This song is 28 years older than me and here I am singing along. I need to find out if you have ever reacted to The Foundations and Build Me Up Buttercup because I want to hear that after this. ❤️ This also might actually be the studio version, I’ve only ever heard it sound like this anyway.

Gary Rogers. My parents did such a good job of introducing me to all the music they had grown up with. I love so many songs from different decades and I am always thinking that when I’m much older I could be listening to songs that are 100 years old and that is pretty cool to me.

[@musemoon]

OMG! FUN FACT: In the 60's when I was growing up, there was a kid's cartoon on tv called The Archies. The Archies were a fictional band with a Saturday morning animated show and a comic book series. "Sugar Sugar" hit #1 in 1969. You could get a thin plastic copy of the song on the back of a box of Alpha Bits cereal. A year later Wilson Picket charted with his version of "Sugar Sugar".

[@musemoon]

Check out the animated Archies video.

Song is a major classic. Was made for a unique business model but they absolutely crushed the effort. That audio is the studio version, the file you played is truncated. Andy Kim wrote it, he has other great songs you might want to check out. "Rock Me Gently" is what he is most known for, worth a listen.

We danced to this hundreds of times! 1971 & all through our childhood. Our first dance, I was 5 yrs and he was 6 yrs. I remember this like yesterday! We held hands and shoulders and we rocked back and forth in a slow dance style turning in a circle! The adults would play this over and over to watch and exclaim over the cuteness. I didn't mind because it was the only time that my brother danced! I was honored to be his partner! I still love this song & those memories of he and I dancing to Sugar Sugar.

I love this song so much I asked my mom for some money to go to the local Dime Store and I bought the 45. The Dime store in case you don't know, is similar to the Dollar store. The first time I heard this song I was riding in the back of a car staring at the sky looking at the trees and looking at the beautiful green grass and I thought this is a great country.

[@acousticbs_tunes]

He also had a hit with a nice remake of "Baby I Love You". 👍

[@margaretbonanno654]

The Archie’s were everything and every Saturday morning I was glued to the tv.

[@MrVato53]

After Don Kirsher was done with the Monkees, being they wanted to run the show, do their own songs etc, and the Monkees then lost their mojo. Kirsher created the Archies. Well the Band the Archies. Again Wrecking Crew studio musicians, Same Writers, and studio vocalists. So he got more hits with this cartoon band, with out the complaining. Here Ron Dante is shown singing. But this song was introduced to the public in a Saturday Morning cartoon by the cartoon characters. P.S. The girl in the song is Toni Wine not in this video.

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

"Sugar Sugar" was in fact the very song that caused the Monkees to fire Kirshner. And Kirshner was right that it was a hit song, but the Monkees (Mike Nesmith especially) wanted musical control and didn't want to keep recording bubblegum pop.

[@v.downes9608]

MrVato53 I had no idea. Love reading and learning from the comments.

[@daryn78912]

MrVato53, wasn’t he the one that had the “Midnight Special” tv show on Saturday nights? He would have groups like Fleetwood Mac and other groups. Who remembers the show?

[@Helen-hy3gv]

Daryn Wikholm Peacock The Don Kirshner Rock Concert. I’ve been watching it on You tube and I’m shocked how good the quality is, he made sure those videos would last. It’s really great live music and it’s 4 or 5 songs. I didn’t know he was involved with the Monkees and Archie’s

[@MrVato53]

@@Fool3SufferingFools That is all true. For Mike Nesmith, as far as songwriting, His biggest song was was recorded by another artist. Stone Ponies - Featuring Linda Ronstandt. Launched her career. If you know of any other song he wrote that was a hit, I am not aware. Monkees left Kiersher and the rest is history. Kirsher had other artists and projects. Monkees are mostly remebered for all the songs they produced with Kirsher. Not much on their own.

[@holyspacemonkey]

I love me some bubblegum pop!! This song was number 1 that year! The singer Ron Dante also had a band called the Cuff Links, and there song “Tracy” Bit number 2 around the same time. They were both in the top 10 at the same time!

[@blahblahblahblah6919]

It was my favorite childhood song. It brings back some wonderful memories.

[@markbryant4932]

The woman was Toni Vine who voiced both Betty and Veronica of The Archies. She went on to write a huge hit for Tony Orlando called "Candida." The song was co-written by Andy Kim who went on to have a big hit of his own in 1974 called "Rock Me Gently.' And the TV cartoon and band were created by Don Kirschner using "The Monkees' TV show from a few years earlier. Before this song, The Archies put out a single only reaching #53 on the charts. So Kirschner - believing so strongly in Sugar Sugar - thought audiences would unfairly compare it with Feels So Good - the previous song. So, they went around to radio stations across the country, had DJs play the song from a record with no band name listed to see if they would air it. They loved it and did - being told to tell listeners it was by a "mystery group." Once phone lines lit up and people started wondering where they could purchase the record - it was finally re-released about two months later identifying the band as "The Archies."

