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.
“Hooked on a Feeling” is a classic pop song that has been covered by various artists over the years. The song was originally written by Mark James and was first recorded by B.J. Thomas in 1968.
