Garland Jeffreys (born 1943, Brooklyn, New York) is a part African-American, and Puerto Rican American, singer and songwriter, transversing the musical genres of rock and roll, reggae, blues and soul.
Jeffreys is from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. He majored in arts at Syracuse University where he met Lou Reed, before The Velvet Underground became active. In 1966, Jeffreys played in Manhattan nightclubs. Grinder's Switch, a group founded by him in 1969, released one album before breaking up in 1970. Jeffreys played guitar on John Cale's 1969 debut solo album Vintage Violence and contributed the song "Fairweather Friend".
In 1973, he released his first solo album, Garland Jeffreys, on Atlantic Records. Around the same time Atlantic also released a single, "Wild in the Streets", that was not included on the album. The track received airplay on the progressive FM album-oriented rock stations, and has become one of his best-known songs. Later, in 1977 when Garland recorded his Ghost Writer album for A&M Records, with the Atlantic Records version of "Wild in the Streets" included on side two.
"Wild in the Streets" has been covered by several musicians, including:
* The Circle Jerks, on their album Wild in the Streets
* Chris Spedding, on the album Hurt
* British Lions, on their album British Lions
* Hot Water Music, on the album Til the Wheels Fall Off

ANt moments any would like to share from that celebration & benefit for Arthur...sadly Arthur passed not long afterwards.
