Robbie McIntosh
May 6, 1950 – September 23, 1974

Robbie McIntosh was a founding member of and drummer for the Average White Band, possibly the most famous Scottish mostly-White funk band in history.  Their 1973 album AWB was a massive hit and included “Pick Up The Pieces,” one of the signature songs of the era.  Sadly, McIntosh died of a heroin overdose not long after its release. He was just 24.

Thanks to Linda for the assist.
