This what happens when a group of friends in Dundee, Scotland, got together in the late 60's! I'm so glad someone had the sense to react to one of the classiest acts on the planet!!

[@daubreyjaneweirdsley]

What happened was sampling, autotune and hip hop, where learning your craft as a musician was no longer a prerequisite. Why spend time learning to master an instrument when you can steal and sample proper musician's work on a cheap computer in your bedroom? I'm always amazed when I watch other reaction sites and the reactor is surprised when they realize music from the 60's/70's/80's was made by musicians and not sampled. Often these reactors are familiar with a bass line or melody only to discover that what they are hearing has been stolen/sampled from an existing song played by real musicians. Love your site by the way. A young articulate, aspirant musician willing to listen without prejudice, who understands the craft/skill and construction of music and the musicians who make it. Bravo Wilburn.

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Spot-On!!!

[@williamlucas4656]

Additionally true musicians had to make their bones working on the road, doing gigs everywhere, pleasing different kinds of audiences. For the most part that is no longer true. For rock and pop musicianship is an all but dead art. Only Nashville carries on as it slowly morphs into a kind of rock ‘n’ roll.

[@pastense]

Please don’t dismiss the art of sampling especially when you don’t know what you’re talking about (look up J. Dilla). The greatest jazz musicians have been “sampling” since its inception. All forms of music has been inspired and borrowed from in one form or another. Computers and samplers are tools that are only as good as the musicians using them.

[@pastense]

@Dave Madigan alright smart guy...give me an example where sampling has taken “an entire number”? Better yet, name me an artist who has reacted negatively towards someone sampling their work? I’ll wait...

[@pastense]

@Dave Madigan no...obviously I’m not gonna waste my time with someone who doesn’t know music or the industry...bye

[@marymarin3277]

I was blessed being 18 in 79 ..so I grew up with the 70's and 80's music in my young adult life! We didn't realize at the time how precious and unique the music was. We were living it!♥️😁 Thank you for your wonderful reactions!👍👏♥️

[@zztij]

I'm right there with you sister..! I was 21 in 79 growing up in Oakland and there was so much Music in the Bay Area every weekend..!! One night you would see Sammy Hagar and the next you would see Tower of Power or Santana or Pat Travers or War... So many local band we would see playing in our local bars like Eddie Money... And your right that we didn't realized how short and precious that time was..!!!

[@marymarin3277]

Yes! Now their our precious memories! I feel sad for the young generation now 😥

[@gypsylotusblossom777]

Mary you are SOOOO right we honestly didn't know how precious our music was and would be. We were to busy living it living the Funk!!!!✌👍👉💯😍🤩

[@lynnhoffman247]

Technology happened...back then musicians & singers had to have talent.

[@brodocbetty4856]

Raw and real talent.

[@eddielane9569]

Amen. Now they sweeten it up.

[@ronmartin3755]

You are right on! Sadly today's talent just doesn't have to be really talented because of technology! I can't sing at all but with an echo chamber and technology, I can sound like a Phil Collins!

[@douglasgonzalez7561]

Love the comment: “Soul ain’t got no color.” I completely agree Music is a UNIVERSAL language. I saw a video recently of a band that was driving down a country road. They were passing by a group of cows in a field and they stopped and set up a band and started playing music. The cows stopped grazing, and slowly started moving forward towards the band. They congregated in a group, facing the band and enjoyed the concert. I can’t begin to tell you the feelings that rose inside of me seeing this. Music is TRULY UNIVERSAL!

[@gypsylotusblossom777]

You ain't never lied!!!!SOOOO True!

[@rickyford9586]

They were baaad but never got there due.

[@FUBAR1986]

My mother-in-law raised cockatoos and when they would get too noisy I would either hum or whistle they would get so quiet you could hear a pin drop……

[@johnhunter2294]

Anthropologists believe that music is hardwired in the human brain; they believe this because every known human culture makes some type of music. Even tribes in the deep Amazon that have never had contact with other cultures make music. We enjoy music because we are, quite literally, wired that way.

[@peterstoltman8383]

If you dig this you MUST get hip to Tower of Power. Down to the Nightclub, What Is Hip, So Very Hard to Go. Lots of good live versions as well as the original recordings. The bass player Rocco Prestia recently passed but he inspired a whole generation of funk bass players. As a drummer David Garibaldi along with Zigaboo Modeliste (the Meters) set the bar for funk drumming.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Speaking of The Meters...they rule!

[@danielolson5378]

You can never ever go wrong with TOP!!! My biggest heroes!!

[@talltulip]

Yes, Tower of Power please!! You're Still aYoung Man, So Very Hard To Go, This Time It's Real, Down To the Nightclub, Squib Cakes, What Is Hip.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

The Meters are awesome no doubt -- but it's difficult to mention pioneers of funk drumming without mentioning Clyde Stubblefield. No disrespect to Rocco Prestia.

