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 http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/jerry_corbetta - 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:

Sorry, couldn't find samples either. Cry

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.
