Mitch Ryder - They were Rockin'
Mitch Ryder - All Hits. The back of the record jacket reads, "A Bob Crewe Production." And also, "Arranged & Conducted by Bob Crewe." Bob Crewe is of course a very well-documented song-writer and record producer. I first became aware of him after seeing the mucical Jersey Boys a couple of years ago - as he is most noted for his work with the Franlie Valli and the Four Seasons. Back to the record: side one has Devil with a Blue Dress, Good Golly Miss Molly, Jenny Take a Ride, and In the Midnight Hour. Side 2 has some tunes with which I am not familiar, other than Shake a Tail Feather. I like the John Couger Mellancamp song called R-O-C-K in the U-S-A, which goes, "There was Frankie Lyman-Bobby Fuller-Mitch Ryder (They were Rockin'). Jackie Wilson-Shangra-las-Young Rascals (They were Rockin') Spotlight on Martha Reeves. Let's don't forget James Brown..."
