Rev Up: the Best of

Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels had a number of top twenty hits in the mid-1960s in the U. S. A. They had their first big hit in 1965 with "Jenny Take a Ride", which reached Top 10 on the national charts, the first time a self-contained rock group had achieved the latter distinction. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. The group had its biggest hit with the "Devil with a Blue Dress On"/"Good Golly Miss Molly" medley. In 1967 Ryder had another top ten hit with "Sock It to Me, Baby!", which was banned by some stations as too sexually suggestive. The band had its last hit with the brassy "Too Many Fish in the Sea"/"Three Little Fishes" single.
