Coming up this 70s rock band ruled radio on their first release… Green Eyed Lady by the band Sugarloaf flew out of the gates as an irresistible ditty fronted by a sensational bass line and mysterious lyrics about a beautiful lady that took the band to the top of the charts quickly. But then the band fell apart. Then they lost their record deal.. Not once but TWICE! Desperate to overcome being labeled a one hit wonder the band reformed and recorded at a friend’s studio. They did a song about the real struggle of trying to get the record label to notice them and the cut throat experience they battled through to get That first and only hit. It worked! The song Don’t Call us We’ll Call you gave them another hit but would they be able to turn that momentum into long term success or fade away again. an original surviving band member, Guitarist Bob Webber tells us both the story of these 2 hits. Singer Jerry Corbetta passed away several years back leaving Bob to tell us the history.

I’m excited to bring you another episode from our series Revelations- where featured artists go deep on their greatest songs. On today’s episode we talk to a surviving member of the 70s band Sugarloaf who’s Green Eyed Lady has become a 70s classic. the band Sugarloaf started the 70s off with a bang as their debut single became an overnight smash. Green Eyed lady written by singer Jerry Corbetta and 2 others was an instant crowd pleaser with it’s ear catching baseline and the laid back cool swagger of Corbetta’s voice the song was actually inspired by Corbetta’s girlfriend at the time. It hit #1 on the Rpm charts and #3 on the billboard hot 100. Sugarloaf was actually not the original name of this band. Singer Jerry Corbetta and today’s interview guitarist Bob webber had played together in a band called the moonrakers then they formed the band Chocolate Hair this was the group that recorded Green Eyed Lady but then just before they released it, the record label talked them into changing their name to Sugarloaf which was the name of a mountain in Colorado.
After the record went to #1 in different part of the US the band went through some changes and released their second album Spaceship earth and it sputtered.. The two single from the album tounge in cheek and mother natures wine missed the top 40/ During this time the band toured with the likes of Deep Purple, Eric Burdon and War, The who and others but the band everyone left the group with singer jerry Corbetta left under the band name but basically the band was broken up. . Then to make matters worse their label dropped them until Corbetta signed Neil Bogarts Brut Records.
The band actually came back together to record a third album that didn’t do much and then Brut Records folded leaving them in jeopardy once again. So they went into a friend studio in Denver and recorded a new song.
