JALN Band

UK home-grown black music band from the 1970's. Dabbled in disco / funk / reggae in the mid to late 1970's - and became very popular in the UK. Biggest hit was "Disco music (I like it)" which is very good (it was also the first 12" single on the Magnet label). Listen for their Parliament-styled p-funk tracks; along "Life is a fight", their version of Fatback's "Street dance", and "Get up".

J.A.L.N. stands for "Just another lonely night".
