Don Kirshner, the man behind The Monkees, was fired from that television show so he created The Archies "band" and kept on making music. He could control the cartoons better than living actors. He's also the genius behind one of my favorite bands, Kansas. Talented man.

@davemills7030 2 жыл бұрын

Don first offered this song to The Monkees, but even they thought this song was way too "bubblegum" for them.

@platterjockey 2 жыл бұрын

Actually, the Archies had been around since the 40s as comic book characters. In 1967 or 1968 when The Monkees fired Don Kirshner, Mr. Kirshner decided he would develop a band that could not fire him! So he worked up a deal and created a cartoon that would feature a Saturday Morning cartoon band. The Archies featuring Ron Dante, Jeff Barry, Toni Wine, and other assorted Brill Building writers, including Canadian singer Andy Kim, and recorded several albums and released several singles in the late 60s and early 70s. The first single was "Bang Shang-A-Lang", and this was the second that shot to #1 a year later and became the #1 single of 1969. A few months later they released a third single "Jingle Jangle" which also made the top 20 in the U.S.. Producer Jeff Barry and Ron Dante sped up the tapes to make them sound like teenagers, as the comic/cartoon Archies were. But, on the third single, Toni Wine was no longer part of the band and the female parts were sang by Ron Dante himself by speeding up the vocal. He did this by slowing the tape down while singing two lines. I think that, had it not been a front of a cartoon, The Archies would have been taken more seriously from the rock snobs. The Archies released five studio albums and a greatest hits album on the RCA-distributed Kirshner label. They were "The Archies",(1968) "Everything's Archie"(1969), Jingle Jangle"(1969), "Sunshine"(1970), and "This Is Love"(1971). When the label was sold to CBS in the 70s, CBS resurrected the label and the progressive rock band Kansas was their only artist on the roster until 1983. Here's a little tidbit: in 1969, Ron Dante released a single under the name of The Cuff Links called "Tracy". It sounds exactly like The Archies.

The two women- the blond is Betty and the dark-haired girl is Veronica. The Archies were a comic and also a cartoon show. These songs (they had other hits) were first played on TV and were so popular that they then released them on radio stations and then sold the 45's. I have several 45's by the Archies and a cassette tape of their Greatest Hits. i listen to them sometimes.

'Sugar, Sugar' was written by Andy Kim. It does contain a lot of instruments but "The Archies" were a makeshift band that had to be put together because, since the song was originally made for the cartoon "The Archies", and it was an unexpectedly huge success, the public was demanding a performance by the group in the cartoon (The Archies), which wasn't real! So The makeshift "Archies" were born. The cartoon has, in recent years, been brought back to life by the show Riverdale, which was the name of the school that the cartoon characters went to.

"Sugar, Sugar" has also been featured in several films, such as Now and Then (1995),[62] A Very Brady Sequel (1996),[63] The Sandlot 2 (2005), The Magic Roundabout (2005), Bee Movie (2007) and The Campaign (2012). The song appears in a 2020 TV commercial for Applebee's. Similarly, the song Sugar, Sugar also appeared in the 2011 TV advertisement of Gulaku (lit. "My Sugar"), an Indonesian sugar brand; before 2011 Gulaku has used that song in their advertisements from 2006. The song was covered by Josie and the Pussycats in the Riverdale episode "Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil".

"Sugar Sugar" was one of the biggest hits of the summer of 1969, staying at Billboard #1 for an entire month. They used to call this style bubblegum pop, now more often known as sunshine pop. Another terrific sunny tune from the summer of '69 is "More Today Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Staircase, a positive, upbeat song with lots of horns.

@thomasmarthinussen8978 2 жыл бұрын

Bubblegum Pop and Sunshine Pop are two different kinds of genres, technically speaking but there are often Bubblegum Pop in Sunshine Pop and Sunshine Pop in Bubblegum Pop so these genres are certainly related. I'm a massive 60s pop fan, bring born in 1980 my father introduced me to the great music of the 60s when I was 11 or 12. In fact Bubblegum Pop AND Sunshine Pop are two of my absolute favourite sub genres of the 60s. You also have Soft Pop( basically Sunshine Pop) and Baroque Pop and these kind of styles ruled the charts in the mid to late 60s!

The "sound" you hear is from an organ riff and is the hook that really caught everyone's attention. The lead singer is Ron Dante. It's also Ron on the split screen showing him play the drums, guitar and tambourine. His voice was multi-tracked as were the two female voices, both of which were sung by Toni Wine. Various stories abound as to the other vocalists but according to co-writer Andy Kim, Ray Stevens joined in the hand claps heard throughout the song. For a more rocking sound, take a listen to "Jingle, Jangle" which was the "Sugar, Sugar" followup. It hit #10 and was certified gold in 1970.

It also was the first #1 song by a group that did not technically exist since they were studio singers and musicians (not counting the Chipmunks, whose creator Ross Bagdhesarian (David Seville) had a #1 hit in 1958 with The Chipmunk Song).

Ive worked with many many musicians in my concert career and Ron Dante is up there in my top five as being incredibly down to earth. Within minutes of meeting him you feel like youve known him forever. Bobby Vee from the 50s and Mary Wilson from the 60s (one of the Supremes) are exactly the same way. But Ron Dante is responsible for so much more. He litterally wrote almost every commercail jingle from that era such as "you deserve a break today at McDonalds" and the Budwieser "king of kings" song. He produced almost all of Barry Manilows stuff and convinced Pat Benetar to quit her banking job and start a rock career and we all know how great that went down. He told me all of this and then asked me to tie his tie. Ha ha. There were more stories after the show but my favorite was all about the famous "Archies" band picture we all know and love so well. They look like they are playing a groovy tune with Veronica on organ on one side and Betty shaking the tambourine on the other side but in reality Betty has that thing way above her head and she is just about to throw it in Veronicas face screaming "Archies mine you......." you cant unsee it once you know.
