Musically, THE best thing ever to come out of Scotland. Massive catalogue of music and I have it all. Been a huge fan since 1975 when I was 16. Steve Ferrone replaced the original drummer who died of a drugs overdose. Unfortunately, Sax player Malcolm 'Molly' Duncan died earlier this year. The other Sax player, Roger Ball is live and kicking still.

What! Are you saying you didn't like The Bay City Rollers?

Hey Doc Rich, Please react to "Person to Person," "Cut The Cake," "Pick Up the Pieces," "Schoolboy Crush," "Cloudy (Live Version)," "If I Ever Lose This Heaven," "Queen of My Soul" and "Soul Searching" by the Average White Band (AWB)...You will not be disappointed!!!

[@earlsabir6338]

Yeah, react to all of the above.

[@jeffwall2082]

One of the greatest bands of that era.

[@m.doreenbigham-richardson2041]

My all-time favorite song by AWB "A Love of Your Own". You need to watch them live at the House of Blues

[@maryjsum]

Try Supertramp

[@snakeskate2000]

He was a replacement for the original drummer who died.

[@godisbollocks]

The band was celebrating being signed to Atlantic Records when the drummer accidentally OD'd.

[@GWard-hz5wj]

Real talent here. They tore the airways up when they 1st came out in the 70s. Pick up the Pieces was their 1st hit, very funky! Then their releases just got better & better. And what a shock when we found out they were from Scotland! Great review, thanks!

[@markwilkie3677]

@@markwilkie3677 Yes! We loved AWB & being from Scotland made it even better.Thanks for the comment!

[@deekaymusiclover2481]

The original drummer was Robbie Macintosh. He was considered the best session drummer of that time. He accidently OD'd at their signing party. Though Steve Ferrone was a great, great drummer as well.

[@crsounddoctor4937]

They are superb & way above average!!! These boys bring hot, spicy soul and they bring the funk!!!

[@alejandragalvan4436]

One of my favorites from AWB...but man, you didn't mention the bass!! That bass kept you moving in the grid of that funk. A bass player once described the bass is the track on which the train travels...it keeps that movement flowing...Hats off to this 'Average' White Band.

You should hear them live in concert at the House of Blues playing this. The Bass player on the left is now the main singer Alan Goree. Check it out

Bruuuhhhhh...I grew up on AWB, and they been cold af from the gate. Listen to Schoolboy Crush. I first heard it sometime around middle school age. I’m almost 55 and it’s STILL one of my all-time faves.

[@shaunkelly9860]

Deirdre, I was the only person among my friends who loved them.

[@deeknits]

@@shaunkelly9860 Damn, REALLY??? I would’ve been more hard-pressed to find somebody who DIDNT like AWB. They were on the radio, played at school dances, house parties, the skating rink, family reunions, bbqs...lol...they were floor-fillers for every occasion. Hopefully your friends’ musical tastes got better with time. 😊

[@shaunkelly9860]

@@deeknits Most of my friends were into rock - and nothing else. I played instruments even as a child, and listened to most music. I always liked rock, but was into soul and funk as well - i still am. In the UK most people only listen to one type of music and ignore everything else. My two favourite bands are Jethro Tull and Tower of Power, and you can't get much different than those two! My late wife was a massive fan of Funkadelic, Chaka Khan and Earth Wind and Fire, so at least my wife had taste! Lol

[@mr.wavymcgrady9075]

Sara Smile by Oates and Hall is another blue eyed soul song for ya

[@bikesndrums]

Did someone answer the drummer question - original drummer Robbie McIntosh - was Scottish and white - he died and Steve Ferrone originally from South Africa replaced Robbie. Both extremely funky and perfect for this band!

[@janiemarshall7928]

Thanks nephew. The culture, community, and the hood know ALL bout this ish, but the singers are white. The brother is the damn drummer 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤

[@onespeed4ever901]

I remember my mom and aunties rocking this back in the late 70s early 80s

[@jaygilllan7574]

They are from Scotland and I believe when they started that they were indeed all white. The black dude is the drummer. When they first hit it big on American radio it was on the black radio stations, they were really surprised when they first saw them on the television.

