The Story
The McCoys are a pop rock band from the United States, active since 1962 and known for their catchy sound and energetic beat music. Originally called Rick and the Raiders, they adopted their new name from a B-side of The Ventures' classic "Walk, Don't Run." Their most notable track, "Hang On Sloopy," captures the spirit of the era with its singalong chorus and vibrant instrumentation. Fronted by Rick Derringer, the band blended infectious melodies with a lively beat, making their music a staple of the mid-'60s rock scene. With a knack for crafting memorable tunes, The McCoys remain a delightful piece of the musical mosaic from that time.
