One of the few white bands to experience success in the funk and soul scene of the early and mid 70s, Average White Band created one of their biggest hits, and one of the most recognizable grooves in the funk scene, with "Pick Up the Pieces." Its rhythmic bassline and extremely catchy horn pattern made this a huge hit in the dance club. Although it contains very little lyrics, the music itself makes the listener feel good and want to dance. Average White Band, along with "Pick Up the Pieces," were very influential to the disco scene, as they themselves became part of it when it emerged.
