RON DANTE is a man of many talents. Singer, songwriter, producer,
you name it, he's done it!
Have
you been a fan of Ron's all along, or are you just getting to know him? Because if you are, you have lots of surprises in
store. Although he's probably best known for singing lead on the million-selling #1 record of 1969, "Sugar, Sugar," recording
as The Archies was just one small part of Ron's extensive show-business career.
Even if you didn't
know his name, you knew his voice. Ron Dante sang with the parody group The Detergents ("Leader of the Laundromat") and on scores
of TV and radio jingles. But he made the music history books in 1969 when two songs he anonymously sang the lead on held Top
Ten positions at the same time! In fact, one of these songs, "Sugar, Sugar," would go on to be the #1 hit of 1969. Yes, it
was Ron Dante's voice you heard as the lead singer of The Archies, and of The Cuff Links, whose smash single "Tracy" found itself
sitting in the Top Ten right along with "Sugar, Sugar!"
Ron Dante
has sung with many other groups, he's had several solo records out (under a few other names besides Ron Dante, in fact), he's
done scores of commercial jingles, he's produced on Broadway, and he's done production work for lots of other talented folks
including Barry Manilow and Cher. He's worked with The Family Channel, with Disney, with probably every entertainment
entity in the world in one musical capacity or another. And that's only a slight exaggeration! For just a little taste of Ron's vast credits, check out the biography page on this site. To itemize
Ron's entire portfolio would take pages and pages, but I tried my best to condense the highlights of his resume into several
(hopefully) thorough paragraphs. So pull up a chair and enjoy your visit!
