Better known to the world as Rich Derringer passed away yesterday, 26-May-2025. He was 77 years old.
When I was in high school, my grandmother gave me a two 45 records, one of which was Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo which I thoroughly enjoyed. The other 45 was the Carpenters' Top of the World, so there's that. Derringer had already achieved majors success as the front man for the McCoys and their hit single Hang on Sloopy, to which the following link is worth a glance, he looks so young. The students at Ohio State should be in mourning today.
After his solo hit single, Derringer worked with many well known performers such as such as Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter Group, Steely Dan, Bonnie Tyler, Cyndi Lauper, Barbara Streisand, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, B.B. King, Roger McGuinn, and Leslie West.
Rest in peace.
