My first SOS Award goes to Sugar, Sugar by the Archies!
The SOS awards (Stand Out Singles) will go to some of my favorite singles. The rules are that the single was released in the United States, and is a 7″, 45 RPM record. While it will be a bonus if the single charted well, or has a great B-side, that will not affect the awarding.
The pop/reggae singer Johnny Nash died of natural causes on October 6, 2020, at his home and birthplace, Houston, Texas. He was 80 years old, his son said he had been in declining health. Johnny started singing R&B covers on TV at age 13 in 1953 and soon sang on Arthur Godfrey’s radio and TV shows on a seven-year contract.
