Some of you older members will remember "Sugar Sugar" by "The Archies" but did the studio actors that formed to be the singing group ever put out a album? This one favorite song to Roller Skate to, it had that irresistable beat and the singers were great.

There are a few out. Sugar, Sugar, Greatest Hits, and Absolutely the Best of the Archies

So you have one album and two compilations

Ron Dante sang lead vocals (he was Archie, I'd guess) on The Archies hits Sugar, Sugar and Jingle, Jangle, but he also fronted the dummy groups The Detergents, whose big hit single was Leader of the Laundromat; The Cuff Links, whose big hit was Tracy.

Andy Kim, who scored a No.1 single in 1974 with Rock Me Gently, co-wrote "Sugar Sugar" with Jeff Barry.

I actually have the "Greatest Hits" on cassette somewhere.

Nice poster of Jim Bray and Linda Blair in one of my all time Roller Skating favorites "Roller Boogie". I have this really groovy story on Vhs about one mans ambition of getting a rich girl to skate like him, to be his girl, and partner in the Rollor Boogie Contest. The contest that almost wasn't except for phones recording to get Jammer out of trouble over having to sell the rink. Linda Blair playing the rich girl not the devil in what gave her big break in movies"The Exorcist"

Sugar Sugar, Jingle Jangle, and song from Rosie and The Originals "Angel Baby" were me and my girls favorites to skate to. Simular to The Archies Rosies band didn't show up, and studio musicans became the Originals, a one hit wonder for Rosie just couldn't sing?


P.S the other Roller Skating Story was called "Skatown USA" and it was one of the first movies Patrick Swazee(Dirty Dancing) was in.
