Malcolm "Molly" Duncan (1945–2019) was a Scottish tenor saxophonist renowned for his soulful sound and as a founding member of the Average White Band (AWB). Born in Montrose, Scotland, Duncan's musical journey began at Dundee Art College, where he met future bandmate Roger Ball. Together, they formed the "Dundee Horns," a dynamic duo that became integral to AWB's signature funk and R&B style. Duncan's iconic saxophone solo on the 1974 hit "Pick Up the Pieces" propelled the band to international fame, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Beyond AWB, he collaborated with legends like Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, and Eric Clapton, leaving an indelible mark on the music world.
