Award-winning film-maker Anthony Baxter, is creating a new documentary about the extraordinary life and times of the Average White Band.
AWB, topped the Billboard charts in 1975 with Pick Up the Pieces, which has become one of the most-played records in music history.
And the documentary maker’s new project will celebrate the 50th anniversary of that song, which has featured in everything from Hollywood films to TV adverts and The Simpsons.
The group, who were founded by Malcolm “Molly” Duncan from Montrose and Alan Gorrie from Perth, enjoyed massive success with hits including Pick Up the Pieces, Cut the Cake, Queen of My Soul, Work to Do and Let’s Go Round Again.
But many US radio stations originally thought they were black musicians because of their sound.
It didn’t hinder the Scots, who worked with or inspired such luminaries as Ben E. King, Chaka Khan and James Brown.
Home town favorite to open for Average White Band Farewell Concert….
