Yes it was and being that I was born in 1959, I had a front row seat leading up to the 70’s, I had older sisters so I had to pretty much listen to the late 60’s music they would play, I was lucky to be at the right time😎
I hope all black people take this amazing music as a homage because that is exactly what it is. These guys had so much soul and wanted to just let it out and they clearly respected and were influenced by African American music. They killed it imo!
They are way more than "average"...grew up with their music...really funky group, who truly "get" the funk! Who'd have thunk??? Awesome band, for sure!
I heard these cats when they first hit the streets. I didn't think there was anything Average about them. Blacks have had an influence on music worldwide since the riverboat started cruising up and down the Mississippi River. I'm into the bass guitar and hearing bassist from around the world, Thumpin' and Pluckin', beyond what Larry Graham first laid down in the late 60s, it lets me know just how far apart we as humans really are. WE'RE NOT!!! We all have something to contribute, we just need to stop listening to the would-be controllers, they are where humanity's problem comes from.
I WAS BLESSED TO SEE THE ORIGINAL PLAYERS IN ATLANTA GA IN 1978. A SMALL CLUB CALLED " COTTON CLUB" SO CLOSE YOU COULD TOUCH THEM. THEY BLOW THE DOORS OFF THAT JOINT....SMOKE SOME OF MOTHER NATURE'S FINEST GREENS 💨💨💨. THAT WAS A NIGHT I'LL NEVER FORGET. PLEASE BELIEVE THAT !
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.
@@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.
Steve Ferrone was the Drummer for Tom Petty for years and when I checked his Discography was so surprised to see all the tunes he played on that are on my Playlist!!! Did not know who the ‘Funky Drummer’ was until about a month ago!! Hats off to Steve Ferrone!!🥁🎼🇬🇧#Brighton
Saw them Saturday night in London. Everyone, from the 20 somethings to the 70 somethings, we’re grooving and moving to this great and under-recognized band.
One of the greatest bands that I grew up listening as a young person in the 70’s and 80’s. I have their albums, they were loved and scratched, recently found replacements in an antiques indoor market, just by chance search through large collection of albums. Saw AWB grabbed them. Vey mint condition!! AWB 🔥🖤🔥
I born in the seventies the music and the way to live in these years are the best who ever simeone can get in the history , the perplessità were rally free.
Saw these guys live around 1977. Just as good as this video. After the first song, the entire audience got up and danced. I will never forget this band!
Awwwe yeah baby, these are some Funky blue-eyed soul brothers. Bruno Mars this is how you do it, you can't half step with FUNK. GET DOWN MY FUNKY SOUL BROTHERS!!!
I lived it You had all great tunes from 60s Then infusion of hard R & R, R & B, SOUL FUNK, COUNTRY all crossing over & blending into some fantastic music that'll never be surpassed....EVER Soo many different genres crossed over into one another making for a very unique time in music history
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.
I totally agree. I loved these funky soul brothers from the first time I heard them. I even had the pleasure of seeing them in concert. I do love the Isleys' version and Vanessa Williams did it also; but this definitely is my favorite.
I have loved AWB from the get-go back in the day. Super funky band that always charted their own course with a fresh, clean sound. The foundation of their sound is always that solid rhythm section (bass, guitar & drums), piled high with the tasty keyboard & sax work, and solid vocals. 'Soul' has no color. I even saw them perform live at the Hollywood Palladium. They did not disappoint!
I've listened to this amazing band for over 50 years and i just learned here they are Scottish! WTF I thought they were from Chicago or something! Unbelievable!
They make me wanna go back in time. I was a young teenager just got old enough to see soul searching concert, but if had been old enough I would traveled to other cities to see them. I'm from Louisville but I would have went Indianapolis, Cincinnati st Louis and Nashville, but I wasn't old enough. They blend in together so well, the original Band, just alsome.
I love the Isley Brothers, and this is a great song. Nevertheless, this tempo and energy of this is guaranteed to get me up on my feet every time, and the Main Ingredient's version is my choice if I'm chilling. AWB demonstrating that the Scots can kick arse.
They were awesome, terrific, excellent and inspiring. Roger Ball and Molly Duncan were the reason I played saxophone and trumpet in highschool concert band.
Steve Lopez I love his drumming. He keeps it moving on schedule and with style. Some of us white dudes know which side of our musical bread is buttered by who. Go brown and black, you can't go back. But you can have a side of white when it's right. lol
He had big shoes to fill and he rose to the task. Robbie McIntosh was a phenomenal musician who died tragically. I had the pleasure of seeing Steve with Tom Petty😁 Incidentally, Onnie McIntyre and the 1970s version of my dad are long lost twins lol
Living in the time of Corona... this just makes me remember how much I miss the vibe and energy of live concerts.. shoulder to shoulder, rocking in motion and Sharing priceless moments with total strangers... thanks to all my brothers and sisters of humanity who rocked with me... hope we will all rock, worry free, again 💯❤️🙏🏾
I love Hamish and have seen him several times, and Gorries AWB too. But here as the AWB, I dig the way Gorrie phrases the vocals here - to have two instumentalist vocalists and for them both to be that good is fantastic. Simply great music and a brilliant cover of the Isleys classic.
I am SO OLD, that I saw The AWB at the Troubadour in Los Angeles back in the 1970's 2 nights in a row. The Troub was not that big a club and it wasn't completely full either. It might have been on a weeknight. This was when they still had Robbie McIntosh the original drummer. He died shortly afterwards. They were great. I probably still have their first vinyl album in my collection
I don't know how to say this...As much as I love the musical catalogue of the Great Isley Brothers, the AWB's "Work to Do" is comparable, allow me please, as good if not better: better groove, quicker pace, instrumentally and, dare I say Vocally. O.K., I'm ready for the "Pile On"...please tell me were I'm gone off the rails!...Peace...!
chefmarkable WELL I FOR ONE AGREE WITH YOU!! I LOVE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN ISLY BRO's BUT, I LOVE AWB FOR THERE EXTRA FUNK THEY BROUGHT TO THE SONG!!! SUPURB BASS SLAPPN ;) ♡♡♡
AWB is one of the tightest bands ever - had a friend who worked at an Agora and saw all the bands some through and said AWB were some of the best musicians of them all.
jzt0903 was that the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta Georgia across the street from the Fox Theater on the corner of Peachtree and Ponce de Leon? If it is I was at that joint of many of time myself.
what a shame, i wonder why? was it a riff between Alan and Hamish? They are both amazing alone but together the are mind blowing and I would hate to think that EGO would contaminate this beautiful collaboration. i hope this isn’t the case.
there brilliant musicianship got me there ahead of all the humdrum thanks glasgow green for bringing these guys, yes they got to be heard they are a work in progress so amazing????????
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"....
The '70s was the best decade for music. Real music.
Yes it was and being that I was born in 1959, I had a front row seat leading up to the 70’s, I had older sisters so I had to pretty much listen to the late 60’s music they would play, I was lucky to be at the right time😎
Ain't no doubt
Without question. ✨️😊💛
Yes it was indeed
@@johnreyes1749born in 59 also great time to be born.got to experience all the beautiful music of the 70’s.
If you don't like this song you don't have a pulse!!!! What a JAM!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
It was good 👍 😌 but I like the isley brothers better
Dig that fosho! This was back when we would put the check down with CLASS, STYLE, BACKBONE & FEELING!
AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH
@freddiehill9146 You know, it's OK to love both bands and I sure do. Ernie Isley was a beast on guitar and he used to play with Hendrix.
AWB was a very underrated soulful band at 71 still listening 🎶 and loving this group 😍
They could kill on funk and they could kill on ballads! Hamish Stuart had one of the most SOULFUL voices ever!
Baddest white boys from Scotland on the planet!
Straight up. With you on that man.
This was the song I am 70years old and I still love this song ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
So true.Much respect to my blue eye soul brothers 67 yr. BM here . They put on a great live show. God bless America.
I hope all black people take this amazing music as a homage because that is exactly what it is. These guys had so much soul and wanted to just let it out and they clearly respected and were influenced by African American music. They killed it imo!
They diffentlly have the feel and pocket
They are way more than "average"...grew up with their music...really funky group, who truly "get" the funk! Who'd have thunk??? Awesome band, for sure!
if that wasn't the case do you think they would have been as successful as they have been all of these years?