[@mickeyhank]

They had one called “Cut the Cake“ too! Pretty similar, next best. You’re taking me back to high school, bro. This entire crowd should be dancing!

[@Kassiusday]

Crowd cannot dance : They don’t have the groove to move their body very weird that they even appreciate such syncopic music ; ( of African roots origin anyway !!!!!! )

[@scottmcgregor562]

Let's not forget about Schoolboy Crush, Work to Do, and Person to Person.

[@LilFisch1174]

So much fun watching a younger person discover a group from my era. Best era of music ever! We had everything from funk to disco to southern rock and everything in between.

[@eggboundanddown9851]

[@CarlaThomas-u6j]

The 60’s, 70’s and 80’s were the best generation of music!! Folks can really play instruments and they could sing and didn’t have to use sex to sell music. I was a teenager(14) when this song came out and was a monster hit!!! I’m so glad to have been born in this era where I got to experience the very best in music, singing and fantastic and awesome bands. I’m 60 now and I loved this era and wouldn’t have it any other way!!!❤️

[@phyllisdavies1248]

I was a blessed teenager in the swinging sixties, and partied my way through the raging seventies. I didn't realise it at the time, but looking back, can see how they were the two decades of THE BEST music that has ever been. I'm so thankful to have lived in that era!

[@mickeyhank]

“This is like finding a dinosaur bone. What happened?” I feel you brother. You are an old soul, you should’ve been a drummer back then. Hope you’re also OK with your ‘fro being bigger. 😉

[@nancy9478]

The 70s. When we did not throw labels or limits on our music or each other. My teens were the best, because we loved and danced and enjoyed life.

[@tjsogmc]

brother, you were born in your time. Be the drummer you are now. Find friends who love music the way you do. That was the magic of the 70's. Maybe the kick in the ass that modern music needs is YOU.

[@antarcticorb9197]

I'm the guy that recommended robin Trower Caledonia to you... here's the next one AWBs Schoolboy Crush. Looking forward to your reaction!

[@womanonthinice1276]

Lololol....soul is from the soul... Back in the 70s, I remember loving the music. We had album covers to show us who was singing. We didn't have videos. I don't recall us getting to see bands and singers when they came on the Mid Night Special. American Top 40 on Saturday mornings. Radio jockey Casey Kasem gave us the the history and details of the band, singers and songs. I was the finest memories I have of the 70s.

[@bennemer489]

I think the big difference between then and now is the musicians then, worked and worked to get where they were. Seems like now, anyone can record their own stuff and upload it, and get a million likes only YT. Excluding the current lockdown, fewer and fewer bars have live music, regardless of genre, and there's no place for young musicians to practice in front of an audience and get better at what they do, and sometimes fail. One lesson I've learned in life is, the hardest thing in the world, is to make something seem simple and easy to do.

[@balloonfarm5903]

In the mid 60’s England and Scotland were drawn to American soul and r&b. Especially lesser known artists like from Detroit. Mods danced 💃 to what they called northern soul in clubs , so it wasn’t too surprising when a group of Scott’s tried their hand at soul and funk and modestly called themselves the Average White Band and exported it back to the US in the 70’s. 😎✌🏽☮️🎸

[@richdome1]

Saw them live in NYC club Barney Googles mid 73/74! Rock til you drop!

[@karenj3611]

I had this album back in the 70s. Played the heck out of it. Great stuff

[@stardust164]

live music at it's best. real talent, that's what is missing today. I feel blessed to have been born 1957, the sixties and seventies had so much, I think today it's more about fame and money not quality and soul. ROCK!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Love what you said Wilburn, very true what you said. I was born in 1960 & ofcourse The Beatles, but Average White Band certainly are unique too. They certainly have their own style which I love. Enjoyed Pick Up The Pieces, know it well, just brilliant!!!! xx

[@stevehessle1959]

Saw them in 77 as an 18 year old at Leeds Uni. Been a huge fan ever since. Massive back collection to check out.

[@edwardcave1947]

I remember Smooth Jazz, Detroit a DJ said he’s been playing this for over three months and just realized their isn’t a brother in the whole band. I laughed for five minutes because I knew they were from Scotland.

[@theodoredemarest4904]

Oh my..... back to that wonderful time when musicians actually played instruments! Gosh.... I miss the 70’s. This is a gem!

[@jasonrussell5613]

More talent on that stage than todays top 40 songs combined

[@badgastein2]

Bless You…..you are right about the quality of music in the 60s 70s and 80s being the best….white boys Level4 2 ‘Eyes Waterfalling’ is a good one for some Jazz Funk, Spyro Gyra ‘Morning Dance’, Heatwave ‘Boogie Nights’ and so on….

