Dundee, Scotland’s Average White Band released “Pick Up The Pieces” in the summer of 1974 in their native UK where it originally failed to ignite much of a spark. After the band’s AWB L.P. was released in the US, the single caught fire and rose to number one on the Billboard chart (and #6 in the UK) by February, 1975.
Here’s a clip of the band performing in Montreux, Switzerland in 1977. If you’re a fan of saxophones, 70s slacks and beards – you will be in retro heaven with this’un.
