From the April 6-12, 2014, American Profile "Ask American Profile."
The native of Hamtramck, Michigan, 69, has been working on a novel he plans to adapt to a musical, tentatively called Hide Your Love Away. Ryder lives in Detroit and performs about 90 shows a year.
The high-octane rocker and his band, the Detroit Wheels, scored Top Ten hits in the 1960s with "Devil With the Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly," "Sock It to Me Baby" and "Jenny Take a Ride." He wrote and autobiography, "Devil & Blue Dresses" in 2011 and released his latest CD, The Promise" in 2012.
Another favorite performer of mine and one of the ultimate garage/frat rockers ever.

What's Going On With Sam Moore?
From the June 22-28, 2014, American Profile Magazine "Ask American Profile.
Always good to get an update on my favorite 60s acts.
SAM MOORE: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member and Grammy winner, now 78, was half of the soul vocal duo Sam & Dave, and he continues performing, even after the loss of his partner, Dave Prater.1960
The native of Fort Valley, Georgia had big hits in the 1960s with such hits as "Soul Man," "Hold On, I'm Comin' " and "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby." Moore's latest single, "They Killed a King" is a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. at whose rallies and speeches he sometimes performed.
I was huge fan of Sam and Dave and still am. The there songs mentioned were good, but you're not going to believe how great the rest of their songs were. I was fortunate to see them perform together in the 1970s at Chicago's Cubby Bear.
