radio staple!! These guys were awesome 😎!!
There is a female sax player, Candy Dulfer that does a cover of Pick Up the Piece’s and she tears it up. If I remember it is on the album Sax a Go-Go
This was so much fun 😂 Average White guys...sound like brothers..love it. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
It always reminds me of this: Starsky and Hutch Main Theme
The track was also used in the Iron man 2 movie in a scene where Sam Rockwell danced to it coming on stage
My first concert! 1976 at the Paramount Theatre in Portland. The album jacket is iconic.
Lets go round again! Tune!!❤
I got a chance to meet these guys after a show in Connecticut in the early 90s. My girlfriend at the time knew them through one of her girlfriends. We were at a restaurant just relaxing and shooting the breeze. Funny, cool and just a blast. Loved them since I was a kid back in the 70s. So damn tight and funky. The baseline in this one absolutely kicks.
I’ve always loved this song
Work to Do which was the flipside of Pick Up the Pieces is also good-became a minor hit. Pick Up The Pieces was the first instrumental disco hit-Fall 1974.
Just got off of a long days work. I happen to watch your reaction on the way home. I’m sitting out here. I’ve had my lettuce and I’m gonna jam out to it again.
I just saw them a couple months ago at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. They sold out the place three nights in a row. I saw the Sunday night show, they still bring the Funk, it was such a fun night.
Killer version of the Isleys' "Work to Do"! Hamish Stuart also played with Paul McCartney in his backing band.
AWB - School boy crush. Absolute must
James Brown vibes all the way
Indeed used to think Maceo Parker was on saxophone.
I heard of this song on a radio station me and my sister weren’t even born yet but it’s a good song 👍
Scottish Funk and R&B!!!
The drummer Steve Ferrone is fantastic drummer. He’s played with Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson, Steve Perry, Rick James, Johnny Cash, and the BeeGees just to name a few.
I wonder if Onnie McIntyre is regimental when he wears his kilt. 😊 🤷♀️
They used to played at the Savoy dancehall in Glasgow before they were famous everybody there knew they would be big great band.
Your thumbnail shows the original band which played in a club in Pensacola when they were just getting known. We danced to their music all night long! Great band!
Ok, Pegasus.
You are now ready for some dessert. So CUT THE CAKE and fill your ears and dirty mind with a really great jam.
A LOVE OF YOUR OWN,
IF I EVER LOSE THIS HEAVEN and their cover of HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE are stellar.
Yoy seem to forget, we have been listening to this music from way back in the 2oth century for years. But we're glad you are enjoying it.
Keep going and enjoy
I also love Schoolboy Crush and that funky bass!
I just love when you cant hold it in and CHAIR DANCE!!!!!!
top quality musicians...... for a more vocal song try their later hit....Lets Go Round Again
Tune
Whenever I hear this song, it always reminds me of Hustle Man playing this song on a kazoo on the Martin show. 😂
Saw them at the Tower Theater in Philly in the early 70's, with Poco. Great band!
saw these guys live in Nottingham around 75/76. Absolutely brilliant back then. I've still got the vinyl album this is on.
The Sax man... love that sound!!!
Dude
We were so luck in the 1960's/1970's that there was so much music that came out weekly......R&B,Top 40,of course my Rock & Roll...All of it was good.
Let's Go Round Again and Work To Do are 2 of my all time favorite songs ❤
Your a great picker - know your stuff. Seriously PEGASUS enjoy so much 😮😎🎼🎵🎹
I saw AWB years ago with Huey Lewis and the News and Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble. Each one was good, but at the end they all came out and jammed. It was great. But this was the best version of Pick up the pieces that I've heard. 😁
I remember dancing to this song at the disco!!! 💃 🕺
This band charted several times during the ‘70’s on both the pop and R&B charts… which is crazy for guys from Scotland.
Look at you, checkin out AWB! We would Step big time to their music. Stepping is a dance two people do together originated in Chicago.
Popular songs:
A love of your Own

Cant believe this only went to #10 on the billboard charts! Its becuz we had so much great music!!🎉🎉🎉
Their song “Cut the Cake” is daaaamn funky. And perhaps a bit suggestive. I wonder if they had to pick up the pieces precisely because they cut the cake…?!
I was 20 when this hit. It was pretty popular. I listened to soul, r & b, disco, rock at the time (early mid 70s). I always thought they sounded really 'white'. still do, but hey, they still around so......
Love those intros he did of the band members!!
Cris Rock used snippets of this in his special Bigger and Blacker when he was interviewing Monica Lewinski
I am 59 and remember this song well. Never knew they were Scottish and never saw them in a photo, let alone a video 😂.

you heard the music from this in Ironman 2 when Hammer is coming on stage acting like a dork.
