Their fiery sound was never more evident than on "I'd Rather Go To Jail." This song from 1967 did not chart, but finds the band on top form. Their last chart appearance of the 60s was "(You've Got) Personality And Chantilly Lace," which stalled at #88 in 1968. But under the moniker Detroit, Ryder scored a minor comeback hit in 1983 when "When You Were Mine" (written by Prince) reached #87.
