The Average White Band formed in 1972 and released their first album, Show Your Hand, the following year. After it failed to break through, the group shortened its name to AWB and released a self-titled album in 1974. This song from that album not only broke through, but became a surprise hit in the US, catapulting AWB to stardom almost overnight. Later in 1974, drummer and founding member Robbie McIntosh died of a drug overdose at a Hollywood party. Since then, Average White Band has reunited for the occasional obscure album and/or tour. In 2005 they re-recorded "Pick Up The Pieces" along with several other of their older songs for a CD titled Greatest And Latest. The original version of this song has been sampled by a number of rap and hip-hop artists, and has also often been played at sporting events.

I love Average White Band's song, "Pick Up the Pieces," but discovered the rest of the 2 CD collection was a bit too dated. If you like 70s music, perhaps you'll enjoy the entire collection. 2 people found this helpful.
