Sugarloaf was a Denver, Colorado based rock and roll band in the 1970s featuring Jerry Corbetta, Bob Yeazel, Bob MacVittie, Bob Webber and Bob Raymond.
The band was originally known as Chocolate Hair. They changed their name to Sugarloaf, named after a mountain outside of Boulder, when they received their first recording contract.
They are best known for two songs, both of which hit the top 10 charts in the United States: "Green-Eyed Lady" in the autumn of 1970 (their biggest hit, reaching #3 on the Billboard chart), and "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" in 1975 (US #9). 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 near the beginning and ending of the song. Those numbers were an unlisted phone number at CBS Records and a public number at the White House respectively. (excerpted from wikipedia)
