Funk,R&B/Soul
The Average White Band is a Scottish soul and funk band that rose to fame in the late 1970s. Though perhaps best known for their timeless instrumental mega-hit, "Pick Up the Pieces," the band's strength actually lay in their consistently accomplished songwriting, stretching across several gold selling albums and multiple Grammy nominations for the legendary Atlantic Records. The group took the influences of their R&B heroes – people like Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Donny Hathaway and others – and developed their own authentic sound, which was eagerly adopted by black audiences in the U.S. and elsewhere.
