Mitch Ryder was born William Levise on February 26, 1945 in Detroit, Michigan. The Detroit Wheels consisted of Jim McCarty and Joe Cubert (guitars), Earl Elliott (bass) and John Badanjek (drums). Their success stemmed from taking classic Rock & Roll songs and turning them into a medley, and in many cases, they sure cranked up the juice!
This week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice presents two Top Ten hits by Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels for your votes: Jenny Take A Ride! (a medley of Little Richard's Jenny, Jenny and C.C. Rider by Chuck Willis) and Sock It To Be - Baby! (an expression made famous on the TV show Laugh In).
