Pick up the Pieces

PICK UP THE PIECES
 
 
“Pick Up the Pieces”  is a 1974 song by the Average White Band from their second album, AWB.  On the single, songwriting credit was given to founding member and saxophonist Roger Ball and guitarist Hamish Stuart individually and the entire band collectively.  It is essentially an instrumental, apart from the song’s title being shouted at several points in the song.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Pick Withers’ replacement in the Primitives, Robbie McIntosh had been playing with Brian Auger in Italy.  McIntosh is from Scotland and later turned up in the Scottish band Average White Band, who had a million-selling hit in 1974 with “Pick up the Pieces”.
