      Yes!! "Work to Do" by the Average White Band is my favorite by them. STUDIO VERSION off of their 1974 album "AWB", ONLY!! There's a live rendition being played by some reactors & it pales in comparison to the album version. Bests the Isley Brothers rendition by a country mile.

    James Brown said of AWB the best funk band I have ever heard. This song Is pure funk but you can in my opinion hear the influence of Barry White and Love Unlimited Orchestra and MFSB with the violins in the background complimenting the pure funk line

    Hi Harri, I was lucky to see The Average White Band live twice, they are amazing musicians, they are a Scottish band, from Dundee in Scotland. They had a great time in America, and let me tell you, they were amazing live. So I'm glad you enjoyed their music, super reaction Harri, take care. 👍

  • @paulwilson2651
    @paulwilson2651 2 года назад +3

    It has taken me to get to the age of 61 to appreciate this great sound. I was into Led Zep Pink, Floyd then on to Punk and New wave so never gave this kind of Funk a chance but wow it is really amazing and from a small city in Scotland, Dundee makes this Funk sound all the more remarkable.

    "According to Duncan, members of the band had played together before in Scotland, but had moved to London separately and met up by chance at a Traffic concert. They decided to jam together; a friend heard them and remarked: "This is too much for the average white man," which became adapted as the name of the band."

    I was a radio disk jockey when this song was released. It received almost no airplay in the States even though I loved it. I don’t remember them having any singles after this one. Their drummer, Steve Ferrone, seen in this video, went on to fame as the drummer for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

  • @realbser1956
    @realbser1956 2 года назад +2

    It probably sounded familiar because it’s got that typical 70’s disco beat and that’s not a bad thing. So it probably has the same beat of other songs from that era, but they definitely took it to another level. Pick Up the Pieces was their breakout song. More funk than disco. Great song Harri.

  • @rodneytaylor609
    @rodneytaylor609 2 года назад +2

    Their last hit in 1980, but I don't think it sold well in the states until later. According to Hamish Stuart it's one of their biggest hits. They were headed towards more mainstream, but Hamish wasn't down so he went his own way to work for Paul Macarthy. Alan wrote this song, it was brilliant.

  • @napoleonmadrid9320
    @napoleonmadrid9320 2 месяца назад

    Start from the beginning with “Show Your Hand”, then “You Got It”, “Cloudy”, “Why”, and “Nothing You Can Do.”
    The rest of that album is badass, but then they top it with the “Cut The Cake” Album. Then they get ridiculous with their live album followed by the “Soul Searching” album! Just incredible run of music by this fantastic group!

  • @alanmusicman3385
    @alanmusicman3385 2 года назад +1

    Have a go at "Cut the Cake" or "Cloudy" - AWB have done some superb stuff. "Pick up the Pieces" and this one were perhaps their biggest hits though.
    The sound on thsi video is the orginal record (though it fades out early) dubbed onto a live performance, you will have noticed that there are strings playing but no orchestra - not something that happened in 1980. That's also the reason for the shakey synch - especially in the hand clap bits! But this is the original hit - in all it's magnificence!

    Haven't heard this song in yearssss. I loved this song. I probably heard this on the "soul radio shows" . Not sure of the origins of their name, but it should be (Not Your) Average White Band. Don't know what label they were on, but this is on par with any Sound of Philadelphia / Gamble and Huff/ McFadden and Whitehead record. This is my favorite AWB song, but Pick Up the Pieces is their most known. But I love A Love of Your Own too..
