The Archies

“Sugar Sugar” had a sound so fine. It was a popular hit song of 1969. That was not all we were going to hear. “Jingle Jangle” was released the following year. However, one element was wrong. Cartoon characters recorded each song. There was Archie, Reggie, Jughead, Veronica, and Betty. They were seen and heard on Saturday morning TV. In a live concert we would never see these band members performing each melody. Their sound many folks considered terrific. How about some truth here, who really recorded the music?

I grew up with that music. Always thought I could write the lyrics to them. Mike

Ron Dante sang lead vocal on most of the hits( but not "Lay a little lovin' on me"), studio musicians including Andy Kim ( famous in his own right) sang background vocals, nice piece of nostalgia. LOved those songs as a kid
