“Born To Be Wild” #2 8/24/1968

An all-time biker anthem from the “Easy Rider” soundtrack and the first hit from Steppenwolf (the band, not the novel). The phrase “heavy metal thunder” gave birth to an entire musical genre. It was the Canadian group’s third single, as the first two flopped. Lead singer John Kay always wears sunglasses on stage - not an act, as he’s totally colorblind and his eyes are extremely sensitive to light.
