The 5th Dimension triumphed at the Grammy with "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In"; Tommy Roe had a catchy pop number with "Dizzy"; the number one song of the year 1969 was "Sugar, Sugar", performed by the non-human animated group The Archies; Tommy James and the Shondells had two of the year's most memorable songs with "Crimson And Clover" and "Crystal Blue Persuasion", which were perfect for the era; the studio group Steam had one of the catchiest sing-alongs with "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"; a favorite R&B song was "Take A Letter, Maria" by R.B. Greaves; the Foundations were also on the air with "Build Me Up Buttercup"; British group the Zombies landed their final song "Time Of The Zombies" into the pop charts; "Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver was a stand-out number from the Broadway musical "Hair".
