Back to 1974 for some Scottish soul and funk.
The tune we're featuring by these guys was a B-side to their big hit single in 1974 called Pick Up the Pieces.
I always wondered why the record company didn't release this one as a single on its own.
I think it would have done very well.
It actually did make the Discos as a single that same year.
Originally released by the Isley Brothers in 1972, here's the [F#] average white [D#] band with work to do on Flashback [A#] Favorites.
