Talk:The Detroit Wheels

Comments
The information on this page regarding " The Detroit wheel" Is not correct. Mitch ryder and his band started as Billy Lee and the riverias. They changed the name to Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels later. They had several hit songs that charted, not the song mentioned here either. "Jenny Take A Ride", "Devil With a Blue Dress On & Good Golly Miss Molly", "Sock It to Me-Baby!", "Little Latin Lupe Lu", & "Break-out". are some of the more well known of them.

Later Mitch and former wheel Johnny Bee formed the band "Detroit" and had another hit with "Rock & Roll" I believe McCarty was in Cactus at this time.

The Rockets were not a foot note to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. They were a noteworthy band in their own right.

Thanks, I had originally did the rockets page on a separate page. Someone later put it on the detroit wheels page though because "the Rockets" from detroit were not the only band to use that name. In the 60's what later became "crazy horse" of neil Young fame also used the name "The Rockets" I think there's also a european Techno or otherwise modern music type that uses the name. There may be a bar band or two who have used the name as well along the way.

Anyway I understand the need to attempt to clarify, however the rockets from detroit were not that closely related to Mitch Ryder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.237.138 (talk) 16:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
