Robbie McIntosh (1940-1974) was ahighly acclaimed Drummer and founder member of the Average White Band (AWB). Known for his sophisticated, "pocket-heavy" style, he anchored the band's breakthrough hits before his life was tragically cut short.

McIntosh co-founded the Average White Band around 1971–1972. He played on their debut album, Show Your Hand (1973). He laid down the iconic drum groove for the million-selling instrumental track "Pick Up the Pieces", which reached #1 on the US Billboard chart from their self-titled 1974 album AWB.

Before AWB, McIntosh played with Scotland's soul outfit The Senate and Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, appearing on their first three albums. He also contributed to tracks for Chuck Berry (including the hit "My Ding A Ling") and jazz flautist Herbie Mann.

Following his tragic death, he was buried in his hometown at Barnhill Cemetery, Dundee, and Steve Ferrone took over as AWB’s drummer.
