nod Dig. The Pure Funk lies with JB hands down with the innovation on the one groove.

Hell yeah,you need to explore their catalog!! I suggest you pick up the albums 'Cut The Cake' (1975) and their masterpiece 'Soul Searching' (1976).

Go get pickin up the pieces: the best of average white band
distributed by rhino. It is their best compilation.
You get person to person, cut the cake, work to do, school boy crush,
queen of my soul, a love of your own which are among their popular songs.
The band stills tour occasionally.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

JB, The Innovator of the on the one groove is where the real Funk lies for those who don't know better than, the need to talk to the man below.

Check out their version of the Chaka Khan's song, "What you gonns for me". Their version is actually the original and is pretty funky, in it's own right.

That is my favorite AWB jam! I too, don't own anything from AWB, but eventually I'll cop a best-of and call it a day. biggrin
