"Cut The Cake" was the third album released by Average White Band, released in 1975. This album included the hit single "Cut The Cake", which reached #10 on the Billboard Pop singles chart. The album was considered soul/disco in genre, as opposed to the funk sound of their first two albums. The follow-up album to the immensely successful "AWB" in 1974, recording was plagued by creative and artistic differences, with several members of the band walking out of the studio on three occasions. One point of conflict was the band's mourning for their original drummer, Robbie McIntosh, who died of a heroin overdose in 1974. Producer Arif Mardin considered pulling the plug on the project due to this tension but ultimately relented and oversaw its completion. Average White Band (also known as AWB) is a Scottish funk and R&B band, who had a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980. They have influenced other artistss such as The Brand New Heavies, and been sampled by various musicians including Beastie Boys, TLC, The Beatnuts, Too Short, Ice Cube, Eric B. & Rakim, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, and Arrested Development -- making them the fifteenth most sampled musical act in history. Almost forty years after their formation, they continue to perform. This channel is dedicated to all the great 'old school' R&B music I grew up with, the stuff that originally made me tap my feet and want to be a DJ. Funk, soul, disco, R&B, dance, hip-hop, pop . . . 60s, 70s, 80s . . . whatever you call it, it's all 'Old School' and it's all here!
