70s soul classic of the day: "Soul Searching" by Average White Band (1976)


The title track from Average White Band's 1976 album 'Soul Searching' is one of their finest moments.Never released as a single,this incredible midtempo funk track boasts a sublime horn arangement,and a breezy,summery vibe.

soul searching...digging a little bit deeper (digging a little bit deeper...everyday)


I think this just might be my favorite song by them.The album is their masterpiece,imo.

Y'all done did it now....

I've been bumpin' that for quite a while now.
"Overture (yes the opening)," "Queen of My Soul", "Love Your Life," "I'm the One,"
and "A Love of your Own" are also favs of mine from off that one.

Fellas get your lady and some moderately priced wine and put on "A Love Of Your Own.'

That whole CD is great.
