Average White Band – Pick Up the Pieces
From the counter

Six writers on "Pick Up the Pieces" share a line on the "Ghetto Thang" credits with Posdnuos, Maseo, Dave and Prince Paul, so this is where that track's foundation was poured. Play the 1973 original, then go find what Herbie Mann and Candy Dulfer did with it.
