About
The Jaggerz are an American rock band from Pittsburgh. They came to national attention with their single "The Rapper" which was released on the Kama Sutra label. "The Rapper" was No. 1 in the Record World Charts and No. 2 in the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1970. Having sold over one million copies, the recording received a gold record awarded by the R.I.A.A.
The band's name derives from the Western Pennsylvania English term, "jagger," meaning any small, sharp-pointed object, typically thorns, spines, and prickles. They were managed by The Skyliners manager, Joe Rock.

The Jaggerz est un groupe américain de rock, formé en 1965 à Pittsburgh. Après un premier 45 tours sans succès (Baby I Love You), ils se font connaître grâce à l'album We Went to Different Schools Together (en) qui contient la chanson The Rapper (en) sortie en 1970, vendue à plus d'un million d'exemplaires (disque d'or de la RIAA) et qui se classera no 1 dans le classement de Record World et no 2 au Billboard Hot 100. Après cet album, le groupe ne rencontrera plus d'autres grands succès et son chanteur, Donnie Iris (en), tentera une carrière indépendante des Jaggerz.
