"Wait" by J. Geils Band
The J. Geils Band is synonymous with their #1 smash from 1981, "Centerfold," not realizing that the band had been making music for a decade already as a blues and jam outfit. Driven by Jerome Geils (guitar), Peter Wolf (vocals), and Magic Dick Salwitz (harmonica), the band first entered the charts in 1971 when "Looking For A Love" went to #39. After changing to a more radio-friendly sound and achieving mainstream success in the early 80s, Peter Wolf left to pursue a solo career. J. Geils passed away earlier this year. "Wait" is a terrific cut from their debut 1970 self-titled album.
