Playing their own brand of soul, Scotland's Average White Band rocketed to fame and fortune in late 1974 with their absolute classic eponymous second album, usually known as the 'White Album', and the accompanying single 'Pick Up The Pieces', an instantly recognizable and perennial classic, and a staple of 'gold' radio stations around the world. Both the album and single reached No. 1 on the US pop charts – in the UK, both reached No. 6.
