(STEPPENWOLF) JOHN KAY SIGNED SCORE "SOOKIE SOOKIE"
During the early 1980's, Michael Wilk, longtime Steppenwolf keyboardist and John Kay's writing partner, transcribed numerous Steppenwolf songs to sheet music in preparation for show rehearsals and recordings. Included here is Wilk's handwritten score to "Sookie Sookie," the group's second single from their 1968 self-titled debut album. Though the single failed to crack the top 40 in the winter of '68, the follow-up, "Born To Be Wild," went to #2 on the Billboard singles chart in the summer of 1968. Steppenwolf founder, lead singer and guitarist, John Kay, has signed the top of title page in black felt tip pen.
