IMAGINARY Band Turned a SILLY Kid's Cartoon Song into THE BIGGEST HIT of 1969! | Professor of Rock

In this Professor of Rock Short we have an interview with a mystery singer who had 2 songs in the top 10 at the same time with 2 different bands but here’s the thing he never got any credit. Nobody knew who he was until much later. One of these songs was so massive it became the #1 song of the year beating out The Stones, the Beatles and Elvis who all had big hits that year…. I’m taking about the #1 song of 1969… Sugar, Sugar by the Archies. It was a song by an imaginary band writing for a kid's cartoon but it captured the world! This song is so catchy everyone was singing it then and is still singing it now. And to think the #1 smash was actually written for preschoolers for a cartoon. there was so much mystery surrounding the identity of this singer and his imaginary band that it was a trivia question that no one could solve for years… The Question was: What group never appeared together, never went on the road together, never interviewed together, and had a #1 hit... coming up we’ll get the answer from Ron Dante in this exclusive interview and the story of a song so catchy it hit #1 for 4 weeks in the Us and 8 weeks in the UK and inspired Def Leppard to write Pour Some Sugar on Me decades later.
