"They were young, spunky and fresh, and the J. Geils Band rocked harder and better than any of their contemporaries in the 1970s and ‘80s. The J. Geils band was a bar band to the max, busting out energetic sing-along songs and rousing covers of soul tunes in their time, having fun while attracting the eyes and ears of Americans across the nation.The J. Geils Band was different than other rock & rollers because the group ignored the psychedelia and British-inspired hype circulating the rock industry at the time. The band took on members like water to a sinking ship through the years, but the J. Geils Band was initially the product of guitarist J. Geils, bassist Danny Klein and harpist Magic Dick in the mid-‘60s, originally a blues band before exploring swaggering rock music. With the addition of drummer Stephen Jo Bladd, vocalist Peter Wolf and organist Seth Justman, the J. Geils band exploded on scene, inking a record deal with Atlantic in 1970. The Boston-based band lit up the East Coast with their eponymous debut album in 1970, receiving raving reviews from Rolling Stone, among others. The Morning After, released in 1970 also, was a surefire crowd-pleaser, and the band got their first Top Ten hit with ""Give It to Me"" in 1972. ""Must of God Lost"" quickly followed, and the hit albums just kept pouring in. Love Stinks in 1980 was a classic boogie rock album, and the smash single ""Centerfold"" in 1981 proved to be J. Geils Band's most successful, earning the coveted number one slot on the charts and getting massive airtime on MTV for the music video, as well. The early ‘80s were the J. Geils Band's best years in terms of musical success, but relationship problems put a damper on the group's success, and the band eventually broke up in 1985."
