Classic rock guitarist and singer Rick Derringer has reportedly died at the age of 77.
Derringer’s longtime friend and caretaker, Tony Wilson, shared the news via Facebook. The guitarist was surrounded by his wife, Jenda, and Wilson when he passed on May 26.
No cause of death has been given.
Derringer shot to fame at age 17 when his band The McCoys recorded “Hang On Sloopy.” The song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1965.
After four years touring with The McCoys, Derringer joined Johnny Winter in 1969, forming Johnny Winter And. Derringer later joined Edgar Winter’s White Trash full-time, and released the EP Roadwork.
Derringer released a solo album, All American Boy, in 1973, which featured the hit song “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo” as a single.
Later in his career, Derringer lent his talents to the albums of Alice Cooper, Richie Havens, Todd Rundgren, Steely Dan, Cyndi Lauper, Barbra Streisand, and Kiss, among others.
Derringer also discovered Weird Al Yankovic, producing music for his albums and videos like the Michael Jackson parodies “Eat It” and “Who’s Fat.” Derringer’s sole Grammy Award came from his work producing Yankovic’s albums.
In 1985, Derringer was chosen to put together Hulk Hogan’s theme song for the original WWF The Wrestling Album. The song, “Real American,” was intended for Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham, but Hogan wound up using it. Derringer is still recognized for the song today.
In the 2000s, Derringer pivoted to smooth jazz and later toured with Ringo Starr and The All Starr Band for three years.
“Derringer's legacy extends beyond his music, entertaining fans with his signature energy and talent,” Wilson wrote in a statement. “His passing leaves a void in the music world, and he will be deeply missed by fans, colleagues, and loved ones.”
