Ron Dante, the original singing voice behind the number one song of 1969, "Sugar, Sugar," and all of the other Archies megahits, performs on multiple tracks as if the last four decades never happened -- with Danielle van Zyl and Kelly-Lynn singing for Betty and Veronica (the great Toni Wine, who sang for them on many of the original records, is touring with Tony Orlando and she'll most likely be at Epcot this May when Tony returns). In addition to all-time holiday pop hits like "Jingle Bell Rock" and the Springsteen-style "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," this new CD features two new songs: "Archie's Christmas Party" and "Christmas in Riverdale." And sitting in for Jughead on drums for this album is none other than Keith Thibodeaux, who played Little Ricky on I Love Lucy! This album is available on the official Archie Comics site and at Ron Dante's website (he has other great CDs available as well). By the way, Ron's a Disney fan too, and has been spotted at Disneyana conventions.
