Sugarloaf was an American heavy/eclectic prog rock band which played similar style to Birth Control, Deep Purple, Frumpy and so on. The leader of the band was organist Jerry Corbetta. They had one major hit "Green Eyed Lady" with fantastic long organ solo in the middle of the song.

They recorded 4 studio albums:

Sugarloaf (1970)

I Got a Song (1973)

Don't Call Us - We'll Call You (1975)

Their best one is a debut with previosuly mentioned "Green Eyed Lady" and "Medley: Bach Doors Man / Chest Fever" with Emerson-inspired organ.

	Sorry, couldn't find samples either. But you can find some of their songs on youtube (especially "Green Eyed Lady")

	^ YouTube samples are welcome, posting them along with the written information is very helpful. Here is Green Eyed Lady: Sounds nice and prog. I'm not sure which genre would fit them best; I'll alert the Heavy prog team first.
