1 "Sugar, Sugar" was the 1969, #1 single of the year. According to
Billboard magazine, this is a feat yet to be duplicated by any other
fictional band. It spent four weeks at #1 the Billboard Hot 100 from
September 20, 1969, and eight weeks at the top of the UK singles chart, and
earned a gold record. The song lists at #63 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of
All Time. On February 5, 2006, "Sugar, Sugar" was inducted into the Canadian
Songwriters Hall of Fame, as co-writer Andy Kim is originally from Montreal,
Quebec. "Sugar, Sugar" is considered the archtype of the bubblegum,
pop-music genre and President George W. Bush said "Sugar, Sugar" is one of
his favorite songs. The song was played at Jenna Bush's wedding party in May
2008.

2 Andy Kim, born Andrew Youakim, on December 5, 1952, is a Canadian pop
singer and songwriter. In the spring of 1974, he released "Rock Me Gently,"
which went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and rose to #2 on the UK
Singles Chart. See lyrics for "Rock Me Gently" by Andy Kim on MP3lyrics.org

3 Most '60s bubblegum groups were faceless studio concoctions, made up of
hired professionals and given nominal group identities after-the-fact. The
Archies made no pretense of being a real band in the first place -- their
music, was "performed" by the animated TV cartoon characters spun off from
Archie comics. In reality, of course, they were a studio concoction made up
of hired professionals, but in this case, they weren't technically faceless.

FICTIONAL GROUP:
Archie (lead guitar)