[@jamesconn9788]

This is a Scottish outfit from Bonnie Dundee in Scotland consisting mainly of Onie McIntyre, Hamish Stuart, Alan Gorrie and their original drummer (a Scot) died and was replaced by Steve Ferrone. Their original brass section were known as the Dundee Horns. I suspect they were originally known as FBI.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

LOVE Average White Band, they caught you out eh?? I was a teenager in the 70's & enjoyed them as many other bands in that era - FABULOUS!!!!!! xx

[@827dusty]

In my early 20s, I remember these guys playing Funk. Curtis Mayfield was big at that time as well. Funk was Big in the early 70s. Great memories. Thanks

[@michaelkeefe8494]

Curtis was the boss... Check out anything off of Superfly.

[@bartferguson8133]

The whole Montreux '77 show is great. The Average White Band has had steady output of new music for almost 50 years. Their last album last year is amazing. Check out 1973 "Put It Where You Want It" video.

[@ronmartin3755]

I appreciate a black man saying white people have soul. Thank you Wilburn.

[@yournamehere6002]

Lotta great stuff from the 90's. Check out The James Taylor Quartet, The Brand New Heavies, Ivy, The Cardigans, Jellyfish, Jamiroqui....

[@nickcolletta9140]

Being sixty-two and growing up in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s we did not have phones, video games or computers but we did have music. I don’t want to offend young people today but we worked harder back in the day. No distractions just work. I think that is the answer to your question.

[@rickyruiz5653]

Wow always loved AWB and loved what you said soul has no color just people playing great music. Great reaction my man.

[@brodocbetty4856]

Can tell they were big James Brown fans.

[@carollittle1059]

Damn! This track rocked the dance clubs then and now.

[@bartferguson8133]

You should check out AWB tunes with their great vocals...School Boy Crush, Cut The Cake, TLC, Cloudy or Of I Ever Lose This Heaven.

[@wayne1074]

I just joined your reaction platform and I enjoy it very much. The choice of songs is wonderful and your analysis of "Pick Up The Pieces" is spot on. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and love the music of my generation because of the talent of the artists then. You are right something happened in the 90's that found music without much talent because technology replaced raw unadulterated talent. Many of the musicians and singers back then were either self-taught or had excellent backgrounds in old-school training that stressed the importance of learning the instruments thoroughly. I can remember my music instructors taught the importance of the basics like timing, developing your ear, learning basic melodies off the top of your head, building harmonies, applying basic theory, improvising from scratch, etc. If we would go back to the basics and emphasize them, I think we would see a resurgence of raw talent and better songs. Thank you for choosing great songs to analyze.

[@brynneholt1990]

90s had Mint Condition, a proper band.

[@bearballin]

True... The 90s also produced a Southern funk band called DAG. Sweet Little Lass and Lovely Jane were a couple of their killer jams! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmSZeIWXmM95pa8

I Really enjoyed this reaction and your questions. Happy you are keeping this music alive. I have always told my children how lucky we were to get ALL the genres of music and ALL high quality musicians and singers!!! We were truly blessed. True soul doesn't care about your skin color...

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hi Chod, great reaction to "Pick-Up The Pieces!!!" I'm a recent subscriber and I kindly ask you to please consider doing these other reactions to the Average White Band: (AWB): "A Love Of Your Own", "Cut The Cake," "School Boy Crush," "Work To Do," "Person To Person," "Cloudy (Live Version: 6:36)," "If I Ever Lose This Heaven," "Queen Of My Soul," "I'm The One" and "Soul Searching." I don't think they got enough credit for all of the great music they made back in the day and they are still touring today!!! Hats-Off to AWB!!! These are some funky brothers from Scotland and they came up with their name as part of a joke, but we who are familiar with them all know that they are way above average!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenord3403]

Saw the AWB four times. Still listening and enjoying

[@paulr.3220]

Oh ya! 60's 70's and 80's. Well 60's and 70's for sure. Don't forget the 50's set the stage.

[@wayneleeke8724]

I was raised in the 60's and 70's where music was our social media. The politics of the day, the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement we felt and then expressed in our music. What is wrong today was wrong then but music brought us through it all. Now I'm a boomer and I'm told that we are irrelevant. Shame, I guess we haven't moved that far, but our music tells it all. You're right "Soul ain't got no colour"

[@willjosef8087]

Iconic track! Thanks for sharing!

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Yo WB, I still listen to their WHITE ALBUM, over 40 years, still love it.

