The Archies: Sugar, Sugar (1969)/Who's Your Baby (1970)

The Archies were created by Don Kirshner in a desire to have a band that "doesn't talk back" after being fired by The Monkees. It was based on the comic book of the same name and had a couple of singer/songwriters who would achieve popularity in the 70's. Ron Dante recorded an album under the name, The Cuff Links and had a #1 hit with "Tracy" about the same time as "Sugar, Sugar" hit the charts. He spent much of the 70's as the producer for Barry Manilow. Andy Kim had a big hit in 1974 with, "Rock Me Gently". Both continue to work n the music business.

By the way...that female voice on "Sugar, Sugar"?? That's Dante singing in a falsetto.....Have a happy Friday!!
