Kirshner put together the Archies out of his stable of artists and songwriters (hit writers) after his fiasco with the Monkees. The Monkees wanted to start playing their own instruments and doing their own songs and production, even though Kirshner has a contract to handle the music end of that little artificial group.

Dynamic Don then went to managing the cartoon characters so he wouldn't have to deal with any real egos anymore. When I was a kid, everybody had that damn Archies record. It saw non-stop play at every birthday and pool party for a couple of years.

"Hey Jughead, where are you?"

Trivia: The lead singer for the Archies was Andy Kim.
