Rick Derringer's sixty-year-old career spanned teen stars, was the lead singer of the 60s "Hanging on a Sleigh," a 70s solo, an artist who had been with Steely Dan to Barbra Streisand to Barbra Streisand in "Rock and Rolling Hootchie Koo," and a writer who was once a wrestling Themes, including Helterne of Onegan of Ankan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan of Hersogan the On and Onegan, a real man, his caretaker Tony Wilson and the announcement of Guitarist Magazine. Wilson's Post noted that Derlinger died Monday night in Ormond Beach, Florida. Although Dellinger has been in good health in recent months, the cause of death has not been announced. He is 77 years old.

Derringer was a versatile guitarist, powerful singer and acclaimed in New York rock scenes in the 1970s and 1980s. He also produced the Edgar Winter Group's 1972 Smash Single single "Frankenstein" and served as the band's guitarist for several years. Working closely with Winter's brother Johnny as a guitarist and producer. Made the first album of "Freaky" Al Yankovic; even the first major acclaim from Patti Smith on the song "Jump" of Derringer's 1973 debut solo album All-American Boy.

His band of the same name released several albums and toured a lot throughout the 1970s – the band’s last major incarnation featured Neil Giraldo. Derringer and his first wife, Liz, were also members of Andy Warhol's extension circle, often appearing in rock magazines of that era. In his later years, he worked extensively with singer Cyndi Lauper to produce the first album of the weird Al Yankovic and wrote and produced many popular theme songs for wrestlers, including Hulk Hogan's "Real American" (Real American), whose strange legacy is the theme song used by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Donald as theme songs.

The young Derringer was born in 1947 in Richard Dean Zehringer, Ohio, received the guitar for his ninth birthday and began performing with his uncle, country musician. As a teenager, he formed a band called McCoys with his brother Randy. In the summer of 1965, the songwriting team, The Strangeloves (both hitting a big hit with "I Want Candy" hits), hired the band to support the band, and soon after, they invited them to record the song "My Girl Sloopy", whose title was later changed to "Hang on Sloopy". The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that summer — replacing Barry McGuire's grim “Eve of Destruction” — around the time Derringer (still working under his born name) turned 18. The hit has become a kind of theme song for Derringer's home state of Ohio and, in a foretelling of his later years making music for professional sports, has been a staple of Ohio State football game for decades.

McCoys made a slight follow-up, but without repeated success, and began working with blues guitarist Johnny Winter and his brother Edgar in the late 1960s to tour with them and play and produce their albums. The partnership released a huge single with 1972's "Frankenstein", an instrument the band has been playing for years. The title comes from the appearance of the main tape, which is so spliced ​​so much that musicians say it resembles the stitches of a horror movie character. The song was ranked No. 1 by Derringer in May 1973 in the Billboard Hot 100. Not long after, he went on to replace Ronnie Montrose in the band and remained Edgar Winter's guitarist for the next three years.

That same year, Derringer enjoyed his first solo, “Hootchie Koo” (which had a long life that it was used in the fourth season of “Stranger Things”), and after leaving the winter he launched his self-proclaimed solo band, which has extensively toured over the past decade and released several albums. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Derringer also worked as a conference musician, performing Steely Dan's albums (including "Countdown to Exstasy", "Katy Lied" and "Gaucho", Todd Rundgren, Kiss, Barbra Streisand; in the early 1980s, he soloed with meat pie mastermind Jim Steinman, Bonnie Tyler's "Only Inaction Eclipse" and the air-supply "Love of Complete Inaction."

In the mid-1980s, he began working with singer Cyndi Lauper touring her band and produced three of her albums (including the hit "True Colors"), but perhaps more importantly, it brought him into the world of professional wrestling. In 1985, he produced the World Wrestling Federation's "Wrestling Album", which consists mainly of the theme songs of professional wrestlers, many of which he co-wrote. The most notable of these is Hulk Hogan’s theme song “Real American,” which Barack Obama used when he revealed his birth certificate at a 2011 White House reporter dinner; Hillary Clinton was used as a campaign song, inevitably often presided over by Donald Trump.

In his later years, he toured with Ringo Starr's All Starr Band as well as Peter Frampton, Carmine Appice and others, in line with the conservative cause and released several albums on a Christian-themed album with his wife Jenda.
