When I searched the tube for sugar sugar honey honey I had no idea it was The Archies, that was just a bonus.
That's a friggin' awesome article, mate.

all that history, as a history-loving dude, lol.
Oi Steve-- do you happen to know what the greater reaction was upon that song in Oz, back in the day?
Personally I love singing "Sugar, Sugar" and "Age Of Aquarius." They're easy, infectious, and good-feeling for most audiences. And... eh, I think I could *maybe* sing that Sly song "Everyday People" with some helpers, but no bloody way could I ever touch CCR's
Fortunate Son.
Same principle as my DEEP love and respect upon Janis Joplin's voice and singing. I.e., an earth-shaking wail from a human, staring in to the void and wailing right back.
Note: not to put the genre of
Heavy Metal down or anything (because I got my faves, starting with Robert Plant), but Janis reached some supernatural level of that shit, lol.
Anyway, yeah-- I do think John Fogerty was somewhat in her realm. What a godamn boss.
