Average White Band should be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and it’s a travesty!!! When they released School Boy Crush in the 70’s they shook up the world!!! And they’re still doing the damn thang!!! Whatever happens they got my vote as one of the funkiest groups of all time!!!
Sade is a Goddess with an Angelic voice and on top of that had one of the baddest, kick ass backing Bands ever! Sure would love to see her and the Band resurface soon to share with us again that Amazing talent they have together... 🎶 🎼 🎵
I went to the AWB concert in San Diego back in 1970-something. My date, Peggy, looked like Lauren Bacall! I remember dancing with her in the isle. My father dropped us off at the SD Sports Arena for the show. I couldn’t drive yet. Good times!!!!!
Im78...my son graduated in 77....this was his music choice back when he was 18......now I find myself caught in a CLOUDY HAMISH WEB..... Insomnia at 2 am....listening to Person to Person. ... Cloudy. .and "love of Your Own....In the dark. Mesmerized with the funky beat. Love it , 🎶🎤🎶
how about tower of power?? they were there first and then kokomo..not the same with awb after robbie died..steven ferrone is excellent but there is only one francis rocco prestia and david g.
Stevie Wonder said it best; music is an universal language , and Average White Band from Scotland stabilized that statement! Nothing average about this band, one of the all time great bands! 🎷🎺🥁🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤
hamish stuart is still singing this classic, still touring, still showing his class, a one off, the best soul/funk singer to come out of scotland bar none.
Saw them at fast lanes with my cousins in Asbury Park 1980. Sounded as good when I heard them on the radio in 73 when I was a sophomore in high school. Every body thought they were black. Soul is from the heart. One of my best funk and soul bands.
100% pure grade A funk. No additives, fillers or auto-tune. Remember listening to these guys on KGFJ in LA back in the day. My dad still has this on vinyl.
Person to person was my favorite jam from this band, when you found out they were white, it was so cool, youdon't hate on that which is good & great and dancing and having fun as a teenager !
@@SGazer I never saw them when Hamish was the lead vocalist but I saw AWB many times. For my birthday and 25th anniversary coming up my husband ,RIP, rented the VIP loft for us at Hard Rock on the 2nd floor. The best seats in the house with no crowds!
When I was a young 'lad' living in Ft. Hood Tx circa 1976 (my dad was military) my neighbor put this tune or actually the entire album on.....I was blown away....can you imagine how blown away I was when I saw the album cover and saw a picture of the AWB?
Nobody talkin bout Alan’s Marvin Gaye vocal vibe?! ❤ Them horns tho! Fire! Steve Ferrone’s drumming! Stellar! I can’t stop listening! Hamish is just the cherry on top! ❤
Pulled up to the AWB concert in MPLS, MN in the late 70's in a brand new Buick 225, dressed to the 9's, with a friend and two hot women, with 6th row dead center tickets. Awesome!
This funky sound came out of Scotland, Scotland? Can you believe it? I certainly didn't, when I first heard AWB, I thought they were a group from Philadelphia, they had that Philly groove.
So 1975 on the campus of Oklahoma University I first heard this at the Alpha house .. I was 20 at the time now I’m 67? What? Can you believe these guys were young adults. So you see that song and many more they put out stood the test of time. And they are still performing? LB 2022
These guys have always been down for the movement. I saw them so many times as a kid and they were as kind and appreciative of our people welcoming them so hard. Guys from Europe never fully understood the confederacy crap that caused such a divide in this country but at every Kool Jazz Fest they showed out in outstanding fashion.
I was 14 when this came out & right away I was blown away by the drummer, Steve Ferrone & bassist, Alan Gorrie. I loved the whole album & then the following year, in '75, Bowie, along with some great players, including David Sanborn on sax, released Young Americans. I miss my old final collection. It was kinda like a point of pride among my friends and me to see who could come up with the coolest new album every month or two. This was my '74 pick. for the year 🤟❤
All Love to A W B the Funk is to cold ! Philly Love this band don't stop the music it's to hot. Ha ha ha Rick Brennan from Change North Philly Love Peace thank for your music brothers your jams was the joint! 333 .
When I was a kid of 12 I thought they were an American band. I couldn’t believe they were Scots from Dundee. I wish we 🏴 could produce more bands like this.
