Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf, originally known as Chocolate Hair, is an American rock band formed in Denver, Colorado, in 1968. The group consisted of lead vocalist and keyboardist Jerry Corbetta, guitarist Bob Webber, drummer Myron Pollock, and bassist Bob Raymond. Initially, the band released four singles under the name Moonrakers before transitioning to Chocolate Hair. In late 1968, they signed with Liberty Records and began recording demos that would later be included on their debut album. Sugarloaf's breakthrough came with the release of "Green-Eyed Lady" in October 1970, which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard chart. Their self-titled debut album reached number 24 on the charts. The band's lineup expanded to include singer/guitarist/composer Bob Yeazel and bassist Bobby Pickett. They recorded two albums with producer Norman Petty, including Spaceship Earth in January 1971. Despite heavy touring with acts like The Who and Deep Purple, their subsequent singles did not achieve the same level of success. By mid-1972, Yeazel and Pickett left the band, followed by other members later that year, leaving Corbetta with the rights to the Sugarloaf name. After a period of inactivity, Corbetta reformed the group under Brut Records in 1973, releasing I Got a Song. The band's final notable hit was "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" in 1974, which included a practical joke aimed at CBS Records. Sugarloaf disbanded shortly after, with Corbetta retaining the rights to the name until his death in 2016.
