In 1973, Atlantic released Jeffery's WILD IN THE STREETS. It was not included on his eponymous debut album. Garland wrote the song after hearing about a pre-teen rape and murder in the Bronx.
Dr. John played clavinet and helped arrange the song, with backing from guitarist David Spinozza, drummer Rick Marotta, the Brecker Brothers on horns and David Peel on background vocals.
After the single's rerelease in 1977, the track received airplay on the progressive FM album-oriented rock radio stations, becoming one of his best-known songs and an unofficial anthem for the skate community after the cover by The Circle Jerks was featured in the 1986 film Thrashin'.
