Airdate: Oct. 11, 1969

I found a higher quality (HQ) version of this and a few other episodes and will repost some clips in HQ. Enjoy! (originally posted on Feb. 1, 2018)

“Sugar, Sugar” is #1 for the 4th week in a row today and was the #1 song of 1969. “The Archies” was a fictional band created for the Saturday morning cartoon “The Archie Show” (’68-’69 on CBS) based on the Archie comic books. The band actually was made up of session musicians put together by Don Kirchner, with lead singer Ron Dante and backed up by Andy Kim who co-wrote the song.

Dancing to the top 10 today are: Cathy Kilborn at 2:25, Frank Vanderpuil at 3:27, Carl Ratcher at 3:32, Marty Mane at 3:35, Don Sanuskar & Roni Menacker (in silhouette) at 3:40, and Art (on our right) and Rudy (on our left) Mikaelian with Robin Miller at 3:47. Art comments here once in a while and said his brother Rudy had just returned from Vietnam. He also mentioned the dance they are doing is called “the Spinner.”
