The Jim Craine Show Sugar Sugar, Tracy, and Steel Pier Diving Horse Stories with Ron Dante Jim Craine broadcasts through an East Coast nor'easter from the Pleasantville Music Shop and phones Ron Dante, the voice behind The Archies' Sugar Sugar and The Cuff Links' Tracy, for stories about the Brill Building, the Happy Together Tour, and a lifetime of hits. A Nor'easter Saturday At The Music Shop Jim Craine opens the show from the Pleasantville Music Shop as a nor'easter floods the East Coast, joking that the weather will not stop the fun. He notes it is four minutes past two on a soggy Saturday and quotes his old mentor Bob Weems, the man who inspired him to get into radio, saying "we must have weather, whether or not." Craine previews the day's main guest, Ron Dante, the voice behind The Archies and the song Tracy, and promises plenty of laughs despite the storm. He teases his signature performance of the song More before diving into the show's recurring bits, starting with a trip to the spooky-voiced sponsor segment hosted by his own alter ego, Dr. Boris, who will run through the week's advertisers and a round of Halloween jokes before the guest interview begins later in the hour. Dr. Boris And The Sponsor Roundup In the voice of Dr. Boris, Craine runs through his sponsor list with mock-spooky flair, plugging back-to-school instrument rentals at Pleasantville Music Shop, printing and vehicle-wrap work at Copiers Plus in Egg Harbor Township, Italian dinners at The Maplewood Inns in Vineland, Hammonton, and Mays Landing, and stays at the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House and The Colonial Inn bed and breakfasts. Dr. Boris closes with a poultrygeist joke before Craine returns to announce that a planned Lassie event in Quakertown with his friend John Provost and wife Laurie is likely off due to the flooding. He shouts out Beachcomber Coins & Collectibles in Egg Harbor Township, urges listeners to pick up The Shore Local newspaper, and notes Pleasantville Music now stocks vinyl records. Craine previews next Saturday's guest, Murl Kellum, a former bodyguard to Frank Sinatra and Don Rickles, and reminds listeners about the shop's Toys for Tots Christmas show planned for December 12th at ACIT in Mays Landing. The Godfather Plugs The Maplewood Inns Craine hands the microphone to another recurring character, the Godfather of the Boardwalk, for a comic pitch on behalf of The Maplewood Inns. In a gravelly Brando-style voice, the Godfather praises the veal parmesan, chicken parmesan, and clams casino at the Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing locations, crediting owner Jimmy and his family for the warm hospitality. He jokes that listeners can bring a wife or a girlfriend to dinner, just never both on the same night, and calls the Maplewood Inns a proud sponsor after fourteen years on the air. Craine returns to close the bit with a couple of quick Halloween one-liners, including a joke about a hat and a bra and one about warlocks having no children, before checking in on whether his phone guest has been connected yet and reminding listeners that suggestions for future guests can be sent through bbsradio.com while the search for Ron Dante continues. Ron Dante Joins By Phone Ron Dante finally comes on the line, and Craine apologizes for calling him at seven in the morning his time before catching up on the road. Dante explains that the summer's sixty-five-date Happy Together Tour went so well that promoters booked next year's dates before the tour even ended, with a lineup close to this year's mix of acts. He tells Craine about an upcoming show with the 1910 Fruitgum Company and Peter Noone, tentatively in Schenectady on November 17th, though he admits he needs to check the exact date. The two swap memories of Steel Pier, where Craine says he watched Peter Noone draw fainting fans four times between the mid and late 1960s; Dante laughs that his own audiences do not faint but do know every word. Craine mentions hearing The Mills Brothers cover Happy Together and asks about Dante's Funhouse album, autographed photos, and vinyl, which Dante says are all available through Amazon while his website is being rebuilt. From The Detergents To Sugar Sugar And Tracy Dante traces his career back to Staten Island, where he rode a ferry, bus, and subway to reach the Brill Building and eventually auditioned for producer Don Kirshner, who signed him to his first contract. His first hit came with the novelty group The Detergents on Leader of the Laundromat, a parody of The Shangri-Las' Leader of the Pack, which sent him on the road with the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars in 1965 alongside Herman's Hermits, Little Anthony and the Imperials, and Freddy Cannon. He explains how songwriters Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss, who also wrote Leader of the Laundromat, later called him in to record a demo of Tracy, layering roughly twenty vocal tracks of his own voice; the demo sold as-is and became a hit under the name The Cuff Links, charting in the top ten...
