In 1969, an innocent song took over the radio. Sweet, light, impossible to forget.
"Sugar, Sugar" stuck like chewing gum, and that's exactly what she was born to be.
But behind the sticky melody, there was no real band. There was no group touring the country, no interviews, no shows. The phenomenon that dominated the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom was fictitious. Literally drawn.
The name? The Archies. Yes, like the comics.
Comics - Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie and Jughead - and was born from a bold idea of producer Don
The success was meteoric.
The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for four weeks. In England, he dominated by eight. It sold millions of copies, was distributed inside cereal boxes and became the best-selling single of 1969 in the US.
