Fever

In 1965, a band from Indiana called The McCoys, scored two top ten hits... the #1 "Hang On Sloopy" and the #7 follow-up, "Fever".  The song "Fever" had already been a top ten hit, rising to #8 in 1958 and sung by Peggy Lee.  The McCoys broke up sortly after, and lead singer Rick Derringer went on to a solid solo career as well as runs with Steely Dan and the Edgar Winter Group.  Fever meanwhile, has largely become a forgotten oldie.
