Hamish Stuart had one of the most soulful voices!
I grew up on these guys! Truly missed music for us who are from I guess what they call, old school! Who else feel the same way? Thankful for TH-cam!
That’s funk beyond the call of duty right there!
Even today, AWB is unmatched in their accomplishment.
Just saw them for the first time a few years ago. Even without the original lead singer,they still got it going on. They were on the same show with War. It was great!
This is when music was music . Today's music/artist can't touch them. Real singing and playing of instruments.
@@debracarr1137…. playing and singing this well at the time - imagine that!
I love AWB but unmatched? There is Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power for fifty plus years...???
Back in the day when this music was first released, my friends and I loved it from the start. We didn't know that it was not black guys producing it. It didn't matter. It was some funky music and we were onboard. We all wanted to sing that falsetto. But who could? Maybe in the shower. It was fun trying.
Junior in high school 1975, someone played the Cut the Cake album over the PA in gym class. I was forever hooked on AWB. 48 years later, I still listen all the time. I ❤ AWB.
I feel so privileged to have personally experienced the music of the 60’s, 70’s, and the 80’s.
What an amazing ride!!
Totally!
Absolutely wonderful!
I loved this Band the moment I heard them . The 70's was great . A young Teen with rhythm !
Damn, I miss real music. These cats were on one back in the day.
Darn shame we don’t have live music on tv anymore
Highly underrated band. Work, work.................
AWB..one of the BEST live bands in the business!
Hamish knocking it out of the park with the vocals!
This band was awesome right out of the box. Exquisitely funky...
Ollie McEntire is the most underrated rhythm guitar player I no
and with Steve Ferrone on drums along with the rest of the band,
how can u lose?
Blue eyed soul my ass PURE R&B SOUL 😎
Scotland's utterly brilliant soul sound geniuses....Used to watch Hamish in the Dream Police, in the Electric Gardens in Glasgow..... he just had what it took......
Doesn't get much better than this!
You are right!
I loved them in high school 49 years ago. Still do!
This guys were ahead of there time! True Funk! Love these Brits!
Brits?
@@IIESPD00DIIyes, Scotland is part of Great Britain. Doh!
It all takes me home,such a smooth groove ! nuthin' betta'!
LOVE AWB! GREAT MUSICIANS AND ALAN AND HAMISH VOICES SO GOOD TOGETHER WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED IT WAS HARD TO TELL WHICH WAS WHICH.
AWB was an L.A. staple! You could see them all the time! Great band!
They did an awesome cover of The Isley Brothers'
classic Got Work To Do.
Person to Person was easy for me to sing in my early 20's plus I sung it in a higher pitch and I'm a baritone/tenor well was lol
Fantastic job
They made it better than the original work to do. This makes me think about 1976 when was 17 going to my first real concert at the Louisville gardens AWB Soul searching tour, Sold out a week before the tour, they could have played Freedom hall, what a show. George Benson was 2nd billing meaning he was the first performance, he played the breezing album entirely then AWB came and put on hell of a show.
Steve Ferrone is chopping it up!!
💫✨ 👊🤣 You said it while I was tryna get it out my brain 🧠 and in the comments! 👊🤣 💫✨
Love this. I grew up with the Don Kirshner show always on when I was very little. My family would have the telly on watching all the live performances on there. AWB is just awesome.
Very cool!
The badass wa
The badas white group ever
On the East Coast (I assume)...IN CONCERT, MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, & DON KIRSHNER'S ROCK CONCERT were all Friday night 11:30pm.
Friday Nights were, THE BEST! I was the only one up, watching ALL the live shows! Guess that's why, out of 6, I'm the ONLY Musician in the Family!
I'm the one, hip hop before hip hop music was even recognized.
Steve Ferrone rock steady on those drums.
AWB in their prime 😊
Most definitely. I would rush home from work to see them on Friday and Saturday nights.
AWB, perfect blend of soul and funk....love the 70s sound.
I saw them on tour in Tucson AZ on Oct 27th 1977 , and it was a barn burner ...not one person was sitting down...Queen of my soul was unreal ....Hamish stole the show...
That Person to Person worldwide tour was off the Chain 1976-77 ,I saw them twice atlanta civic center!!!!
A.W.B live 77 was a monster, them boys was bad.
Saw AWB in 1977 (Norfolk Scope). Wild Cherry opened. Good sound, good show.
The OG "Classic" version of AWB!!!
The original members
@@debracarr1137Steve Ferrone isn’t original but he’s classic for sure
One of my all time favorite groups. Westside of Chicago, 1977. The AWB live, person to person. 10 years old. What memories. Lol.
Nothing average about these guys. Saw them twice in Honolulu. Late 70’s early 80’s
🌴😎🌈Aloha 🤙🏼
OMG. I did not know Dwight Schrute played bass for AWB!
