Like Ron Dante, Canadian-born singer Andy Kim (far left,
with Ron at the Riviera in Las Vegas) came to New York City's Tin Pan Alley in the Sixties looking for stardom--and it found
him! Andy had hits with "Be My Baby" and "Baby I Love You" ... and a little ditty that Andy co-wrote with Jeff Barry, "Sugar,
Sugar" by The Archies, earned a gold record and was Record of the Year for 1969. Since then, Andy's gone on to have
other hits, including "Rock Me Gently" in 1974, which shot to the top of the charts like a comet; and he is currently appearing
in concert all over North America, often with Ron, and making a comeback in a big way! Andy's got his own web site now, complete
with an active message board, so make sure you bookmark it and visit from time to time. And, yeah, why not drop Andy a line
while you're at it -- just look for the link on his site! Click on the pic to get there. (Check out Andy's MySpace page, too.)
Producer-arranger Ted Perlman has worked with Ron
on a number of occasions, including the Saturday Night Blast and Rockin' Christmas Party CDs and the
Yoplait Yogurt ad. His site is definitely worth a visit, and his extensive list of credits is most impressive!
Just click on the photo of Ron and Ted to visit it.
Anyone who grew up in the Metropolitan area of New York City during the Sixties and Seventies will remember Manhattan's powerhouse
radio station, 77 WABC. WABC was more than just a radio station--it defined an era. Until the station switched to a "talk"
format in the early 80's, 77 WABC was where we all tuned in to listen to the current pop hits and get the latest chart positions
for our faves. Allan Sniffen, who like so many of us idolized WABC, has put together a vast website complete with audio files,
surveys and more. As he puts it: "From December 7, 1960 to May 10, 1982, WABC was the definition of Top 40 radio. It
was the most influential music radio station of its day and had the power to make a hit record by simply playing it on a hunch.
With its 50,000 watt clear channel AM signal at 770 kHz ... at night [it] could be heard throughout the eastern half of the
U.S. on a transistor radio. WABC was even occasionally heard as far away from New York as Hawaii." Ah, what memories!
