Ron Dante is still alive!

Who's Ron Dante? He's the songwriter and lead singer for The Archies!

YouTube playlist


When it comes to Archies music far too many people focus on "Sugar, Sugar" and ignore the rest. Well, there are a lot of songs in there that are worth remembering, at least to me.

That being said, here are some "Sugar, Sugar" covers:

The Workout Mix. Dubstep and techno combine to make a version of the song that certainly demands your attention if nothing else.

The Sixties Mix. Interesting idea, but the sound mixing is terrible. The drums and clapping are too loud.

The Riverdale Cast. It must be heard to be disbelieved.

Ron Dante performing it last summer.

So in 1990 there was this TV movie called "Return to Riverdale". And in it the actor playing Jughead tries doing a hip-hop version.