It’s a cover of an Isley Brothers song.
Had the best funk in the 70s miss it livin in the past nothin comes close to that old school❤❤❤
One of the tightest bands ever, each of the members in a different class!
Big time.
All I know is I sure do appreciate their vocal abilities and the grooves this band together make happen OUTSTANDING 👏😃@sickleshapedlife
what different class?
Yes!
I WAS BLESSED TO SEE THE ORIGINAL PLAYERS IN ATLANTA GA IN 1978. A SMALL CLUB CALLED " COTTON CLUB" SO CLOSE YOU COULD TOUCH THEM. THEY BLOW THE DOORS OFF THAT JOINT....SMOKE SOME OF MOTHER NATURE'S FINEST GREENS 💨💨💨. THAT WAS A NIGHT I'LL NEVER FORGET. PLEASE BELIEVE THAT !
Great music!!! Don't hear music like that anymore, music from the heart 👏👏👏👏👏
Alan's bass playing and vocals are top notch.
One of the greatest bands ever Not to be in the rock and roll hall of fame
Been playing there music since I was 18 , I am now 63 and I still love them ❤️
Me too
...and 63 years later still don't know the difference between their, there, & they're
I'm 67 , so tight and clean AWB ROCKS!
so have I I'm a bit older 67 my favorite band ever!
Yes 71
YOU GUYS KILLED IT!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
The funkiest Scotsmen I've ever come across!
Yes yes yes HOLD IT NOW 👍
You can say that again!
4 Real👍
Never forget The Krankies 🤣😂🙈
As a Dundee girl, I couldn’t feel prouder of these guys and their amazing musicianship 🎶♥️🎶♥️🎶

