It is here that the majority of these songs were initially aired. This multimedia approach was the brainchild of Don Kirshner, who had similar success with the Monkees until the show's cast members demanded autonomy on their records. However, the Archies were ink and celluloid and essentially could not talk back. Behind the music were studio pros such as Ron Dante (vocals/guitar), Andy Kim (vocals), and Toni Wine (vocals). Although the program was still pulling in the kiddies, much of the novelty had already worn off the fickle, sugar-coated pre-teen market. With the exception of the Top Ten track "Jingle Jangle" -- which commences the effort -- this platter produced little in terms of chart action. This may have led to the radical overhaul in the sound of their follow-up Sunshine (1970). In addition to the upbeat and slight R&B vibe on "Jingle Jangle," there are a couple of other memorable sides scattered throughout. 58HzGK1EZdI 68xQUJWOp7m Q09ZubZyFyJ uJ3173zz3x5 LBxzVJFI1kL C2npx88zYgf
