Biography

Hard rock band from New York, New York, USA, that was formed in 1977. The band was primarily known for its hit single [Link] from 1977. But [Link] was released two years earlier by [a=Starstruck (10)] - a band [a=Bill Bartlett (2)] played in before Ram Jam was formed around him. The Ram Jam version of the song is no new recording of the song, but an edited and re-arranged version of the Starstruck version from 1975. In 1991, producers Kasenetz-Katz revived the name, releasing a hip-house single on a revived version of their Super K Records label and a hard rock album in France under the name. For that incarnation, see [a925851].
