The J. Geils Band was an American rock band formed in 1967, in Worcester, Massachusetts, under the leadership of guitarist John "J." Geils. The original band members included vocalist Peter Wolf, harmonica and saxophone player Richard "Magic Dick" Salwitz, drummer Stephen Bladd, vocalist/keyboardist Seth Justman, and bassist Danny Klein. Wolf and Justman served as principal songwriters. The band played R&B-influenced blues rock during the 1970s and soon achieved commercial success before moving toward a more mainstream radio-friendly sound in the early 1980s, which brought the band to its commercial peak. They performed a mix of cover songs of classic blues and R&B songs, along with original compositions written by primarily by Wolf and Justman, as well as some group compositions written under the pseudonymous name Juke Joint Jimmy, representing compositions credited to the entire band as a whole. After Wolf left the band in 1983 to pursue a solo career, the band released one more album in 1984 with Justman on lead vocals, before breaking up in 1985.   The band first released several Top 40 singles in the early 1970s, including a cover of the song "Lookin' for a Love" by The Valentinos (which reached No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972), as well as the single "Give It to Me" (No. 30 in 1973). Their biggest hits included "Must of Got Lost" (No. 12 in 1975), "Come Back" (No. 32 in 1980), "Love Stinks" (which reached No. 38 in 1980 and was featured in several films), "Centerfold" (No. 1 in 1982), and "Freeze-Frame" (No. 4 in 1982).
Bloodshot is the third studio album by American rock band The J. Geils Band. The album was released on April 12, 1973, by Atlantic Records. It was the breakthrough release for the band, reaching #10 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States, a peak that the band would not surpass until their 1981 multi-platinum album Freeze Frame. The single version of "Give it to Me", which had a very different ending from the album version, reached #30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 
Hotline is their sixth studio album. The album was released on September 9, 1975, by Atlantic Records. The intro of "Believe in Me" also became the intro tune to the German Rockpalast rock events.
Monkey Island is their seventh studio album, though it is credited with the shortened band name of "Geils", the only album in their catalog that this was done. The album was released on June 9, 1977, by Atlantic Records.
Sanctuary is their eighth studio album. The album was released in November 1978 and is the first released by EMI Records. Cash Box said that the single "Take It Back" is "good-time rock 'n' roll" with "a swinging handclap beat, pithy piano fills, [and] Magic Dick harmonica licks." Record World praised the organ and harmonica playing
You're Gettin' Even While I'm Gettin' Odd is their eleventh and final studio album and the only one recorded without singer Peter Wolf. The band's keyboardist Seth Justman produced the album, did all the song and horn arrangements, wrote all the songs with lyrical help from Paul Justman, and provided the majority of the album's lead vocals, with drummer Stephen Jo Bladd singing lead on three tracks. Compared to the band's earlier works, which leaned towards a more live rock band sound, You're Gettin' Even While I'm Gettin' Odd emphasizes dubbing and production. The album was released on October 5, 1984, by EMI Records. The album contained one single, "Concealed Weapons", which peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Lights Out is the debut solo album by Peter Wolf, released in 1984. The album was dedicated "to the memory of Edith Marie Hasselman and Edward Mant Hood" and features the hit title track.
