[secret squirrel]

Of the J. Geils Band has died, aged 71. I couldn't remember their big hit and had to look it up. Centerfold. Or Angel of the Centerfold is how I remember it.

"Centerfold" was huge back then and the video got a lot of airplay on MTV. I still remember some of it. "Freeze Frame" was also a big hit. They were fairly popular during the 70s, too and at one point, the Eagles opened for them.

RIP John Warren Geils, Jr.

RIP to J. Geils. :( There were another group my Dad was a huge fan of. The radio only tends to play "Centerfold" and "Freeze Frame" but he had some of their albums so I knew a lot more of their other songs.

I remember "Centerfold"... it was catchy and it had a really memorable video that was still being played when I started watching MTV in 1987.

RIP.

J was a very underrated player IMO, great blues background and played for the song.

RIP.
