The Jaggerz - Stand In For Love/Please Baby Please

Remembered for 'The Rapper', lots of people don't know this band started out as a blue-eyed soul band in 1965. In 1968 they got on record with Gamble Records of Philly with 'Gotta Find My Way Back Home', and most people assumed them to be a Black group. Then there was 'Rapper' and it didn't matter much. By and large The Jaggerz were, and still are an R&B band. Jimmie Ross has gotten them going again in recent years, and though they might seem a bit more mellow than in the old days, they're still great. This is from the "And The Band Played On' CD, and it's damn good. Happy to say they're from W.Pa., and the pride of Pittsburgh. For Fred, some pics from my backyard. Enjoy a great medley of two of Pgh's favorites (O'Jays/Sensations), as done by this incredible group of guys. I can't play this enough, i just love it.

first off, thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment. the gamble LP was out on CD for a while, you might want to check for it with some east coast dealers.

A great medley! Had no idea these guys still could sound this good (even though this is 10 years old by now.) Jimmie Ross still sounds as good here as he did on the first Jaggerz album (even stepping to the daunting task of handling Billy Maybray's vocal slot on "Stand In...") Thanks for posting this - I'd never heard "Please Baby Please" before and have since sought out the original, which I love! So thanks for turning me on to that via this great version!
