70s Artist Watch:Andy Kim

If you remember in 1969 the big novelty hit "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies, then you may not have known that one of the writers was a Mr Andy Kim, who was born in Canada as  Andrew Youakim around 1950. His first single in the music of the 70s was in 1970 , a cover of the Ronettes hit "Be My Baby" which was a fair hit in the US.

The next three singles did not chart, so it was not until 1974 that Andy had his biggest hit from the music of the 70s, "Rock Me Gently" which Andy  had on his own record label "Ice Records, but as I remember the B side was just an instrumental of the first side as Andy just did not have enough money, but lucky for him Capitol records liked the single and  took over as the label to promote the single ,and that was Andy's contribution to the music of the 70s.
