Best answer

Both the song and the name -- which stood for "Above Average Black Band" -- were a tribute to and tongue-in-cheek reply to the then-popular Scottish funk group, the Average White Band (Also known as AWB) and its #1 hit single, "Pick Up the Pieces". The band members were the J.B.s which were James Browns backing group.
