SAKKARIN - SUGAR SUGAR 11 Years, 5 Months ago
Jonathan I'm just watching on YouTube the TOTP performance of Sakkarin. This has turned a bubblegum pop song into a heavy metal anthem - how or what on earth gave you the idea to do it this way .. it's genius !!!

Bob Stanley in "Yeah Yeah Yeah" (his highly recommended book about the history of pop 1950-2000):

"One of Jonathan King’s better musical gags was to try and bridge this real or imagined divide by recording a heavy-rock version of ‘Sugar, Sugar’ under the name Sakkarin - it was convincing and danceable enough to reach number twelve in 1971."

aah those were such wonderful days when records sold like crazy .. by the truck load.. I think nearly every pop record producer and songwriter kind of wishes they were back in those times where there were such fabulous rewards because everyone bought them...
