Formed in 1992, they are fronted by vocalist Jay Kay, and were prominent in the London-based funk and acid jazz movement of the 1990s. They built on their acid jazz sound in their early releases and later drew from rock, disco, electronic and Latin music genres. Lyrically, the group has addressed social and environmental justice. Kay has remained as the only original member through several line-up changes.

The band made their debut under Acid Jazz Records but subsequently found mainstream success under Sony. While under this label, three of their albums have charted at number one in the UK, including Emergency on Planet Earth (1993), Synkronized (1999) and A Funk Odyssey (2001). The band's 1998 single, "Deeper Underground", was also number one in their native country.

As of 2017, Jamiroquai had sold more than 26 million albums worldwide. Their third album, Travelling Without Moving (1996), received a Guinness World Record as the best-selling funk album in history. The music video for its lead single, "Virtual Insanity", also contributed to the band's success. The song was named Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and earned the band a Grammy Award in 1998.

I love that this whole album you can hear and feel the funk. Jay's voice is supreme, the band is tight playing funky love music, reggae, jazz, salsa, samba, pop, rock and trippy stuff. And the love of cars in videos and sounds is great. It's understandable as Jay's a huge car collector.

This song was on my mom's exercise mix. I was surprised to find out that not only was this a Jamiroquai song, but that it was from 1993, not the 1970s.

Key boards sound just like Stevie wonders song called black man. Made in the 70s. Jamiroquai steals from everybody .

@nitepatrol1873

8y↑44

Not even man. First off I love that particular SW song and the keys sound nothing like it. Second, Jay Jay kept the style and sound of jazzy funk and disco alive and while everyone else including the Soul Jazz R&B legends moved on and abandoned it. Jamiroquai is totally owns its sound and it's tragic no one else tried like this in the 90's.
