Montreal native Andy Kim saw his co-written song recognised by being inducted into the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2006. It has even been surmised that the song they were offered wasn’t “Sugar, Sugar” at all, but “Sugar Man”. There have even been speculations that the song was actually offered to The Monkees first by Don Kirschner and various stories have come out about them refusing to perform it ranging from it being “too cheesy” to Mike Nesmith putting his first through a wall. It’s influence on other artists came to the fore when Def Leppard used the line from the song “Pour some sugar on me baby” as the basis for their international hit “Pour Some Sugar On Me”. So popular was the song that Kelloggs even had a copy printed onto some of their cereal boxes that you could cut out and play on your turntable. Baron Longfellow, who was in fact the co-writer Andy Kim, also released it in 1980. Since it’s success it has been recorded by countless other acts that include Ike & Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Big Youth, Tom Jones and the actor Kurt Russell and it has re-entered the charts on recordings by Wilson Pickett and Stars on 45. Toni Wine even roped in the hand-clapper in the form of the successful singer-songwriter Ray Stevens.

It topped the charts in the UK, United States and South Africa and became the “Number One Single of the Year”.Īt the time the group were something of a mystery with no one knowing who the performers were as they were never interviewed and never performed live. This is why sugar gives you a quick burst of energy: a sugar high followed by a low blood sugar crash. It was recorded in 1969 as a track on Everything’s Archie and the resultant single release became an international smash hit. 'Sugar, Sugar,' which was co-written by Andy Kim and Jeff Barry, who also lent their talents for the background vocals, was the fictional group's most successful song.
