Nothing Average About this Band!!

[@nashboro1847]

Thank GOD I grew up in the 70's. AWB can take me away from the covid and deadly force.✌🏾🙏🏾😎

Here here brother, here here. Me as well.

[@mprevis]

Hallelujah 🤟🏻

[@Funkyluv]

AINT THAT A FACT, we actually had the best in music, music today can’t come close to it. Most of the time they’re sampling music of the 70’s and still can’t come close.✌🏾♥️✊🏾

Can you Tell me what are your favorite song . I m just discovering their music and am curious to know which one played the most.

[@essiejames9492]

I was 24 when this came out now at 71 Still jamming to AWB some bad bad A brothers

[@rstarjordan2599]

SOUL Train MUSIC awards should honor THESE cats in a legendary award they kills IT

[@SQTierHog]

Mid-70's, or so, I was about 13, I went to visit my brother in Berkeley Ca. He was maybe 16, when he took me for a walk late at night, and with the cassette player he held on his forearm, he says to me, "Hey kid, listen to this." He pops in the tape, and out came this music that I had never heard before! Damn, brings on the tears.

[@Funkyluv]

This was the time of true life feeling music the 70’s. Them was the days of musician they actually play their own music, not like today using computers. We got to listen to real musicians. Thank you, AWB.✌🏾♥️✊🏾

There are a lot of young people who don't know about the Average White Band. This needs more exposure. Only a 100 views, something just ant right.

WOW, "If I Ever Lose This Heaven", doesn't get any better than that, what a Great One!

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

They opened for Clapton at that awful “comeback” concert in 1973 at the Rainbow - and completely stole the show. Many of us bought their debut album the very next day.

[@jazzpunk]

...wishing there was a recording of that (I got the Rainbow Concert LP for Christmas in 1973).

We all got to die, but if Hamish goes before me, it will be one of the saddest days for me. I don't think there with never be a singer that has his timber.

I was in High school when they came out. We thought they were Black. I always Liked there music. Still do. That's real music 🎵🎶. That stuff today l can't understand it.

[@vaughnmiller4371]

Black folk were 90% of their support. The black community loved The Average White Band. They were the real deal. 🥰🥳

Not Average at all!

[@freddiejackson5320]

dont sound too white thats for sure

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

They must have thought up their name as a self-joke, 'cause they were anything but average!

[@ehzAxemuzik]

Hamish says the name came about from a white friend that was trekking around the bush by himself in some African country - the friend was nobody important, but rather an average bloke/guy!...thus the name AWB
