Songs by Neil Brian Goldberg

The Archies band from the “Archie’s Fun House” TV show, which featured the

Giant Jukebox and a live children’s

audience, were ficticious cartoon characters created from Archies Comics. The band includes: lead singer and guitarist, Archie Andrews; bassist, Reggie Mantle; tambourinist, Betty Cooper; keyboardist, Veronica Lodge; and drummer, Jughead Jones. Hot Dog was Judhead’s dog and mascot for the group.

The real band consisted of vocalists Ron Dante and Toni Wine. For more information, click here and here.

List of Neil’s songs

The following list of beloved “Giant Jukebox” songs from the 1970 “Archies Funhouse” TV shows were all written, arranged, directed, and produced in the studio by Neil Brian Goldberg. Neil also played rhythm guitar and was session leader on all the tracks, and sang background on a number of tracks. The list of 32 titles features “Mr. Factory,” the first musical plea to clean up the environment that made major airwaves, which has become a national treasure.

Neil is still grateful to Jeff Barry for giving him the deal to write these songs, which included having his wife Nancy Barry’s name appear on each song.
