Yesterday, I posted about a performer that was a rock star who later had a successful radio show. Today, the opposite is true. Peter Wolf, lead singer of the J. Geils Band, was a high profile DJ for WBCN in Boston during their rise to prominence in the late 60's. Soon, though, Peter turned his attentions to his band. The J. Geils Band would go on to have a great career throughout the 70's and into the mid-80's.
The keys to this band's success was their high energy live shows and their charismatic lead singer. Both are on display here on their cover of the Smokey Robinson penned "First I Look at the Purse"
