Anyone like the Average White Band? They've been sampled by a lot of rappers

Oh man, that would be a good show. This guy I was talking to at the vinyl store I go to told me he saw them live a couple years back, got his album signed. Only 2 original members though.

Just checked on the Jazz Cafe website, and its actually May they are playing. Oh well, a little longer wait than I thought, but ii'll definitely still be checking them out. Whats that joint of their's that everyone and their mother has sampled?
