[azbaldy5]

[MZVIRB]

Great!

[DivaTCD]

Yay! It's my song!!! No one knew what I was talking about when I've mentioned this song from the past until recently... Thank you for posting this!

[5kprincess]

STILL SOUNDS GREAT!!

[irjalena]

Hello!

I am a friend of Ron Dante and I was the first person from Sweden who know he was leadsinger of the Archies, / Ann-Mari

[LisaandTrixie]

This is one of those songs that are unforgettable and are lifelong. The melody is infectious and can instantly put you in a happy mood. For the life of me, I cannot see how contemporary songs can do that. And isn't that what art is supposed to do...make you think or lift your mood? Thanks Ron, for the performance and thanks for the posting.

[Civitatuccillo]

wow.. a great rendition ,,, sounds like the original. Great song to dance and get close too.

[1946mamaannie]

I grew up along the North Carolina Coast, Morehead City/Atlantic Beach, and Beach Music is the only way to go. I can dance to it and understand the words the whole thing that makes music the real thing Ann

[RJRanke]

Ron Dante was surprised how few people realized that the Cufflinks and the Archies had the same lead singer.(Chuckle!)

[rod280459]

Unreal performance ! I have not heard this song on the radio for so long I had forgotten about it. Ron sounds great and I agree with kpdave, its nice to hear an old song being performed live so brilliantly by the original artist.

Thanks lpintop for posting - you made my day !

[drlucio]

Fantastic filming.More of Ron if you have it.

Thanks for sharing

Lucio

[iwmackay]

[Hyemoonie]

Lead singer? He was the whole group!! He sings all the parts. Just heard him talking about this on XM...who knew?!!

[photoman65]

[skiiiii664]

[lpvcrcd]

[Knugabug]

I bought this Decca 45rpm when I was 12 after hearing Cousin Brucie play it on WABC.

[jsbach15]

Another example of a singer who has kept in good shape over the years. Ron Dante sounds terrific! Wish I could have been there. 10+ stars!

[annandmitch2009]

by the cufflinks DO NOT FORGET!!!!!

[joeljack1]

I love this song. Ron sounds great live.

[trevor40]

Just Great  :-)

[CrozetBob]

The true definition of "pop song"!!

[kpdave]

Great song, I never get tired of hearing it. And despite the obvious fact that it is the original lead singer, this perfomrmance sounds SO much like the original recording and that is great. Most times that a song (especially and older song) there is a remarkable difference between it and the original.

[azzey54]

@kpdave great old song i remember it well

[ElvisChick08]

One of my favorite memories is having Ron Dante sing this song to me personally while I was on stage with him! I absolutley love this song and Ron Dante!

[johnlemmon]

lucky girl Elvis chick...

[deckape1956]

Ron Dante------- what more can ya say? maybe the Archies, wow! what a talent!!

[maurice8th]

In the 70's, Ron turned to the role of producer and was behind the success of Barry Manilow with the songs 'Mandy', 'I Write The Songs' and 'Copacabana'. In fact, this month he has been in the studio again with Manilow working on his next album.

Ron Dante also recently completed producing a new CD for Trini Lopez. "He is ready to make a major comeback," Ron says. "He just had his 70th birthday".

[vincequelmar]

please tell me he is not 70 damn were gettin old

[lpintop]

Trini Lopez is 70; Ron Dante is in his early 60s (and looks 40!). :)

[cfg188]

I fell in love with a girl named Tracy. I wanted to marry her, but life is no where as cool as 60's love songs...cie la vie!!!

[ghostchantxx]

Ron Dante can speak Spanish,German, and Polish.

[xebavara]

Oh YEAH? This takes me back to 3rd grade when i was in puppy love w/ Tracy K.! No Kiddin'!

[Helivz]

Wow! I too was in the third grade when this song came out. It was the fall of 1969. I have very good memories of that school year. Coming home to legos , erector sets, cool music and two parents who cared for me. Hard to believe that 39 years has transpired!! My how times have changed!

[Bellyflops2]

I am the same age remember buying this song and Sugar Sugar

[fennelly5]

Great record but what about their other catchy hit when julie comes around,this i think was as good as tracy.

Any chance of any one posting it?

[ghostchantxx]

I don't think Mr.Dante seems to age.

[56Mercgal]

Ron DAnte is such a neat guy. Heputs on a great show. He also has a dalmation rescue,it's on his website. He's playing at the CAnnery Casino in North LAs Vegas with the Ohio Express,1910 Fruitgum co,Bo Donaldson and Andrew Gold on Sept 1st. It's A FREE show! See ya there!!

[leneghp]

Love your work ron, brings back good memories. Patricia

[bkhistoryguy]

This takes me back to sixth grade and I was in puppy love with Tracy C. 1969 I think it was.

[themofc]

HOLY SMOKES!!! It's THE CUFFLINKS. I have an oldies band, and I wish we did this. Ron Dante belongs in the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. He had more hits than the Bonnano family.

[bkhistoryguy]

[zugnarkid]

[sub40]
