Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits (?): Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo (1987)

When the then-World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) decided to produce a followup to its 1985-6 "Wrestling Album", they asked singer-songwriter-producer Rick Derringer to resurrect his 1970 composition, "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo", which he'd written for Johnny Winter before recording it himself three years later. As a lark, announcer Gene Okerlund joins Derringer this time around.



In memory of Okerlund, who has passed away at 76.

We also lost Bob Einstein (Super Dave Osbourne and Curb Your Enthusiasm) on the same day. R.I.P. to both of them.

And Daryl "The Captain" Dragon, too.

And all of them passed away at the age of 76. Eerie.

I know celebrity deaths often come in threes, but this was ridiculous.
