A little more information on two groups who were in Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots show from Oct. 7, 2012, when he went back to that date in 1966.
MITCH RYDER & THE DETROIT WHEELS--
Mitch Ryder born Feb. 26, 1945, as William S. Levise, Jr. Sand like Little Richard and had a dynamic stage show. One website calls him the Unsung Hero of Michigan Rock and Roll Wynona Ryder took the "Ryder" as a stage name after seeing and Mitch Ryder album in her father's collection. Bob Crewe managed the group.
Great garage Rock and Blue-Eyed Soul. Big hits were "Devil With the Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly" which Stroud played and hit #4 on the national charts. Others were "Sock It To me"#6, "Jenny Take a Ride" #10 and "Too Many Fish in the Sea,"
COUNT FIVE--
Psychedelic/Garage Rock band out of San Jose, California, that started in 1964. Their "Psychotic Reaction" which Stroud played, reached #6 in 1966, their only song to ever crack the Top 100, so a true One-Hit Winder. Broke up one year later. reunited in 1989 for one concert.
