Soul Tattoo (Clear Vinyl)

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.

Following an eight year hiatus, Average White Band returned in 1996, recording 'Soul Tattoo', the Band's 12 th album, at Daryl Hall's studio in New York State.

'Soul Tattoo' includes the single 'Back To Basics', with Hall & Oates collaborator Klyde Jones, on lead vocals on 'Every Beat Of My Heart', and Daryl Hall appearing on 'I Wanna Be Loved', which was co written with Alan Gorrie.
