The next Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast features a rare conversation with Inductee Garland Jeffreys and LIMEHOF Vice Chairman Tom Needham which previously aired on Long Island’s The “Sounds of Film” on WUSB.
Garland Jeffreys is a genre-defying artist whose music reflects his rich heritage as a child of Black, white, and Puerto Rican ancestry. Raised in Brooklyn during the 1950s, Jeffreys absorbed influences ranging from R&B and early rock and roll to iconic voices like Kate Smith. His career began in the folk scene, performing in legendary Greenwich Village venues before recording his first album with Grinder’s Switch in 1970.
As a solo artist, Jeffreys released his self-titled debut in 1973, featuring collaborators like Dr. John. That same year, he introduced his timeless anthem, ‘Wild in the Streets.’ In 1981, he charted with his cover of ‘96 Tears’ and later explored themes of love, race, and identity in albums like ‘Guts for Love’ (1983) and ‘Don’t Call Me Buckwheat’ (1992). His 2017 release, ‘14 Steps to Harlem,’ combines autobiographical storytelling with tributes to his friendships with Lou Reed, Bob Marley, and John Lennon.
Garland Jeffreys’ music continues to inspire, earning him a place among the most innovative voices in rock and soul.
