The Clique are a late 1960s U.S. sunshine pop band from Houston, Texas.
The group centered around record producer and songwriter Gary Zekley, and often employed session musicians. Their only album, The Clique (1969), released by White Whale Records, featured the singles "I'll Hold Out My Hand" and "Sugar on Sunday" which reached #45 and #22 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, respectively. "Sugar on Sunday" was a cover of a Tommy James song and its B-Side, "Superman", was covered by R.E.M. on their album Lifes Rich Pageant.
The Clique reached #177 on the Billboard Hot 200 album chart. A 1970 single, "Sparkle and Shine", reached #100; this song is included, along with six other added songs, on the 1998 re-release of The Clique put out by Varese Sarabande.
