“Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo”, Rick Derringer, RIP

This way: Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo

Here's a terrible good song. I recall Derringer opened for Alice Cooper at the Coliseum that I saw circa 1977. Rock and Roll, "Hoochie Koo" is a rock song written by American musician Rick Derringer. It was first recorded in 1970 by Johnny Winter and his band Johnny Winter And, of which Derringer was a member. In 1973, Derringer recorded a solo version, which was his only Top 40 chart hit as a solo artist in the U.S. It became a staple of 1970s classic rock radio and rock music compilations. Both Winter and Derringer have recorded multiple live versions of the song. Derringer was also behind the McCoys hit "Hang on Sloopy". Lawdy Mama, that's a line that doenst get said enough.
