About The Mc Coys

Members Rick Derringer, Randy Z and Randy Jo Hobbs played with later. got a Solo career.
"Don't Worry Mother Your Son's Heart Is Pure Ko Ko" is an excellent album that showcases the McCoys' versatility and talent. Whether you're a fan of rock, pop, or electronic music, there is something on this album for everyone. Highly recommended.
This actually came out in the late summer of 1966, several months before the "summer of love". By that time, the song unfortunately faded into oblivion and I never heard it again on radio. It always reminded me somewhat of the Rolling Stones'' "Paint It Black" which also came out in the summer of 1966.
Not a "hit" but Rick Zehringer I want to tell you this was your best song ever. This and your next one "Beat The Clock". These 2 songs were when you were at your peak of creativity. I cannot say enough about how I love both these 2 songs. I remember even if nobody else does. I'm a fan and I love you!
It's included on the CD "Hang on Sloopy: The Best of the McCoys". I just saw one on Amazon for $3.99. The CD has all their stuff...I'd forgotten all that they recorded...it brought back a lot of memories.
The last time I heard this was when it was released in the late summer of 1966. It was definitely a departure in their sound for the McCoys, whose other obscure record was their rendition of the popular Peggy Lee song "Fever" shortly after "Hang On, Sloopy". Thanks for posting this. It brings me right back to that blistering hot 1966 summer.
The McCoys had many great hit singles but this track was a monster. Drums just drive it through. The McCoys continued into a more serious musical vein & then...and then...the McCoys soon morphed into a big part of Johnny Winter's band. One of the miracles in rock that worked so well. Some members even played with brother Edgar Winter, Steely Dan, Alice Cooper, Todd Rundgren & Ringo Starr. Richard Zehringer (later known as Rick Derringer) continues to this day.
All praise for putting this wonderful track on here. It was one of my 60s pirate radio faves, but for 35 years I had no clue to the artist or title until, by pure chance, I re-found it when I found Immediate Singles Story Vol.2 (as far as I know, not released in the US) in a bargain bin! When I realised this track was on there, joy of serendipity! It stands out as one of the very first gems of psychedelia. How it fits into the early years of the McCoys I will probably never know. Enjoy.
