Throwing back to the week of February 15, 1975, we find Linda Ronstadt atop the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘You’re No Good.’ I featured the song, Ronstadt’s only #1 hit, a couple of years ago.

At #2 that week was ‘Pick Up the Pieces’ by the Average White Band, a Scottish funk outfit also known as AWB. The track is essentially an instrumental but for the background shouting of the title at various points. A week later the song reached #1, then dropped out of the top five.

Old songs. Great memories.

This was one of two top ten hits for AWB. The second was ‘Cut the Cake,’ which reached #10 later in 1975.
