Death stinks. PU

Rest in peace, John.

John's namesake band released their first album in 1970. Their first big hit, "Love Stinks" came in 1980, and they finally scored a number one with "Centerfold" in 1981. The album it came from, "Freeze Frame," was also number one for 4 weeks, and stayed on the charts for 70 weeks.

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.

Rest in peace. One of my favorite songs of 1977-78

Sad news. I saw them once in the spring of 1971, just as they were breaking out big. Great show, and their first few albums were outstanding.

Rest in peace, sir.

I remember buying his Full House LP back in the 70s and the First I Look at the Purse track. RIP J. Geils
