Hello and thanks for your good deeds, sir! I'd love to watch/listen to your reaction on Van Morrison's track "Summertime in England" on the album Common One , there's everything in it..! Keep on spreading!

[@djhrecordhound4391]

G pronounced like it is in 'go', and Geils rhymes with miles. J. Geils Band was a blues-rock band out of (EDIT: Someone corrected me saying it's Boston, NOT Detroit, much appreciated!) Their best work was on Atlantic Records throughout the 70s. "Freeze Frame" was their first pop album success after moving to EMI-America Records. The title track and "Centerfold" were the band's last hits. (Btw, their first EMI hit was "Love Stinks") Singer Peter Wolf went solo and had another pop hit with "Lights Out".

[@stevefarms7494]

You should try it freeze frame from the same band

[@ramonarellano4988]

Me and some friends in Los Angeles went to see that band in Hollywood , but some Irish boys opened for them before , and we had enough , we went home right after that band played , thinking God , what was that

[@ramonarellano4988]

The name of that band was U2 , a band that nobody knows by now , lol.

[@Irockthere4]

One of the greatest live rock r&b bands of all time. Peter Wolf the singer could dance AND talk, he was s DJ. His college roommate was film director David Lynch. Also Peter was married to Bonnie and Clyde actress Faye Dunaway. When they divorced, Peter wrote their hit, “ Love Stinks”. J. Geils was the guitar player.

This song was an absolute radio and MTV staple back in the day. Love it!!!

[@IggyStardust1967]

@@yomogami4561 Yeah, that was her alright. She took a bit of extra pride in the fact that she was the first VJ to appear in a music video. You know, doing some Googling, a lot of people ARE claiming it wasn't her. If that's really the case, then she took credit back then for something she didn't do. I was a teenager when MTV came on the air(in fact, I had been channel surfing and caught Video Killed the Radio Star as it was playing for the first time on the channel. I literally stopped changing channels and watched that video, somehow knowing that I was seeing something I'd never seen before that would change my life), and watched it religiously until it got to be more "reality shows" than music. I would literally watch from the time I got home from school until the wee hours of the morning(had to pay for an extra cable box back then, and they weren't cheap). I very much recall her talking about it during her show(the hours she was the VJ) whenever the video came on. I am going to do some digging, because I always loved her as a VJ. While I don't expect people to be perfect, if I find out for sure that she lied to us, that will tarnish her name with me forever. Not that a liar would care, though.... You know, now I *REALLY* wish I still had all of those VHS tapes from back then.... When my wife and I moved into a much smaller house, I had to leave all but a very small number behind as trash. No exaggeration, I had over 5000 video tapes, and brought less than a dozen with me(not counting VHS-C camcorder tapes). I know I had hundreds of tapes I recorded from MTV. I have loved the format of music videos since I first discovered them. Hell, on iTunes, I have well over 300 of them now. Sorry for the long reply, but I do hope it gives some insight into why I made the claim. I will look into this further.

This goes out to anyone who "knows what a J Geils party is all about". Check out some of the live footage. (Early 70s to 80s) Greatest live shows EVER!

[@bernardcoombs1778]

Please, review some Garth Brooks songs. My favorites are: "Shameless", "Thunder Rolls", "Long Neck Bottle", "The River" & "Friends in Low Places (Live version)".

[@aebalc]

Yeah, those will get removed in minutes. Garth does not allow his stuff on KZbin.

[@RockFan89]

Hahaha. I remember being about 6 or 7 in the early 80s and going to roller rinks on the weekends, and this song playing. It wasnt til I was much older that I realized what he was singing about.

[@wolfpac1970]

Not sure if this helps, but it's pronounced Guile like the military character in Street Fighter 2. Fun fact, Peter Wolf is the singers name and J. Geils is the lead guitarist.

[@MickLoud999]

Hey you forgot the harp player "Magic Dick"!!!!

[@randombotdude2083]

I just said Gile, cuz it sounds like that too

[@musicairplanes4884]

Being at a J. Geils concert was always an experience!! Peter Wolf was amazing.

J Geils Band, "give it to me:

[@sipesthebest128]

I'm old enough to remember how hot this song was in the winter of '81 and into the spring of '82. HS days in Phoenix cruising around MetroCenter and every Friday night at Golf 'n Stuff. The title track to this album (Freeze-Frame) and Flamethrower are also killer tracks. J Geils Band is simply good music and fun to listen to as well.

Okay, LOL, before I even watch, I'm going to say "No Anchovies, Please".

Saw them open for the Stones in 1981 or 82 at the Frankfurt Fest hall in Germany. Great show!!!

[@causticchameleon7861]

It’s about a guy who grows up to see his high school crush in the centerfold of a girlie magazine like playboy and such.

[@NOLAgenX]

In addition to Freeze Frame, Love Stinks and Musta Got Lost are classic hits if theirs to react to. Great reaction as always! J Geils was an awesome band, bringing high energy. On their ‘81 European tour, the Stones had the J Geils Band opening for them.

"Indian Reservation" by Paul Revere and the Raiders

[@junebugg68]

My high school's sports teams were the Indians, and home games were said to be played at The Reservation. This was the go-to song for the band for any occasion.
