BALLIN'JACK - "Ballin' The Jack" (1970)

 

Ballin'jack were an awesome funk rock band originally from Seattle. Their first record was self-titled and came out in 1970.

 

Ballin'jack derived their name from the classic 1913 Ragtime tune penned by Jim Burris and Chris Smith. Jim wrote the words, and Chris wrote the music.

Since 1913, the song "Ballin' The Jack" has been recorded by 100's of people. 

Even though Ballin'jack was a fantastic funk rock band they still felt a need to record the song from whence they took their name, and they do it up in style!

Ballin'jack did make the charts in l970 when their song "Super Highway" made it to #93. Despite their obvious talents they just couldn't keep it going.

Maybe the problem was they were just too good!

So, here you go! Where's my flying jet car? Haven't we waited long enough?
