AWB SHOULD BE FAAWB (FAR ABOVE AVERAGE WHITE BAND)

"I RECENTLY ORDERED THIS DISC BECAUSE I WANT TO WRITE THE SONG "WHATCHA GONNA DO FOR ME" FOR A HIGH SCHOOL BAND IN BALTIMORE. I CAN REMEMBER SEEING CHAKA KHAN AND RUFUS DO IT IN NEW YORK AT THE SAVOY YEARS AGO, AND YOU KNOW SHE SMOKED IT. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT UP CLOSE, HOW COULD SHE NOT. YOU CAN'T TAKE A FUNK SONG, FROM A BAND LIKE AWB, AND DO IT WRONG.ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE LIKES OF HAMISH STEWART APPLYING HIS MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE TO BOTH BANDS. MY AWB COLLECTION IS ALMOST COMPLETE, BUT THIS IS THE ONE THAT I WAS WAITING THE MOST FOR. AFTER THIS, I'LL ORDER "SHINE", THE ALBUM THAT THIS SONG ORIGINALLY APPEARED ON, AND I'LL BE A HAPPY MAN."
