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 Жыл бұрын
@@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 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.

We totally agree with your point, Duncan. But your observations are "blasphemy" in today's cultures in the B-I as well as here in the United Socialist and Racist States of America.....LMAO. See the dialog above. A certain segment of the population (Can you say Black?) is very aggrieved if one insinuates that AWB brought an incredible degree of soul and funk to the music scene decades ago. Listen to the original Isley Brothers' rendition and note the bland, bubble-gum, musically neutered treatment of Work, and then listen to AWB at the top of their game as here. No comparison. AWB delivered more soul, funk and swagger than the Isley Bro's on acetate. Frankly, the Hamish era in Wings was probably the best configuration of Paul's supporting band, he and Robbie.

Any "soul" who understands music and lived through that era, and I did on both counts, knows that AWB produced the cover that woke up the listening public to "Work". It was a small audience that even knew of the Isleys, and their original was short on soul, funk, and tempo. Bland fits the Isley's tune.....we're not saying the Isley's didn't have soul. They had a big catalog back then, and some of their material was classic MoTown. But AWB's Work was more up-tempo, guitar solo was great, and lead vocal dripped with soul.

@@tonytrabort4939 what are we debating over?..your rationale to assert and malign a particular political view of a certain group(black) just because you have a certain opinion about them?..have you actually spoken with all of them in amerikkka to actually form a cogent rationale for your pov? ..we can talk about this particular piece of music and i certainly can give you my opinion, which i did already..but your first articulation was to insert an opinion about a group(black) - and you failed to give any supportable evidence/cogent rational!..you are not the only person that lived through that era and experienced the music, funk, soul and tempo!. ..i don't know what size the audience was for the Isley's had at that time, but certainly larger than AWB because of crossover appeal..again, without inserting one's political rational, cover songs are a matter of one's personal opinion..for example, Chaka Khan's cover of Hamish's, "What You Gonna Do For Me"...both are solid, but Chaka's version(my opinion) takes it to another level and actually put that song on the map!..and the same can be said of what the Beatles did for the Isley's, "Twist & Shout"!

@@ehzAxemuzik I'm not debating politics....I'm getting in on the dialog regarding the music of that era as well as musical groups. I play a bit or did, so I know a little about the music as well as the players. Forget the politics.....Isley's just didn't have the strong version of this track....that's all I'm suggesting...lol. Others obviously agree with me, not you.

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.

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"....
