    I hope all black people take this amazing music as a homage because that is exactly what it is. These guys had so much soul and wanted to just let it out and they clearly respected and were influenced by African American music. They killed it imo!

      Yes it was and being that I was born in 1959, I had a front row seat leading up to the 70’s, I had older sisters so I had to pretty much listen to the late 60’s music they would play, I was lucky to be at the right time😎

      @tonytrabort4939 Год назад +5

      You have every right to feel that proud. I'm a USA gent, and I put AWB into one of the top 5-10 funk bands of all time. I argue constantly with folks on=lne about how they took the Isley Brothers tune here and increased the tempo, upped the musicianship live, solos, vocals and made that funk hit even better as a cover than the Isley's original. I truely believe they gave that Motown hit much more life and feeling, which says a lot. AWB proves you don't need to be dark skinned to play funk or inject a blues/soul vibe. Bravo.

      @@tonytrabort4939 Work To Do is NOT a Motown hit! This song was on the T-Neck Label. Indeed, it doesn't sound like ANYTHING like the output from Motown.
      Another thing, the song sounds lively, etc. but NO WAY is the song better than the original Isley composition. The fact that it sounds good here is partly because of the great musicianship, and the absolutely original, creative chord progressions and melody from the Isleys, chiefly Ernie Isley, brother Marvin and Brother-In-Law Chris Jasper.

    • @davidwinn721
      @davidwinn721 Год назад

      @@fostermac7170 Appreciate you have a different point of view. But, my point wasn't that Isley Bros. were from Detroit or were in Berry's stable of bands or that Dick Clark or Don Cornelius referred to them as "Motown". No, no, no. Just that in some respects, the brotherly groove, if not funk, if not Stax/Memphis, if not Mr. Gordy's production, just ain't as a "get off your ass and dance" kind of rhythm. AWB changed the meter, the arrangement, the fills, etc. and you have musical magic. The Brothers may have written the tune, but it was a slug on the turntable. It was borrrring..... Isley's had far better product than Work. You may not be that familiar with their catalog.

    I am SO OLD, that I saw The AWB at the Troubadour in Los Angeles back in the 1970's 2 nights in a row. The Troub was not that big a club and it wasn't completely full either. It might have been on a weeknight. This was when they still had Robbie McIntosh the original drummer. He died shortly afterwards. They were great. I probably still have their first vinyl album in my collection

    I have loved AWB from the get-go back in the day. Super funky band that always charted their own course with a fresh, clean sound. The foundation of their sound is always that solid rhythm section (bass, guitar & drums), piled high with the tasty keyboard & sax work, and solid vocals. 'Soul' has no color. I even saw them perform live at the Hollywood Palladium. They did not disappoint!

    I am truly fortunate to have grown up in this era of REAL MUSIC……. Artist could sing and play instruments…...at the same time, mind you! REAL ARTIST! the Isley Bros. even complimented AWB on their version of this track. Take your pick…. I like em both. We also have to be grateful for the music behind them that certainly influenced AWB and their style. My Father was Military and most of my adolescence was in Europe so it was no surprise to me see this group take off. I actually hate when we’re surprised by an artist’s race based on their genre of music they're producing. An Artist is an Artist and leave it at that!
    AWB ‘got down’ and ‘brought it’ on everything they produced!!! I really miss these guys along with other artists from this era.

    Its great song by the ISLEY BROTHERS! AWB does this song complete justice....that's why we like AWB! Like AWB a lot, but I lovvvvvve the ISLEY BROTHERS...!!!! Good song to get up to in the morning. Set your alarms. HBOMAX"s "HACKS" with Jean Smart brought it back to my mind....LOVE Jean Smart in HACKS......! "taking care of business"....

    First album Show Your Hand was the best..saw them live several times on that release and they were extremely good live..the title track along with The Juggler, Twilight Zone, This World Has Music, Put It Where U Want It were stand outs..strike that..they were all good.
