“Green-Eyed Lady” #3 10/17/1970

The first of Sugarloaf’s two huge hits. An early member of a predecessor band was Jimmy Greenspoon, who went on to become Three Dog Night’s keyboardist. The Denver-area group had been called Chocolate Hair but their label asked for a change citing possible political incorrectness, so they took a new name from a mountain outside of Boulder. The song ran almost seven minutes, thus several edits exist. The unedited album version is preferred today.
