This page will contain discussion groups about Sugarloaf (band), as they become available.Sugarloaf (band)Sugarloaf was a Denver, Colorado-based rock & roll band in the 1970s featuring Jerry Corbetta. The band was originally known as Chocolate Hair. They changed their name to Sugarloaf, named after a mountain range in Colorado, when they received their first recording contract. Sugarloaf released four albums:
The 1975 album Don't Call Us, We'll Call You was a re-release of their 1973 album I Got A Song, with one of the tracks on the earlier album replaced by the title track of the later album, which had become a hit single. They are best known for two songs, both of which hit the top 10 charts in the United States: "Green-Eyed Lady" in 1970, and "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" in 1975. Other songs which charted on the Billboard Magazine top 100 singles charts were "Mother Nature's Wine" (1971), "Tongue in Cheek" (1971), and "Stars In Our Eyes" (1976). In addition, "West of Tomorrow" and "Myra Myra" were not hit singles, but received extensive airplay at the time of their release on album rock radio stations. The song "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" is notable because it contained a practical joke at the expense of CBS Records, which had just turned them down for a recording contract. The song includes the sound of a touch-tone telephone number being dialed. That number was an unlisted phone number at CBS Records, and would have dialed that number had a telephone been held up to the speaker as the song played. Jerry Corbetta later went on to perform with the groups Wild Cherry (best known for their hit "Play That Funky Music"), and Disco Tex and the Sex-o-Lettes (best known for their hit "Get Dancin'").

Jerry Corbetta later went on to perform with the groups Wild Cherry (best known for their hit "Play That Funky Music"), and Disco Tex and the Sex-o-Lettes (best known for their hit "Get Dancin'"). However, mainstream success has mainly only come to Trina thus far in the form of her featured status on other artists' hit singles, for example Missy Elliott's "One Minute Man" and the remix of Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy". That number was an unlisted phone number at CBS Records, and would have dialed that number had a telephone been held up to the speaker as the song played. Trina has since released a couple other singles of her own, notably "Told Y'all" from the All About The Benjamins movie soundtrack in 2002 and "B R Right", a nasty duet with Ludacris and the first single off of her 2003 sophomore album. The song includes the sound of a touch-tone telephone number being dialed. The video ends with the words, "Getting Revenge On Your Boyfriend...Priceless". The song "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" is notable because it contained a practical joke at the expense of CBS Records, which had just turned them down for a recording contract. In the video, Trina systematically destroys a cheating boyfriend's mansion and possessions one by one, and the value of each item is displayed on screen as it is ruined. In addition, "West of Tomorrow" and "Myra Myra" were not hit singles, but received extensive airplay at the time of their release on album rock radio stations. "Baddest Bitch", another single from the album, though not a radio or video hit received heavy MTV2 airplay due to its clever spoofing of the Master Card "Priceless" commercials of the day. Other songs which charted on the Billboard Magazine top 100 singles charts were "Mother Nature's Wine" (1971), "Tongue in Cheek" (1971), and "Stars In Our Eyes" (1976). The lyrics to "Pull Over" allude to Black Rob's "Whoa!", Juvenile's "Back That Ass Up", and Sisqo's "Thong Song", from which some of "Pull Over"'s lyrics are directly lifted. They are best known for two songs, both of which hit the top 10 charts in the United States: "Green-Eyed Lady" in 1970, and "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" in 1975. "Pull Over", which featured Trick Daddy on the chorus, became a success partially due to its being something of an answer single to several past hip-hop songs such as Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back". The 1975 album Don't Call Us, We'll Call You was a re-release of their 1973 album I Got A Song, with one of the tracks on the earlier album replaced by the title track of the later album, which had become a hit single. Her debut album, Da Baddest Bitch, was released in 2000 and is best remembered for its hit single "Pull Over". Sugarloaf released four albums:. Trina is signed to Atlantic Records through the Slip-N-Slide imprint, abd is a labelmate of Trick Daddy. They changed their name to Sugarloaf, named after a mountain range in Colorado, when they received their first recording contract. Trina (born Katrina Taylor on December 3, 1978 in Miami, Florida) is a African-American female rapper.
