Jamiroquai are an English funk and acid jazz band from London. 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, they have addressed social and environmental justice. The band made their debut under Acid Jazz Records, but they 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, Synkronized and A Funk Odyssey. The band's 1998 single, "Deeper Underground", was also number one in their native country. Jamiroquai has sold more than 26 million albums worldwide as of 2017. Their third album, Travelling Without Moving, received a Guinness World Record for the best-selling funk album in history. (Full article...)

Reasons for nomination: I chose this date because it is the birthday of their front-man Jay Kay. I've rewritten and expanded this article into featured status, and it is the band's first FA and they've never had a higher feat on the front page other than their DYK here: Wikipedia:Recent_additions/2018/May#7_May_2018.
