Following the dissolution of Mott The Hoople (before and after a few reunion tours), Hunter achieved solo success with "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" (the song that later propelled Great White to fame) and "Cleveland Rocks" (the cover version of which performed by alternative rockers The Presidents of the United States of America became the theme song for the ABC TV series The Drew Carey Show). The ban's most well-known recording is the David Bowie-penned and produced "All the Young Dudes" which was released on the 1972 Columbia Records album of the same name. Mott The Hoople successfully mixed rock 'n' roll with glam, early punk, R&B, and a bit of neo-soul. Ian Hunter made his bones first as the lead singer of the Mott The Hoople, an English rock band. During this time, the band released the Top 40 singles "Love Stinks," "Come Back," "Angel In Blue," "Freeze-Frame" and the #1 smash "Centerfold." Geils Band found a whole new fanbase with the release of Love Stinks (EMI Records, 1980) and Freeze Frame (EMI Records, 1981). Geils Band's reputation as one of the greatest live acts of any era. Blow Your Face Out (Atlantic Records, 1976), the live double record release, cemented the J. in 1973, Bloodshot (Atlantic Records), the group's fourth album, propelled by the songs "(Ain't Nothin' But A) House Party," "Southside Shuffle" and "Give It to Me," became its commercial breakthrough, reaching #10 on the U.S. This album featured what are currently the live show staples: "First I Look at the Purse," "Pack Fair and Square," "Homework" and "Hard Drivin' Man." Over the next few years, tracks on the band's ensuing albums began to receive radio airplay. In late 1970, Atlantic Records released the band's eponymously titled debut album. By 1970, it had signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records. By 1970, the little group had evolved and now included the Bronx, NY-born Peter Wolf (born Peter Blankenfeld) on vocals, organist Seth Justman and drummer Stephen Jo Bladd.

Geils Band came to prominence first in the early 1970s with its R&B-influenced blues rock sound and then again in the 1980s when it shifted its focus toward a more new wave approach.
