The Detroit Wheels

Short-lived line-up of Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels without Mitch Ryder when the latter was enticed away by Bob Crewe with offers of a solo career, after which the group quickly dissolved. Two of its former members, Jim McCarty (2) and Johnny Badanjek, later reunited to establish the nucleus of a new band called The Rockets (5), after McCarty found some fame with the hard rock outfit Cactus (3).
