Like The Archie Show before them, the band from Josie and the Pussycats released an album in December 1970; unlike the Archies though (who are shown only as cartoons), the actual performers are shown on the cover of the Josie and the Pussycats album, Josie and the Pussycats: Cathy Douglas, Patrice Holloway and Cherie Moor. Patrice Holloway had previously co-written a song called “You Made Me So Very Happy” with her sister Brenda Holloway along with Motown record producer Frank Wilson and their founder Berry Gordy. Brenda Holloway released this song on Tamla Records in 1967, and “You Made Me So Very Happy” became a major hit for Blood, Sweat and Tears in 1969.
