The Archies - Archies

The Archies were created by promoter Don Kirshner, who was coming off of a major success as the creator of the Monkees. In late 1967, Kirshner was hired as music supervisor for CBS' new Saturday morning cartoon the Archie Show, which was to feature a new original song every week. Although the songs were sung by the animated cartoon characters, the Archies became a huge hit, eventually scoring the # 1 hit song of 1969, "Sugar Sugar." Original debut album, digitally re-mastered.
