    Whenever hubby heard this, at home or in the car, he'd sing along with it and smile at me. He always said I was his 'Sugar, Sugar'. RIP, darling --- Missing you still and always will.

    Thank you, Andy (and Jeff) for writing such a cheerful hit! Number 1 song of 1969!! It has already proven itself to be a timeless hit, and personally, one of my favorites! The band you finally chose to perform "Sugar, Sugar" was perfect... "The Archies" made it such a global hit that even my Russian girlfriend had heard of it!
    Again, THANK YOU!!!

    In 1969 I was 8 years old and I remember my mum, my three younger sisters and me dancing Sugar Sugar the number 1 hit in Top of the Pops and in front of our house, the trees from John Lennon´s house. Back then this flashback didn't mind very much but as the years went by, dancing and singing "Sugar sugar, honey honey" in the height of The Beatles in England with John and Yoko being our neighbours. What a wacky experience back then

      Lil back story to my comment, sorry in advance for length. So my entire life my fam has been self employed , we own and operate a marina. (Evolution started and evolved through many years to become marina) as a kid we had pinball machines, a pool table and a beautiful old jukebox. Our benefactor would come out and periodically change records, Sugar Sugar was my all time favorite song, it stayed in that juke for years! And when at last it was removed I was gifted the single! Tho the grooves were deep and the sound was grainy, it remained the favorite. I will always remember our jukebox and the man who through the years gifted me with many hit singles, the songs of my lifetime. I always smile when one of these golden oldies comes on, and I can recall with perfect clarity the days of carefree childhood! Such sweet memories! Still remains a favorite amongst many! Love this behind the scenes series, many favorites have been shown, feels like your inside my head! Great job!

      Not true. Ron's live performances on the PBS series, My Music, as well as his touring with the Turtles and the Association on the Happy Together Tours, have more than reminded the public that he is the voice of the Archies. In fact over the past near 50 years, the public has known Ron as the Archies' lead vocalist (with Toni Wine riding shotgun on the backing vocals) as well as his lead on the Cuff Links' "Tracy". If anything, not many folks even knew Andy Kim had co-written Sugar Sugar. The public knows him best for "Baby I Love You" and "Rock Me Gently". As a longtime music biz and radio broadcasting vet, I'm glad as hell Andy has discussed how the song came to being and his involvement in its co-authorship.

      I remember when this song was first released. Back then with stuff like this the only info available was the writer(s) and Producer, because that was printed on the 45 or album. But I've known for at least 30 years that Ron Dante sang the lead with Andy Kim doing back up and the incredible voice of Toni Wine handling the female end of it.

    I’m an old man now but when this tune came out I was very into Southern rock, The Who, etc. But I absolutely loved this song. I had to hide my fondness for it though. I felt sort of like a smoker might today having to sneak outside to catch a drag, lol.

    I primarily listen to heavy metal, but I'm secure enough to say this was a substantive recording in music history. The key is the rhythm track, not as much the composition. Throughout history I can pick out the songs that are rhythm-based successes. Two years later "Mr Big Stuff" by Jean Knight was next powerhouse in 1971. There was "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" by Hall & Oates in 1981, "All 4 Love" by Color Me Badd in 1991, and "Family Affair" by Mary J Blige in 2001, to name a few more throughout history.

    I have always enjoyed his songs but I grew up across the street on Staten Island from Ron Dante so I am partial to praising his skill.