Great Band!!! The Drummer is insane!!
Steve Ferrone ,,,,,,,AWB were the 1st live band I ever saw ,Hammersmith around 1977, Got all the vinyl, still playing it 45 years later
Yes he is, notice how he plays his bass drum in unison with the bass guitar.
Steve Ferrone was the Drummer for Tom Petty for years and when I checked his Discography was so surprised to see all the tunes he played on that are on my Playlist!!! Did not know who the ‘Funky Drummer’ was until about a month ago!! Hats off to Steve Ferrone!!🥁🎼🇬🇧#Brighton
Saw them Saturday night in London. Everyone, from the 20 somethings to the 70 somethings, we’re grooving and moving to this great and under-recognized band.
Under recognised by who?
4/27/23: One of the most soulful white chocolate bands ever. Seeing them in May at Oakdale Theatre, CT...can't wait!!!
Funky magic. What an era!❤
One of best bands of my lifetime !!! Love 💕 em

Just heard President Obama mention this AWB/Work. Good times, memories‼️❤
Bless the web!!! I heard this song a few times on the radio, fell in love with it. Now I can listen as much as I want want to
Rest Well,. Malcolm "Molly Duncan 🎷🙏. 8/24/45 10/8/19..... From Blewfoot.....

The people were really free
Saw these guys live around 1977. Just as good as this video. After the first song, the entire audience got up and danced. I will never forget this band!
Same happened in Pittsburg too….women? On the tables dancing….best concert I have ever been to🤗🙂🙂
They played at The Warehouse in New Orleans often - We loved them !
Wow lucky ❤
Did you guys dance the entire time? I can't image people dancing at a concert nowadays.
Between these guys and Rick James...FUNK RULED THE WORLD IN 1977!!! Best music to dance to hands down. Truly miss those days.
So well put, I miss those days too
Saw them in Pittsburg in 1981…and to this day the best gig I have ever seen!
I LOVE THIS BAND THEY ARE SO GOOD 💯💯⭐🌕✊🏾
THIS LINE UP WAS THE BEST LINE UP OF ALL THEIR LINE UPS.
Still exceptional!!!
I prefer Robbie even tho Steve is one of the best....

I grew up there, thanks for the enlightening! Good excuse for a visit? 70 last week, only a number.
If i had one band to listen only rest of MY LIFE this would be hands down IT❤🙏😎❤️
hands down one of the best soul funk bands ever. solid vocals, tight band. they groove like crazy. love em.
Play that music
Hilarious comment 🤣😂🤣
Play that funky music White boy!
You said it all👍
Singing and Playing from Spirit that give life
Great rendition of an Isley Brothers classic from 1972
1972 wow l never knew lisey bothers verson was that old 49 years old early 70s from uk England
Definitely they were a top ten soul band, and Hamish Stuart had a unique falsetto voice. They were just pure funk pure excellence.
Awwwe yeah baby, these are some Funky blue-eyed soul brothers. Bruno Mars this is how you do it, you can't half step with FUNK.
GET DOWN MY FUNKY SOUL BROTHERS!!!
Loved them!! Back in the day we danced and jammed to them..and my black friends all liked them as well...we clubbed our ass off!!
I had the AWB album in the 70s, still love hearing and watching them!! But I never knew they were Scottish until about a year ago. Wow, just wow!
Very good. Thank you.
again greatmotivational music
On repeat since a few days! I wish I'd lived in this era. Insanely awesome music history 😍
I lived it
You had all great tunes from 60s