[@richardcogbill6791]

Check out them back in the day on Soul Train see youtube.

[@jvsmith7888]

The original Average White Band consisted of 5 white guys and 1 black guy, all hailing from Scotland. They had their first hit, Pick Up The Pieces, in 1974 and are still out there today. They're still popular in Europe.

[@horacemcgraw3224]

Actually the original band was all white but the original drummer, Robbie Macintosh allegedly died from an OD. He was replaced by a close friend, Steve Ferrone who is black.

Back in the 70’s great music was performed by REAL MUSICIANS! Groups like AWB, Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Chaka Khan and Rufus, WAR, and Santana made “Real” music.

[@jakebrown2721]

Yes you had to bring to play live all the bands from the 70's had their chops or you did not make to the big Venues the competition was that sharp but the best was the cream I'm 71 now but when I was a young man I wanted to to be the best which meant 4-6 hours a day working those Chops there was just to many great ones out there.

Pick up the pieces! What Tyni Said!! AWB. I don't know for sure, but honestly I think the name was just a little joke. "We're just your average white band". I don't know though, that's how I always took it. No matter if your white or not, putting out soulful funk like they did, it's kind of a fun name.

Not only NOT average, they're from Scotland! Dig into their catalog...

[@cheryljackson5659]

Average White Band is anything but average! They were a Scottish group who really brought the soul and funk to their music. The brotha was the drummer, btw. Most famous songs are "Pick Up the Pieces," "School Boy Crush" and "Cut the Cake," but this one was THE slow jam that you'd look for that special partner to dance with!

[@jkoff76]

The band were all white when they started out, top flight Scottish soul & funk musicians. But Robbie Mcintosh, the drummer past away. Right after the recording of their seminal album. AWB, he snorted a fatal combination of heroin and cocaine. So they had to find a replacement and English drummer, who was in LA to working with the band Bloodstone, sat in with them. He remained the drummer until the band broke up in 1982.

[@frankmangera2149]

They re-formed in 1989 with a few different people. They've been touring since the early 1990s up until covid shut things down. Alan Gorrie and Onnie Mcintyre are the two remaining original members. There's a UK/Euro tour planned for next year.

It's a band of mixed race partners. It's a blend, and a damned good one too.

[@jchapman4842]

This band Average Whitw Band (AWB) is from Scotland. The black man is Steve Ferrone, the drummer. He replaced the original drummer, Robbie McIntosh who passed away in 1974. So, initially all the members in the band were white dudes.

[@tianzi49]

this joint right here ... when this joint came on back in the day ... girls used to catch a serious attitude if you did not ask them to slow step to this ... I mean this girl I.ve been eyeballin' came right up to me and said "so you ain't gon' ask me to slow jam to this" ... all I could come back was "I was just about to".

[@SkammLykelee]

Yes, exactly. The black guy was a late addition. They were an all white band (from Scotland) until the drummer died. The black guy, Steve Ferone from England replaced him.

[@bartferguson8133]

The Black dude, Steve Ferrone is the drummer. the original drummer was a white dude who died of an overdose at Cher and Greg Allman's house after the first of their thirty + albums. Steve Ferrone had replaced him in his previous band, Brian Auger's Oblivion Express. Steve had played with the other members before, so he was the natural choice. He joined while recording the second album. Steve Ferrone is from Scotland, his father was a diplomat and his mother was from Africa. He is considered one of the best known Scottish Highland drummers.

The original AWB were 6 white guys from Scotland in the early 1970’s. They lost their original drummer from drug overdose (after the white album). The black guy replaced their lost member. They continued to soar through the 1980’s. Since then they’ve lost one of their sax players and only two original members remain. Original members Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyer (bass & lead guitar respectively) continue to “shine” (one of their albums). They are one of the best bands ever.
