Centerfold is a single released by The J. Geils Band from their album Freeze Frame. The song is about a man who is shocked to discover that his high school crush appeared in a centerfold spread for a men's magazine. The song could be a reference to actress Angel Tompkins' relationship with Peter Wolf. It was released in autumn 1981, and eventually went to Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in February 1982, and stayed there for six weeks. It was the first single released from the album Freeze Frame and was an early staple on MTV. The band's lead singer Peter Wolf revealed on In the Studio with Redbeard that "Angel in Blue" was going to be the album's first single. Then during the Angel in Blue video shoot, Peter got a call from the president of EMI America Records suggesting that the band release Centerfold as the first single from Freeze Frame instead. In February 1983, a year after the song hit #1 in the US, Centerfold peaked at number three in the UK Top 40, earning The J. Geils Band their only major hit single in the UK, although follow-up Freeze-Frame was a minor hit. The song lists at #52 on Billboard's All Time Top Songs. The song appears in the music video game Rock Band 3. [1]