Yes ❤
They were something of a miracle. A top notch funk band out of Dundee. Who would have thought it?
"Go head y'all." ✌ Great memories. Bring it back to the old school.
AWB is so Funky!! Love them!!! Harmonies are beautiful ❤❤
Give props to BOTH - AWB and The Isley Brothers. This version is prime funkified groove. The Isley's version is get you in the soul, SOUL.
I have loved AWB from the get-go back in the day. Super funky band that always charted their own course with a fresh, clean sound.

Oh yeah Cleveland Ohio in the 🏡
I love the Isley Brothers, and this is a great song. Nevertheless, this tempo and energy of this is guaranteed to get me up on my feet every time, and the Main Ingredient's version is my choice if I'm chilling. AWB demonstrating that the Scots can kick arse.

A bonus point for you for saying 'arse'.
I only found out today almost 2022 that the Isley Brothers wrote and performed the original version. Shame on me!
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 pmsl!
Killer ..killer drummer to...fits perfect
They were awesome, terrific, excellent and inspiring. Roger Ball and Molly Duncan were the reason I played saxophone and trumpet in highschool concert band.

Agreed
Just love it real music
I Love this song since 1 9 7 5 and

Thank You. "AWB". !! !! !! !!
Steve Ferrone is a damn BEAST on the drums!!!
Them white dudes are pretty good too...

The drummer makes this song.
He had big shoes to fill and he rose to the task. Robbie McIntosh was a phenomenal musician who died tragically. I had the pleasure of seeing Steve with Tom Petty😁 Incidentally, Onnie McIntyre and the 1970s version of my dad are long lost twins lol

chefmarkable I like both versions, and for different reasons. Well, not reasons, they're both musical, for different moods.
Love them both. AWB come from the area i grew up on the Southside of Glasgow. This soul from Glasgow is remarkable
i think they both need more airhorns and autotune personally...
Pure🔥....Best version in my opinion
chefmarkable WELL I FOR ONE AGREE WITH YOU!! I LOVE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN ISLY BRO's BUT, I LOVE AWB FOR THERE EXTRA FUNK THEY BROUGHT TO THE SONG!!! SUPURB BASS SLAPPN ;) ♡♡♡

Was that the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta ? I got to see AWB at the Cotton Club in Atlanta!
I thought that when I saw them in London when the White Album came out. So tight.
AWB Work To Do> putting it down damn
Classic - Thank you for this LIVE performance! AWB knows how to deliver the funk on live performance! Thank you Alan Gorrie and Hamish Stuart!
Top funk,soul band ever
When I saw this group on Soul Train. I was like wow They have to be good to show up on Soul Train.
I too remember and so did the romantics came on soul train
Love this version! Probably my fave redition.
Understand Work to do
I think the version on the White Album is my favorite, 👍
Best UK Soul Band = No Argument
Man I love this song! I had only heard Pickin' Up The Pieces so hearing them sing was amazing. Thanks Benrie Mac Show for showing me this!
Nic Lofton SORRY DUDE ...CORRECTION, IT'S, PICK UP THE PIECES, NOT, PICKING UP THE PIECES...K? JUST A FYI. NO DISRESPECT :-)
Listen to the album, every track a gem. In fact listen to all their albums!
Check out. "Cut the cake"
I saw these guys in 1974, they were really good.
Amazing solo from Onnie. Hamish enjoyed it.
Wow! Hamishes' voice is pitch perfect
That is Sammy Figueroa on percussions.
MaTilda D'Hum xoxo
That’s what I was thinking! Are you sure?
that is the best version ever...period...…..magnificent
Man I wish Alan and Hamish would reunite!!!
Keep wishing but not happening
what a shame, i wonder why? was it a riff between Alan and Hamish? They are both amazing alone but together the are mind blowing and I would hate to think that EGO would contaminate this beautiful collaboration. i hope this isn’t the case.
Hamish Stuart worked on Paul McCartney’s Flowers in the dirt album in 1989 and also toured with him from 1989-93!
And is a better singer and musician. So macca got to work with HIM!
there brilliant musicianship got me there ahead of all the humdrum thanks glasgow green for bringing these guys, yes they got to be heard they are a work in progress so amazing????????
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"....
