...SOCK IT TO ME! (New Voice). The title song sounds the keynote to the frenzied demands of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, the ear-splitting hot-rods of white rhythm 'n' blues, also known as blue-eyed soul. "Sock it to me, baby, gimme, gimme, gimme," screams Mitch, sounding pretty clear about what he wants. "I'd rather go to jail than to see you get away," he persists.

Still, as the first snowstorms swirled across the Midwest last week the purists were standing fast. "If I could get a pair of lined desert boots," said one, thinking onward in Wisconsin, "maybe...
