The Almost Famous #1 - Mitch Ryder, "Joy" (1967)

from Hall of Songs · host Tim Malcolm and Chris Jones

Mitch Ryder broke through with a blue-eyed growl in the 1960s, bringing a hard-edged and sultry Detroit sound to blues-based rock. But in 1967 his career was at a sudden crossroads, so he wrote a song inspired by his daughter. What followed was, in many ways, the end of Ryder's career as a hitmaker.This is The Almost Famous, a podcast about songs that peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.Website: http://www.hallofsongs.comSocial: http://www.twitter.com/hallofsongsPlease rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hall-of-songs/id1550546067
