    Stuart Hamish on lead vocal has a very distinctive voice. The Average White Band certainly performed "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" with excellence.

    That jam on a vibe at the end has a clear Marvin Gaye influence. It sounds a lot like the album that has ‘what’s going on’ where the end of the songs fade into the next one with that sax and rolling crash cymbal

    AWB was one of the baddest most surprising funk bands of the 70's, because their song "Pick Up The Pieces" rocked black radio stations. We were all shocked to find out that they were White and from Scotland....Music like sports is interracial...if you could play.....you could play....the audio version of either "Pick Up The Pieces", "I'm The One", or "School Boy Crush" are definitely worth react to in that you really appreciate the quality of their funk....

  • @neosoul8958
    @neosoul8958 2 года назад +3

    AWB members are just a very good group of musicians. That's why their live sound is so good. This particular song was played very well, especially the drum work of Steve Ferrone. Each of the accents, fills accentuate where the song is at vocally and from the bassist. I'm a drummer and bassist, so I'm a bit biased! Just for information their studio version was on the Cut the Cake album I believe 1975 or 1974. The song was composed by the late Leon Ware and Pam Sawyer, for the Quincy Jones 1975 Body Heat album. Principle singers on it were, Minnie Riperton, Al Jarreau and Leon Ware. It was the original version.
    Peace to All !!!

    Hey Just Jammin', Please react to "Person to Person," "Cut The Cake," "Pick Up the Pieces," "Schoolboy Crush," "Cloudy (Live Version)," "Work to Do" and "Soul Searching" by the Average White Band (AWB)...You will not be disappointed!!!

  • @crsounddoctor4937
    @crsounddoctor4937 3 года назад +3

    Because Soul has no color, you either have it or you don't...The Average White Band's Soul & Funk was so real & evident back in the day (as it is still today, because they're still touring) that they were the first "white" group to ever play "Live" on Soul Train!!! If you don't believe me, just look up Steve Harvey talking about The Average White Band to the audience on Family Feud, it was either before a show or during a commercial break...You could google it or look it up on RUclips...And I rest my case!!!

  • @tuffguy007

    Really nice version. It loses a little sound quality over the studio version, but the performance and live vibe is really nice. I love the 'ad lib' jam at the end! These guys are BONE TIGHT and dripping with soul. Blue-eyed soul at it's finest for sure (and they are Scottish too).

    AWB is not the original. Quincy Jones is. But it became associated with AWB because they played it for years. That's why it's this good by the time they did a live recording.

    They set out to be a funk band from the get go. They never faked the funk. Also I don.t think any of them are american born.
    They covered funk Just like the Beatles and the Stones covered Black Rock and Roll.
