AVERAGE WHITE BAND & BEN E. KING BENNY AND US Limited Clear 180gram Heavyweight Vinyl LP

Overview:

Widely and rightly regarded as one of the best ever soul and funk bands, the now legendary average White band tore-up the rule book and conquered the US, UK & international charts with a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980. Awb's repertoire has been a source of inspiration and influence for many R&B acts and they are one of the most sampled bands in history, remaining relevant today, continuing to reach new generations of younger audiences. Snoop Dogg, fatboy Slim, ice Cube, Puff Daddy, TLC, Rick Ross, will.I.Am and Mark Ronson amongst countless others, have all borrowed sections of their grooves. 'Benny and us' Is the 6th album by AWB, who were joined by soul/R&B legend, Ben E. King and originally released in 1977. The album reached #33 in the USA. 'Benny and us' Includes the singles 'get it up for love' (Later covered by tata vega), 'the message', a new version of 'keep in' It to myself' And the classic 'a star in the ghetto'.
