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 , 🎶🎤🎶
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... 🎶 🎼 🎵
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! 🎷🎺🥁🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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!
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
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?
@@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!
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 🤟❤
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!!!!!
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 .
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.
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! ❤
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.
I saw them at the Hollywood Palladium in 1976 and the Whiskey a go-go in 1977 The Whiskey a go go was standing room only. The idea of standing a long time didn’t sound good.So naturally i was pissed off. a guy came over and offered us the three vacant seats at his table. The only drawback was that the guy and his friends kept leaving the table. Finally I turned around in my seat and saw that Guy next to me was Rick James!
That’s a great experience. Makes me kinda sad. Nothing like that happened where I live. Still doesn’t. Spend all my life wishing I would have left here at age 18 and had some awesome experiences like that😿. Anyway thanks for sharing cuz I love these stories.
I didn't realize that he passed away. I last saw AWB in Orlando, at the House of Blues in the late 90s. I think they were promoting their Soul Tattoo album. At one point, I had noticed he was in the audience area near the bar. I briefly spoke to him, and complemented him and his band. He was so gracious, and humble! He seemed very laid back and at ease. He related a few things to me, and I remember his very heavy Scottish accent. Their music was awesome! So yes, RIP Malcolm (Molly) Duncan.
Correction:. It was Onnie McIntire, the rhythm guitar player, I was referencing in my last comment, not Malcolm Duncan. I got their names mixed up. Nevertheless, RIP MALCOLM (Molly) Duncan.
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.
Yes this band is tight and just a good band. Awesome cool it's good. All positive. Just the sound back in the day. Soul sound. Just a good grove. Back in the day was. Some great sounds. I love just about any kind of music sound. rythem beats horn section all good stuff.
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 !🤔😎
70s were the best growing up with AWB❤👍
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
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!
Hamish Stewart "a blue eyed soul brotha" go sho!! Love AWB! Grew up wth them and still listening today!!! ❤
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.
Theses boys been funky a long time!!!!!!!
Cut The Cake...
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 , 🎶🎤🎶
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
Man they sound so good live
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.
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.😊
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.
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!
That is some serious funk, loose and tight at the same time....
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.
Funk From Scotland! Killin' It! Hard!
Scotland ain't that a blip, very funky.
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.
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
Now, that's just NASTY!!!! Another great performance from AWB
I saw them live in the 70’s,I was a young teenager.Blown away by these fantastic musicians 🙏🏽
Steve Ferrone on drums! WOW
just too damn good!!👍👍
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.
One of my fave all-time bands.
Love the fact he's getting funky on a Gretsch White Falcon
One of my favourite tracks, those vocals are so on point.
Hamish is clearly having fun!
The best AWB. God bless you all . Marvellous. Peace and Love. This is the band .
Seen them 5 times...one the BADDEST bands ever...EVER!. Enjoyed every show.
4 times, better live😌
They was blasting on the radio, and on the block. They had Detroit on lock with this.
yep yep
You just can’t beat the classics.
What a band right up there with the greats without a question of doubt,soul,funk,jazz. Guys you are blessed with the rhythm.!!!!
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!
Timeless funk classics. AMAZING band. GROOVE AF
Alan Gorrie is one cat that get away singing lead and play bass guitar!
aint no faking the funk they slamming 1977 omg
Wurd..
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT (MY ERA 70S )✌
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!
Rest Well,. Malcolm (Molly) Duncan 🎷🙏 8/24/45. 10/8/19. From Blewfoot.....
Troy Staton 😢
@@thomasoleary970 Man! 🎷
TRUE music!!!
All True!
" All James Brown had to do with this Band, was just dance, while everything else took care of itself."
Timeless and still sounds great
True BlueEye SOUL 2023 JAMS on the One.
One of my favourite bands at the time and one I wished I had seen live.
Scotland's finest. Have to say also, absolutely killer congas!
Looks like Sammy Figueroa. Supah phonky.
OMG! That drum roll is sick!!!
I saw them in concert 2014 and they were so dope. Much luv to AWB ❤️🔥❤️
oh god,i still love it.....
Well said !!!
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
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.
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?
I Grew Up Listening To This Group
Very Funky With A Smooth Groove
I Love You AWB ❤️
The Music Man 🎸🎹🎤
Grew up listening to them as a teenager luv them,💖
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!!
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.

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.
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.
Soulful.
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! ❤
Best scottish band ever that funk soul had the album when it came out and it still sounds Great .
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! 🕶🥁🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🎹🎭
Dr. Cornel West brought me here from the Joe Rogan Podcast...he wasn't lying
Soul in a kilt!
