BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JywK_5bT8z0 - Sugar Sugar - The Archies, 1969
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar,_Sugar:
| "Sugar, Sugar" is a
pop song written by Jeff Barry and
Andy
Kim. It was a four-week 1969 number-one hit single by fictional
characters
The Archies. Produced by
Jeff Barry, the song was originally released on the album
Everything's Archie. The album is the product of a group of
studio musicians managed by
Don Kirshner.
Ron
Dante's lead vocals were accompanied by those of
Toni
Wine (who sang the line "I'm gonna make your life so sweet"), and
Andy
Kim. Together they provided the voices of the Archies using
multitracking. When the song was initially released, Kirshner had promotion men play it for radio station execs without telling them the name of the group (due to the somewhat disappointing chart performance of the Archies' previous single, "Bang-Shang-a-Lang," which went to #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts). Only after most of the DJs liked the song were they told that it was performed by a cartoon group. The Archies’ hit wound up as one of the biggest (and most unexpected) #1 hits of the year, one of the biggest bubblegum hits of all time, both in America and in Great Britain, thanks partly to association with the hit CBS-TV Saturday morning cartoon series. The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar" was the 1969 number-one single of the year... |
