Just to give you an idea how the big band was in the early '80s -- the Eagles, U2 and Billy Joel all opened for J. Geils on the road

RIP J Geils

Centerfold is one of those classics from the 80's that just

sticks in your head. I like Love Stinks and Freeze Frame too.

I also remember Darcel Wynne twerking to Freeze Frame on

Solid Gold.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Remember Prince's controversial performance as the opener for the Rolling Stones on October 9th, 1981?

Also performing on that same bill was J. Geils Band.

RIP John Warren Geils Jr.

Oh wow! I hadn't even heard. sad

Detroit's ONE and ONLY Electrifying MOJO used to play the hell out of the J. Geils Band. Flamethrower, Freeze Frame, Centerfold...yes...sounds of my youth. Rest well, Mr. Geils. Thank you for the music. rose

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
