Does anyone know the title or artist to this song?

Question

It was either in the late 60's or early 70's, and it was an instrumental track that had a brass section that was just tearing it up. There was a guitar playing a single note accompanyment and it had a shuffle feel to it. Imagine if Wild Cherry's "Play that funky Music" and Young Holt Unlimited's "Soulful Strut" got together and had a baby.

I've heard it in movies, television, and occasionaly on classic rock radio...I'm pretty sure it was a 70's hit.

Help! It's stuck in my head!


PS: It's not Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.

I don't think there were many Brass Section Instrumental songs that were hits in the 70's. Its pretty unique...so I can't imaine getting more descriptive. If I knew more, I wouldn't be desperately asking here!

Turns out it was Average White Band's "Picking up the pieces"

Thanks everyone, I already have it downloaded and blaring on my computer.

Answer 1

Pick up the Pieces?

Answer 2

The song "Tequila", by The Champs, is entirely instrumental, and is a 70's pop hit. It consists of a brass section, and a shuffling mono-note guitar riff.

However, this description leaves the possibility of many other tracks.

Answer 3

Brass from that period might be a band called Blood, Sweat and Tears hard to pick out more from your description of the tune, could you lean a bit closer to the monitor and hum a few bars for us?

Answer 4

You're gonna have to get a whole lot better at describing than that.

Answer 5

nope
