A while back, someone started a thread about awesome sax solos...

I listed the one in "Pick Up the Pieces" as my favorite! music


"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Dude i want to get that AWB Live Person to Person album. I saw it on cd a few years back for

14-17 dollars on Amazon but i would like to get lucky and find it on a vinyl dig. If you think

AWB's regular version of If I Ever Lose This Heaven is good you would need to check out the

live version on Person to Person.

lol I knew I'd forgotten a song or two, 'Person To Person" is one ..

I'm lucky to still have the very first one I've ever owned. I'd love to run up on a copy in VG condition myself. I've come across several copies of the 'Person To Person' LP on CD, all for 7.99 at a local used CD store in my neighborhood.

That Person To Person LP was like a security blanket, when I was spinnin' in the Clubs.

..Don't give up the hunt, keep on diggin'.

Right On! I'm hip, that's why I listed Cloudy. The Live version of Cloudy and School Boy Crush were jus' fiyah, as is the entire album.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Love that album..."Goin' Home" & "Love Your Life" are killer! & The title track is very close 2 soul perfection, if there's such a thang... Long live AWB.

They had some great funk and one of the sexiest slow jams ever, "A Love Of My Own". Definately a great group and nothing "average" about them.

Andy is a four letter word.
