Ron Dante:
In 1968, Ron auditioned for and won the role as the lead singing voice for the animated group The Archies. Over the course of the next three years, Ron, along with songwriter-producer Jeff Barry, cranked out over 100 Archies tunes, the most popular unarguably being the #1 hit of 1969, "Sugar, Sugar". While this single was at the top of the charts, Ron also had another single in the Top Ten at the same time, the Vance/Pockriss-penned "Tracy". Ron was anonymous on both records; "Tracy", along with a whole album's worth of material recorded by a multi-tracked Ron, was released under the name The Cuff Links.
During and after his stint as The Archies and The Cuff Links, Ron was also working as a jingle singer, recording commercials for such companies as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Coppertone. He briefly enjoyed a solo career before turning his sights to production. During a session in the studio one day, he met the writer of the jingle he was working on. The product they were pitching was a new soft drink that very quickly went flat, but that day the die was cast for a friendship and lucrative partnership between Ron and Barry Manilow. Ron listened to some of Barry's compositions, liked what he heard, and offered to work with the talented young man if Barry would break away from Bette Midler, with whom he was working as arranger and pianist, and record under his own name. The rest is music history. Ron produced all of Barry's platinum LPs and 18 Top Ten singles from 1973 through 1981. He also did production work for Cher, Irene Cara, Pat Benatar and John Denver.

The Fabulous Chancellors:
Beginning in 1959, The Fabulous Chancellors have enjoyed over fifty years of recognition as a classic rock 'n' roll show and dance band. With nearly thirty original songs on six albums, The Fabulous Chancellors have also distinguished themselves on record. Two of their songs, "Diamond in the Sky" and "Hey Girl," achieved substantial national airplay and popularity in the early 60's.