When I was in high school I let a friend borrow my Cut The Cake cassette. He couldn’t believe that they were white guys from Scotland. When I asked him to return it he said he lost it. 15 years later I dropped by his house and AWB music was playing in the background. I asked is that my cassette? We could only laugh. He said he was taking care of it for me. If he wasn’t a good friend I would have been mad.
Clearly this band's name is contradictory to their abilities. There is NOTHING average about the 'AWB'. Their music has been a staple of my musical rotation from vinyl to cassette to CD and now .mp3. They are about as 'soulful' as you can get!!!
Hello ,Vic ,j't'ai reconnu ,tkt j'te couvre même si t'as changé quek p'tite détails....ah ouais désolé, i'm french! Et,changer de bass ok mais de là à prendre une huit cordes ! Wat's going on thundercat's est dans les cordes
Another incredible band from an incredible era…AWB STILL, can rock the house!!! They continue to tour this very day. As with most 70’s bands, they are minus all of they original members…but they groove is always hot! Those of us who grew up during the 70’s are spoiled rotten, when it comes to music…it was and still is…the best! 🕶🥁🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🎹🎭
So about five years ago I met a friend of my wife's who was Scottish. Like off the boat Scottish. We started talking about music and AWB was mentioned. He said something like, "Another fine Scottish band," and I laughed, because I thought he was joking. And he's just looking at me, until I realized he wasn't. And I was like, "GTFO." I had NO idea.
Hamish Stewart - the funkiest white singer in pop music HISTORY. hands down, 100-percent winner!!!!
You will never say a truer word my friend
The man is Irish and music is an art form that is aiestion you
XX crump no choice, michael Macdonald can’t touch this
@@precisionbrown6829 no shit! for real average white band is the shit very funky indeed!
@@brucebelisle6403 I always believed he was Scottish !🤔😎
The incomparable Steve Ferrone on drums....groove master!
Dino...Tell them again...Steve Ferrone was ONE OF THE BADDEST DRUM WIZARDS OUT THERE..!! HE COULD KICK AND POUND THE DRUMS.
They need to be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame. my vote i seed the cat s in the 70s with WAR i like WAR. but they turned the show out
Super !
Awesome Group!!🎤🎸🎼📀🎷🥁🎹💯💙💞🔥
Jay Britt _____ He had some pretty big shoes to fill
Average White Band should be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and it’s a travesty!!! When they released School Boy Crush in the 70’s they shook up the world!!! And they’re still doing the damn thang!!! Whatever happens they got my vote as one of the funkiest groups of all time!!!
I was just thinking the same thing!
“School Boy Crush” is my least favorite of their hits. “A Love of Your Own” is what set it off.
YES YES YES!!! How are they N O T !
70s were the best growing up with AWB❤👍
These cats were dope and the fact that they were from Scotland is amazing. Great band love their music.
Now I was totally unaware they were from Scotland.
I had forgotten all about these guys.They were the bomb.
Scotland huh shut up Michael who would have thought it lol
I bet there hasn’t been a band in Scotland like them since.
Like leonid and friends from Russia.doing Chicago covers.checkem out.
The musician ship. These brothers kill it Like Sade’s house band Just have that thing. Soulful as hell white black these boys kill it
Sade is the name of the band
Ditto Sade is the band.
Sade is a Goddess with an Angelic voice and on top of that had one of the baddest, kick ass backing Bands ever!
Sure would love to see her and the Band resurface soon to share with us again that Amazing talent they have together... 🎶 🎼 🎵
They are from Scotland
Dr. Cornel West brought me here from the Joe Rogan Podcast...he wasn't lying
It's 2020. I think we could all use some "Person to Person." This was my serious jam when it came out, and still lovin' it now!
Don’t forget “School Boy Crush.” 🏆
Hamish had a very natural and soulful swag!
Theses boys been funky a long time!!!!!!!
Cut The Cake...
I went to the AWB concert in San Diego back in 1970-something. My date, Peggy, looked like Lauren Bacall! I remember dancing with her in the isle. My father dropped us off at the SD Sports Arena for the show. I couldn’t drive yet. Good times!!!!!
Funk From Scotland! Killin' It! Hard!
Scotland ain't that a blip, very funky.
