    Ram Jam

    Ram Jam is a hard rock band from New York, New York, USA, that was formed in 1977.


    The band was primarily known for its hit single Black Betty from 1977. But actually Black Betty was released two years earlier by [a=Starstruck (10)] - a band, Bill Bartlett played in before Ram Jam was formed around him. Actually 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 undefined.
