Editing Average White Band (section)

===Later career===
After several more albums, "Warmer Communications" (1978), "Feel No Fret" (1979) and after a switch to the U.S. Arista label, "Shine" (1980) and "Cupid's In Fashion" (1982), AWB's audience and sales dwindled. The group initially disbanded by 1983. Their 1980 [[disco]] hit "[[Let's Go Round Again]]" (UK No. 12),<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book|first=David|last=Roberts|year=2006|title=British Hit Singles & Albums|edition=19th|publisher=Guinness World Records Limited|location=London|isbn=1-904994-10-5|page=34}}</ref> was [[cover version|covered]] in the late 1990s by [[Louise Nurding|Louise]].

Ferrone went on to work with [[Duran Duran]] and later with [[Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers]] from 1994 until Petty's death in 2017. Hamish Stuart joined [[Paul McCartney]]'s touring group.<ref name="AMG"/> In 1985 Gorrie released a solo album, ''Sleepless Nights''.

The classic lineup of Gorrie, McIntyre, Ball, Stuart, Duncan and Ferrone reunited for one last time at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary in 1988. Gorrie, McIntyre, and Ball then continued in 1989 to record ''[[Aftershock (Average White Band album)|Aftershock]]''.<ref name="LarkinSM">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Who's Who of Soul Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1993|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-733-9|pages=12/3}}</ref> [[Alex Ligertwood]] (ex-[[Santana (band)|Santana]], [[Jeff Beck Group]] and another veteran of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express) also appeared on this album, replacing lead singer Hamish Stuart, along with Eliot Lewis who co-wrote with Gorrie and joined the band. Ligertwood left after the album's recording and drummer Tiger McNeil joined for the reunited band's live shows. McNeil was with the group until 1994. He was then succeeded by Peter Abbott (ex-[[Blood, Sweat & Tears]]), who in turn was replaced by Fred "Catfish" Alias in September 1998. Drummer [[Adam Deitch]] did a two-year stint with AWB from 1999 to 2001.

Average White Band has continued recording (1997's ''Soul Tattoo'', 1999's ''Face to Face'') and touring since. Ball worked on ''Soul Tattoo'' with the group but was replaced by Fred Vigdor (aka Freddy V.) in 1996.

Brian Dunne took over the drum chair in 2001 and when Eliot Lewis left the band in September 2002 to pursue other musical opportunities (including a stint with [[Hall and Oates]]), he was replaced by Klyde Jones.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.averagewhiteband.com|title=Averagewhiteband.com|publisher=Averagewhiteband.com|access-date=17 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718152311/http://www.averagewhiteband.com/|archive-date=18 July 2011|url-status=live}}</ref>

Their line-up as of 2002 became Alan Gorrie (bass guitar, guitar, lead and backing vocals), Klyde Jones (keyboards, bass guitar, guitar, lead and backing vocals), Onnie McIntyre (guitar, vocals), Freddy V (sax, keyboards, vocals), and Brian Dunne (drums).

Dunne was replaced by Rocky Bryant as drummer as of the 2006 tour. After Jones left in 2011 to join Hall and Oates, Monte Croft (keyboards, bass, guitar) and former [[Earth, Wind & Fire]] member [[Morris Pleasure]] (keyboards, bass, guitar) came in to do brief stints before Rob Aries arrived in 2013.

Brent Carter (ex-[[Tower of Power]]) has been singing with AWB since 2011.

In July 2015, Malcolm 'Molly' Duncan, Steve Ferrone and Hamish Stuart reunited to form The 360 Band. This is in essence one half of the classic AWB. They released an album titled ''Three Sixty'' in 2017 and performed live together along with supporting musicians. As of 2019, Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre are the only two original members left in the Average White Band.

Original tenor sax player Molly Duncan died on 8 October 2019, shortly after it had been announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/17984174.obituary-molly-duncan-tenor-saxophonist-co-founder-average-white-band/|title=Obituary: Molly Duncan, tenor saxophonist and co-founder of the Average White Band|newspaper=[[The Herald (Glasgow)|The Herald]]|access-date=14 August 2021}}</ref>

In June 2023, AWB announced their final tour, Let's Go Round Again One Last Time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/business_hq/23542847.legendary-band-average-white-band-tour-scotland-for-one-last-time/|title=Legendary band Average White Band to tour Scotland 'for one last time'|date=23 May 2023|website=HeraldScotland}}</ref> "That it's finally coming to an end is going to mean a highly emotional tour next year, but one which will mean we bow out at the top level," Gorrie said. "Please join us in a final celebration of that journey, and to a last hurrah of epic proportions with your presence and your aye-ready appreciation!"<ref>{{cite news|url=https://nypost.com/article/average-white-band-tour-2023-where-to-buy-tickets-schedule/|title=Average White Band tour 2023: Where to buy tickets, schedule|last=Levy|first=Matt|date=23 May 2023|work=New York Post|accessdate=15 July 2023}}</ref>
