Event ChatAverage White Band details
Lineup and details
Average White Band are widely
regarded as one of the best soul and funk bands in the history of
music. Though perhaps best known for their timeless instrumental
mega-hit 'Pick Up the Pieces' the band's strength actually lay in their
consistently accomplished song-writing, stretching across several gold
selling albums and multi- grammy nominations for the legendary Atlantic
Records. Somewhat incongruously, given their Scottish roots, the six
piece took the influences of their R&B heroes - people like Marvin
Gaye, James Brown, Donny Hathaway and others - and developed their own
'authentic' sound which was eagerly adopted by black audiences in the
US and elsewhere. Whilst a good number of cuts - 'Cut The Cake' and
'Let's Go 'Round Again' to name but two - attracted chart action as hit
singles, many other album tracks, like 'Schoolboy Crush' and 'Person to
Person' became much sampled and turn-tabled 'rare' grooves. Many more
tunes, such as 'Cloudy', 'A Love Of Your Own' and 'Nothing You Can Do'
- amongst many others- stand alongside some of the finest soul 'album
tracks' ever recorded.
