The J. Geils Band was an American rock band formed in 1967 in Worcester, Massachusetts, that had a successful R&B-influenced blues-rock sound in TheSeventies, before moving towards a more pop-influenced sound in TheEighties, which brought them Creastor/{{MTV}} airplay and a series of hit singles. Founder member J. Geils died in April 2017.

** Since 2012, the band has been touring with Wolf...but without Geils, despite the whole "band literally named after him" thing. Geils sued the band for performing a short tour without him, the case was thrown out of court and he quit the band in acrimony.

* TemporaryNameChange: * For the 1977 record, ''Monkey Island'', the band shortened their name to just "Geils". They changed it back on the following record.

my memory has just been sold,\\
my angel is the centerfold,\\
