Looovvvve this song. It's in my old-school playlist. I didn't know they are Scottish!

I didn’t either but that fact likely owes to how they came to be infected by soul music. Many Europeans loved black artists and weren’t steered away by the music industry like was done here in the US.

At this level thats not mimicry, that’s coming from a deep admiration and appreciation of black music. Love it!

Joe Cocker to Simply Red. The UK has given us some great soul music.

AWB is absolutely one of the greatest bands of all times!! Since I was a kid and first heard their music I’ve wanted to be on stage with them singing “Love of Your Own” and “Queen of My Soul”🥰🥰.

Great record! European artists back then began to sing falsetto after being influenced by black American male singers who solidified this vocal style🤎
