A perfect single

img_3975.JPG

The Archies (Betty, Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Veronica) “Sugar, Sugar”. This sweet, piece of bubblegum pop hit #1 on the charts in 1969. The Archies were created to be the real live musical group behind the Saturday morning TV cartoon series The Archie Show that debuted in 1968. The show’s music was the work of Don Kirshner, who was also behind the Monkees, and producer Jeff Barry. “Sugar Sugar” sold six million singles! The group had another top ten single in 1970 with “Jingle Jangle”. The studio group included Ron Dante who sang lead. Dante went on to produce most of Barry Manilow’s hits in the 70’s but previously he was with the Detergents who had a top ten hit with “Leader of the Laudromat” a take off of “Leader of the Pack”. The female singers were Ellie Greenwich (Brill Building composer of “Leader of the Pack” and many other huge hits) and Toni Wine. Another Archies backup singer, Andy Kim, had his own #1 hit in 1974 with “Rock Me Gently”.