Some bands could start a riot if they wanted to, they are one of those bands

[@frankscarborough1428]

Had never heard of this band. Thanks enjoyed

[@dogtownczar]

60's, 70's and some of the 80's there was an popular idea of states rights (individual rights) over federal government's attempt at benevolence. (Send capital hill more of your money in the way of taxes; those in government will get rich perched in their ivory towers and they'll send a few shackles back in the way of government assistance). Then supporting individual rights through one's efforts to reach for a higher power of self awareness versus now falling for federal systems which marginalizes (its now federalized citizens) are clearly demonstrated through the quality of the music of the 60,70 & some of the 80's versus today's popular music. Now we have tens of writers collaborating on just one song for an already popular artist or even machines writing complete pop songs as well as the machines making of popular music (whatever the AI says will make a hit). Hence we now hear the steady hove beats of a race to the bottom in popular music. Also A&R companies have also forgotten how to do their job and now let the musician champion themselves on lesser platforms until a record company has no choice but to sign them.

[@rickyruiz5653]

Mr. Wilburn I can see your passion for my generation of music which I grew up in the 70 and 80's but you have so much passion for our music put a band together and bring it back I believe that you can do it. Also if you please do a reaction on Lanie Gardner Cry me a river please, wondering what you think. Gob bless and stay safe.

[@danielolson5378]

The drummer is Steve Ferrone whom became a studio cat in the US!

[@glynnborders762]

We had music class in school. Musicianship mattered.

[@Lfg117]

Also: Always love & honor to 1950s brothers who came up sangin' in churches & on the corner - all the 60s-80s artists were inspired by 50s/60s brothers. Facts. I love old soul music: Timeless.

[@williamlucas4656]

I agree with the other comments about what happened during the time but the major thing that happened was music became product and the companies saw computerization as a way to avoid paying the money to the artists that they deserved. Today the product is the equivalent of distilled down American beer. It is the most watery worthless stuff you ever drank or heard

[@leemccurtayne9489]

Damn horns held music together in the late 70s, Tower of Power just drove music back then, god.

Nice version but you should check out their live version from 1976. Person to Person is the name of the Lp. Also, check out some lsley Brothers. AWB was influenced by the Isley's. Check out Fight the Power and Take Me to the next Phase just for starters.

I'm so glad young man that you like the music from my day and I might add the House Parties the Mind set and the attitude of the people back then was beautiful so it wasn't very hard to be able to create such beautiful music because everybody's mine wasn't all whacked out like it is today love abounded understanding respect the joy of living amongst other things was where we was at you need to check out Hall and Oates. I Can't go For That,, Family Man, Sara Smile, And getting to another group you need to check out is "Heatwave" where Johnnie Wilder jr., Keith Wilder, Rod temperton, and the rest of the band was out of sight and ground breakers, check out One Night Tan, To Hot to Handle, Super Soul Sister, This Night we Fell, and Always and Forever I guarantee you won't go wrong and may all three of the brothers that I mentioned rest in peace they sure are part of my memory and a huge part of my family of The 70s Soul Generation May the three gentleman forever R.I.P. young man check them out I guarantee you won't lose!😍👍💯✌👉

You might want to follow Rick Beato's KZbin channel. He's a record producer. He has a great video called "Why Boomers Hate Pop." It explains what went wrong with music in the 1980s and '90s that ruined it for many of us. He also has a series of videos called "What Makes This Song Great" where he analyzes songs from different eras.

[@TheSanityInspector]

American soul music made a deep impression on working class English and Scottish kids, just as blues had years before, and they made some wonderful versions of their own.

[@pbasswil]

'Average White Band' is an ironic name these guys chose, after growing up in love with music from the African American tradition. But look: American music would be _unrecognizable_ to us, if it weren't for the cross-fertilization between and among the white and the black musical traditions. Even back when jazz was first evolving (and segregation was in full force), the black and the white musicians appreciated each other immensely! Search 'Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke', for a good 1920s example of that.

[@trueamerican1307]

They had to change their name to AWB because some lefty no doubt complained because there was a black man in the group

You need to listen to the other live version of Pick Up The Pieces that is 18:22 long. It has no video just audio. It is the one we listened to back then. Actually find and listen to that whole live album... It's awesome..

[@daft4343]

Sooo...this song. This was always a staple by the bands at local venues circa '95ish ..bars mainly. So good! 😊

[@richardcogbill6791]

You should react to the clip of AWB playing live on Soul Train doing .....Cut the Cake.....Person to Person. This is one of the few live performances done on Soul Train before they stopped and went back to visiting groups doing lip syncing to their prerecorded tracks.

[@marilyndurham738]

They got the body going

Saw them perform at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in the mid 70's. Awesome concert.

Appreciate your comments, their vocals c/w the musical performances - pure talent! Hope you checked out their other tunes like "Schoolboy Crush" to hear the vocals in the lead. Good luck with your channel from the UK.