[@kenrk]

I remember this cartoon series. I miss those Saturday mornings when they had all the kid's shows. A shame you didn't get to see the cartoon band playing the song.

[@woodykelleher9253]

Singer Toni Wine backing up Ron Dante in the studio! The Archies Saturday cartoon was 1969-70? #1 for 6 weeks.

[@laminage]

This made History in the sense that they don't "Exist". They had other hits like Jingle Jangle. This was written by Jeff Barry who is probably best known for Writing and Co-Writing Hits for The Ronettes (that you heard) Be My Baby, The Dixie Cups, Chapel Of Love, and The Crystals Da Doo Run Run. He Also Co Wrote River Deep Mountain High for Ike & Tina Turner. The Other Man who wrote this is Andy Kim (Not Gibb). It was called the Best In Bubblegum Pop.

[@bruceparkhurst300]

Ron Dante, the lead singer of this song was also lead singer on a song called Tracy, by The Cuff Links. Also a good song!

[@elizabethmclauchlan6623]

Written by by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim. Ron Dante sang the lead vocals and went on to produce albums for Barry Manilow. Andy Kim a Canadian from Montreal, went on to a solo career. His biggest hit was Rock me Gently.

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

Fun fact: The Archies were the same personnel as The Cuff Links, another one-hit wonder with the song “Tracy.”

[@rickkopp9536]

Lead singer was Ron Dante. He did a lot of session work, commercials, background singing. He was the lead singer for a group called the Cuff Links, although he was the only singer (they overdubbed all of the voices, which were his, as they did with his work on The Archies). In October of 1969 he had two songs in the top 10 (Sugar Sugar and Tracy by the Cuff Links) and he wasn't mentioned on either one of the records.

[@lorettarowell8486]

[@mgonzales56]

Veronica says "I can make life so sweet". I also remember cutting the record off the back of a "Sugar Crisp" box, putting in on the turntable and listening to this song. Wish I had kept that record. Life was so simple when I was a kid.

[@GoWestYoungMan]

Sugar Sugar was written by Andy Kim from Montreal and Jeff Barry from NYC. It became the title track for the Archies, a fictional cartoon group. The Archies was both a cartoon and a comic strip.

[@pamelabarrera5074]

Oh my my .I love this song 🎵.. Glad to see you enjoyed it to.thx for sharing.

[@tltatt]

If you haven't found out yet, this was the studio version. I don't remember ever seeing this video before but you can see Ron Dante singing, playing the drums, guitar and tambourine all at the same time (but he really only did the vocals on this record) and there's a female singer (Toni Wine) not there, so it is not a live performance. I never thought of The Archies as a one-hit wonder. Three of their other singles made the Top 40 (in the US): "Jingle, Jangle"(reached number 10), "Bang-Shang-A-Lang"(number 22) and "Who's Your Baby?"(number 40) and I loved many other Archies songs (and still do). "Sugar, Sugar" may have been the biggest bubble-gum song of all time and I believe it was the number one song on the Billboard chart for the year 1969. "Get On the Line" is one of their best songs IMHO and should have been released as a single.

[@Nevertoleave]

My dad use to listen to this oldies station when I was a kid so I grew up with like AC/DC and stuff cause he was into it, then the station played this song and it was like my little ten year old heart melted. Instant crush on the main singer. The radio played it again a few weeks later and I just remember leaning against the counter, inches from the radio, wishing I had a tape to record the song so I could listen to it for forever

[@windnchgo]

One other note that you may find interesting - the guy in the video is none other than Ron Dante! Who's that you ask? Just the guy who went on to produce all of Barry Manilow's albums in the 1070's. Kinda makes sense, doesn't it?

[@juliebowness3299]

The one singing lead vocals is Ron Dante, he is a singer songwriter, and producer. He produced the first nine Barry Manilow albums...he's also my friend on facebook

Their Other Hit was "Jingle Jangle". This Song was Written by Jeff Barry & Andy Kim. Jeff was instrumental to the Brill Building's Success that was at it's peak between 1960-1964. He Co Wrote alot of Hits like Be My Baby for The Ronettes, Da Do Run Run For The Crystals, and even River Deep Mountain High with his Late Ex Wife Ellie Greenwich & Phil Spector. He helped create The Original Girl Group Phenomenon and Chapel Of Love by The Dixie Cups (Not Chicks). Another Song that they had was Jingle Jangle.
