Sugarloaf
Band Denver United States Active 1969–1975 1970s American rock band
Sugarloaf formed in 1969 in Denver, United States and was active until 1975. Sugarloaf has 15 chart appearances on 15 radio countdowns from 9 stations on RockLists, spanning 1991–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Green Eyed Lady”, which appears on 15 lists with a best position of #245. The station that charted Sugarloaf most often is KISW (Seattle-Tacoma, WA), with 3 appearances.
Sugarloaf came out of Denver, starting life under the name Chocolate Hair before settling on something that sounded more like a mountain. Jerry Corbetta on keyboards and organ, Bob Webber on guitar and David Riordan were in the lineup, and Liberty Records put out their self-titled album in 1970. It carried "Green-Eyed Lady", one of the two top 10 hits the band scored, along with "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You".
"Green-Eyed Lady" is a full-blown head trip for the AM dial: Corbetta's organ swirling like smoke in a light show, a loping bass line and a long instrumental stretch built for getting lost in. It was psychedelic rock with a pop singer's eye for a melody, and it has kept turning up on the countdowns decades later. The band called it quits in 1975.
