Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels

Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels were a hard rocking band from the Motor City. What set them apart from most other groups was that the majority of their hit songs were actually done in medley style. They combined two songs into one big hit.

They scored four Top Ten hits over the two year span of 1967 - 1968.

Thus week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels and two of their biggest hits: Jenny Take A Ride! (a medley of Little Richard's Jenny Jenny and Chuck Willis's C.C. Rider) and Sock It To Me-Baby!

Come to the Voice Your Choice page and cast your vote for your preferred song and we'll play the one with the most votes in Hour 3 of this week's show.