Seriously, I was a live sound engineer in the early 1990's and these guys came through on tour. They absolutely killed it. GREAT BAND. Nice bunch too, no out of control egos, no fussing about - real pros and true gents.
Definitive Blue-Eyed Soul💙💜❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
More than blue eyed soul
That drive that Allen Gorrie did on , "If I ever lose this Heaven" was fantastic.
Me and my wife loved this all the way back in the 70s. Still listen to it on cds. Awesome band and great music.
Very cool!
Introducing in the Rock concert corner a band of heavyweights in the funk and smooth R&B category AWB
Gotta definitely “ Give The Drummer Some….”Steve Ferrone! 😊
Yes the high hat killer.
Whaaaat? That's Steve??? Did NOT know that! Grateful!
Love AWB! This band was popular on Philly radio 📻 & Philly parties 🎉 in the 70s. Their music is the JAWN forever! ❤️🎶🎤🎸🎷🥁🎵
They were really Funky, loved them as a teen

Very nice background sax sound, to go along with the word, "I'm, at 9:09, and, 9:14.
band of geniuses
AWB the reason I started playing the bass.
Their the reason started playing the sax.
The reason I started playing saxophone.
Thanks great times
Simple funky bass lines
Big Sam Clayton of Little Feat on congas... AWB, one of the great all time bands!
Hamish Stuart🔥👍💪
This should be getting more views than it's getting.
True that .
Ripping the stage up, bass player is bringing the heat. 🔥❤🔥🔥🔥
💫✨ What’s cool was that H. Stuart & A. Gorrie (sp?) switched off playing the bass 🎸 depending on the song . . . Can’t leave O. McIntyre out of mention ; he played a mean lead guitar! The entire ensemble was great. 💫✨
loved to have been there xx AWB xx
Blue eyed soul at its very best. Top of the heap baby!
More than blue eyed soul. These guys are black men in white skin.
Awesome !
"I'm the one " was said very nicely, at, 10:31, by the guy in the orangish top.
I have heard a lot of cover groups doing music of that era and it always brings a smile to my face when they do music by AWB. Thanks for posting this
Same here!
awb funk love it xx
Sam Clayton from Little Feat sitting in on congas. Sweet addition!
thank you thank you thank you for posting this!
Groovy white dudes ever
I saw them at the Marquee on the first night of their Sunday residency… about fifty or so people in the audience but after the word got out the following Sunday was packed solid:) Good times:)
Steve Ferrone cutting loose w these guys, then reining it in w Tom Petty. Respect!
Hamish Stuart might be the baddest white dude on earth period!!! Forget music lol
Now I know where Vanessa Williams got this from.
Isley Bros original. But AWB has played since the beginning.
Love it!
I will be seeing them and WAr in New Jersey at the Salem County Fairgrounds on Saturday, August 19, 2023.
💫✨ What a treat! Gotta let us know how it ripped, Man. They’re masters of syncopation - - Safety 1st & Enjoy! 💫✨
I can roll wit' these fellas
From Scotland, I believe.
what a heaven****
Extremely tight!
They did that !
Steve Ferrone the drummer was Tom Pettys drummer the last few albums until Tom passed.
The same Don Kirshner
who started a record label.
Alan Gorrie had such a soulful voice, On par with Michael Mcdonald.
see them next week Tyne theatre Newcastle xxx 8 weeks a long time to be without your sugar xxxxx
James Brown: "AWB almost bad as me."
And don't forget Sam Figueroa on congas.
Sam Clayton
One of the most soulful talented bands of the 70s hands down !! Our crew was shocked when we discovered they're racial makeup !!
COOL BAND !
Steve farrone poping those drums
ferrone was no joke on those drums
Bliss!
To be fair, they were really an ABOVE average white band
I don’t think they were average I tell u that they were better then average!!
At their best.
At least this is a actual live performance and not a studio track mime like most of these "live" performances are
In 1974 people would Lose mony betting that they were all "Black" Lol too Phunny!!! Real FUNK band!!!
So true - between AWB and Teena Marie you’d lose all your money on that bet😂
@@chops5070 totally agree. I wish Tina Marie'would have been able to have did a set with them.
19:19 Onnie does a quote from "She's A Dream"
💫✨ Stoked! 😮 Gr8 pick up!! I was so n2 the groove of his solo (which he played so effortlessly 💯) that I totally missed that!!! 👊 Thanks. 💫✨
Hamish Stuart is white
It's hard to believe that he's white back in the day. What a wonderful time to be a teenager, I was only 17 years old when I went to see the Soul Searching tour at the Louisville Gardens, sold out a week before the show. It was unreal, they sung so naturally smooth. Hamish Stuarts voice ringed trough out the arena so perfect in pitch it was unbelievable.
Hamish Stuart is white chocolate like Tina Marie'.
And he's soulful and funky
Thank God he’s a great artist and funky too!!!!🫡
Well spotted
