“Give It To Me” by J. Geils Band
From the album Bloodshot (1973)
“Give It To Me” by J. Geils Band appears on 13 radio countdowns from 6 stations between 1997 and 2026. It was first released in 1973 on the album Bloodshot. Its best result is #138 on the 100.7 WZLX Firecracker 500 (2013). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #5,966 indie & aaa song of all time.
"Give It to Me" rode out of Bloodshot, the J. Geils Band's third album, which Atlantic released on April 12, 1973, and which broke the band. The single wasn't quite the album track: it wrapped up with a very different ending, and in that shape Cash Box had it at No. 15 while Billboard's Hot 100 took it to No. 30.
The album itself reached No. 10 on the Billboard 200, a height the band wouldn't top until Freeze Frame in 1981. Original US copies came pressed on red vinyl rather than black, with retro Atlantic labels in matching red; the band stuck with those throwback labels, in a new color for each album, for the rest of its time on Atlantic.