Im78...my son graduated in 77....this was his music choice back when he was 18......now I find myself caught in a CLOUDY HAMISH WEB..... Insomnia at 2 am....listening to Person to Person. ... Cloudy. .and "love of Your Own....In the dark. Mesmerized with the funky beat. Love it , 🎶🎤🎶
I Love Me Some Cloudy Also. I Love That Classic LP Person To Person.. So Many Jam's. Great Traveling Music
No other and like them. They had it going on in the 70s big time. Their music is still relevant 45 years later.
how about tower of power?? they were there first and then kokomo..not the same with awb after robbie died..steven ferrone is excellent but there is only one francis rocco prestia and david g.
2022 and still funking on down to AWB, love their groove ,feel, tightness, musical perfection 🥰
Pure unadultrated FUNK!!!
Yes..yes.. pure funk it's 2023, I'm 63 and I will be listening to this until I die.
Will be coming to Denver🎉
Stevie Wonder said it best; music is an universal language , and Average White Band from Scotland stabilized that statement! Nothing average about this band, one of the all time great bands! 🎷🎺🥁🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤
😊Average White Band is a very bad group I listen to them every chance I get.😊
Now, that's just NASTY!!!! Another great performance from AWB
Hamish Stewart "a blue eyed soul brotha" go sho!! Love AWB! Grew up wth them and still listening today!!! ❤
hamish stuart is still singing this classic, still touring, still showing his class, a one off, the best soul/funk singer to come out of scotland bar none.
Damm! I love this tempo ❤❤❤❤Funky AF 2023
Wow! I remember this song on the 70’s when I was a tween. It still stands up today!
Love how AWB slows down the rhythm - bass line and drums dripping big and slow like molasses. Nice.
KLIP1220 AM Soul Radio Station , slowing down was AWB’s secret weapon.
Saw them at fast lanes with my cousins in Asbury Park 1980. Sounded as good when I heard them on the radio in 73 when I was a sophomore in high school. Every body thought they were black. Soul is from the heart. One of my best funk and soul bands.
That is some serious funk, loose and tight at the same time....
100% pure grade A funk. No additives, fillers or auto-tune. Remember listening to these guys on KGFJ in LA back in the day. My dad still has this on vinyl.
I do still have the vinyl as well 🙂
The vinyl's probably worth a lot...
KGFJ Sports with Brad Pye, Jr. then AWB, then the Bar Kays.
yep!!! KGFK was the bomb!
Person to person was my favorite jam from this band, when you found out they were white, it was so cool, youdon't hate on that which is good & great and dancing and having fun as a teenager !
Mine too my jamm.. will always be
Theses guys had some of the best two part harmony I've ever heard and I listen to all forms of music
They were the truth. No band could out funky them. Just one of the best bands out there. Damn they were funky.
I saw them live in the 70’s,I was a young teenager.Blown away by these fantastic musicians 🙏🏽
The best AWB. God bless you all . Marvellous. Peace and Love. This is the band .
Man they sound so good live
Seen them 5 times...one the BADDEST bands ever...EVER!. Enjoyed every show.
4 times, better live😌
One of my favourite tracks, those vocals are so on point.
There is nothing average about this white band. They are full of funk and soul! This one is a favorite.
...this is one of the jams that put them on the map back in 74 when I decided to come to Cali.
Agreed.
@@SGazer I never saw them when Hamish was the lead vocalist but I saw AWB many times. For my birthday and 25th anniversary coming up my husband ,RIP, rented the VIP loft for us at Hard Rock on the 2nd floor. The best seats in the house with no crowds!
One of my fave all-time bands.
What a band right up there with the greats without a question of doubt,soul,funk,jazz. Guys you are blessed with the rhythm.!!!!
When I was a young 'lad' living in Ft. Hood Tx circa 1976 (my dad was military) my neighbor put this tune or actually the entire album on.....I was blown away....can you imagine how blown away I was when I saw the album cover and saw a picture of the AWB?
You just can’t beat the classics.
Hamish is clearly having fun!
They was blasting on the radio, and on the block. They had Detroit on lock with this.
yep yep
Love the fact he's getting funky on a Gretsch White Falcon
Steve Ferrone on drums! WOW
Nobody talkin bout Alan’s Marvin Gaye vocal vibe?! ❤ Them horns tho! Fire! Steve Ferrone’s drumming! Stellar! I can’t stop listening! Hamish is just the cherry on top! ❤
Pulled up to the AWB concert in MPLS, MN in the late 70's in a brand new Buick 225, dressed to the 9's, with a friend and two hot women, with 6th row dead center tickets. Awesome!
this was my stick back in the day!
