The J. Geils Band started as an acoustic blues trio in the mid 1960s with singer and guitarist John Geils, bassist Danny. Geils Band's self-titled debut serves notice that rock & roll wasn't dead in 1970 despite the best efforts of the singer/songwriter brigade. Though it sounds a bit reserved in the light of the albums that followed, compared to the majority of bands on the scene, it was a nonstop blast of energy, fun, and sweat

The J Geils Blues Band were formed in 1967, but had become simply the J Geils Band by the time of their eponymous debut album in 1970. It became a local hit in the Boston area and the band were soon hoovering up legions of fans with a relentless schedule of live performances. They had their first US Top 40 hit with Looking for a Love (1971), scored their first US Top 10 album with Bloodshot (1973) – which also supplied the Top 30 hit Give It to Me – and were back in the US Top 30 with the album Nightmares. and Other Tales from the Vinyl Jungle (1974)

The group's second album, The Morning After, appeared later that year and, thanks to the Top 40 hit "Looking for a Love," the album expanded the band's following. However, the J. Geils Band continued to win new fans primarily through their concerts, so it was no surprise that their third album, 1972's Full House, was a live set. It was followed by Bloodshot, a record that climbed into the Top Ten on the strength of the Top 40 hit "Give. In 1978, the J. Geils Band left Atlantic Records for EMI, releasing Sanctuary later that year. Sanctuary slowly gained a following, becoming their first gold album since Bloodshot. Love Stinks (1980) expanded the group's following even more, peaking at number 18 in the charts and setting the stage for 1981's Freeze Frame, the band's high-water mark.