Timeless funk classics. AMAZING band. GROOVE AF
Sy Smith, with her radiant smile and sweet voice, envelops us in an atmosphere of peace and serenity. 💚🤍❤
Their Soul Searching album is my favorite still listen to it today, timeless classic!!!
Yeah hot band from the jump. Thanks we all loved them
I've seen 3 times, and they were awesome each time
Listening in 2024❤
OMG! That drum roll is sick!!!
I live in Atlanta I just saw them last night with Jodie Whatley. AWB brought back a lot of memories man they were still performing well
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT (MY ERA 70S )✌
I saw them in"77 at the Capitol Center and these guys were AWESOME!!! Some REALLY SOULFUL WHITE DUDES!!! BAD AS SHIT!!!
In Passaic ?
In DC!!!
My teenage and young adults years went by way too fast. 🙁 🎼
Clinton Pough why don’t the politicians do anything about THAT?
SAY THAT AGAIN!
This funky sound came out of Scotland, Scotland? Can you believe it? I certainly didn't, when I first heard AWB, I thought they were a group from Philadelphia, they had that Philly groove.

Alan Gorrie is one cat that get away singing lead and play bass guitar!
I remember back in the ‘70’s...so cool...just plain funk!
You hear that soul from the other side of the world right there AWB putting out hits after hits
just too damn good!!👍👍
True BlueEye SOUL 2023 JAMS on the One.
Had the pleasure of seeing them at the Concord Pavilion in California. Amazing Live. Have been a fan from the beginning. Pick up the pieces forward.
These guys have always been down for the movement. I saw them so many times as a kid and they were as kind and appreciative of our people welcoming them so hard. Guys from Europe never fully understood the confederacy crap that caused such a divide in this country but at every Kool Jazz Fest they showed out in outstanding fashion.
TRUE music!!!
All True!
One of my favourite bands at the time and one I wished I had seen live.
I was 14 when this came out & right away I was blown away by the drummer, Steve Ferrone & bassist, Alan Gorrie. I loved the whole album & then the following year, in '75, Bowie, along with some great players, including David Sanborn on sax, released Young Americans. I miss my old final collection.

Ohhh yesssss! I haven’t heard this song in forever! 💃🏽
Thank you for the music. Thanks for the memories and for coming to the Cape. The show was awesome, just beautiful ❤️🌹❤️ God continue to bless you.
I saw them in concert 2014 and they were so dope. Much luv to AWB ❤️🔥❤️
They are just some blue eyes soul brother playing that funky music 🎵🎸🎶

Timeless and still sounds great

1970s when we all wore the bell bottoms and sported a beard. Those were the days!😊
Steve Ferrone bouncing up and down like James Gadson used to on the drumkit! Legendary funky band..
Woooo
Can you guys believe that these fellas are all over 70 years old now
Time sure flys.
So am I...Loved it then and love it even more now!!
If you keep listening to them your, Addiction Will Broaden. This band is habbit forming.

Baddest and funkiest white band ever. I went to see them ever time they came to town.
Clearly this band's name is contradictory to their abilities. There is NOTHING average about the 'AWB'. Their music has been a staple of my musical rotation from vinyl to cassette to CD and now .mp3. They are about as 'soulful' as you can get!!!

The name equivalent to someone saying I'm harmless then proceed to carve someone up lol
AWB 🙃🙃😲😲😲😎😎😎
Lot of white people get hung up on the "Average" in their name. Geez, it's a self-deferential title that they came up with about themselves. Geez.
Saw AWB four times, always brilliant. Scottish funksters
Best scottish band ever that funk soul had the album when it came out and it still sounds Great .
How in the world did this show up on my feed? Love it!!
Another incredible band from an incredible era…AWB STILL, can rock the house!!! They continue to tour this very day.
As with most 70’s bands, they are minus all of they original members…but they groove is always hot!
Those of us who grew up during the 70’s are spoiled rotten, when it comes to music…it was and still is…the best! 🕶🥁🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🎹🎭
Man that bass player and drummer is laying down a nasty groove.
