Slay got Chocolate Hair signed to Liberty Records after Liberty liked the demos the band presented to them. Name change and the Liberty years Ĭorbetta and Webber were signed to Frank Slay at this time and began recording demos during 1969. During his stint in The Moonrakers, he had gone back to playing drums but one of his main reasons for leaving to form the new band was his desire to return to playing keyboards. Corbetta had originally started out as a drummer at the age of 4 before switching over to keyboards by age 7. In late 1968, Corbetta and Webber formed the band Chocolate Hair, including drummer Myron Pollock, who'd played previously with Corbetta, plus Webber's friend, bassist Bob Raymond. The Moonrakers had evolved from the early 1960s band The Classics (previously The Surfin' Classics, until dropping their surf music focus)-various members of all three incarnations would later appear on Sugarloaf songs. The Moonrakers had previously released 4 singles on Tower three of the songs being collected in 2005 on the Colorado garage rock compilation album Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 18 and another having been released earlier on the Pebbles Volume 10 LP. Lead vocalist and keyboardist Jerry Corbetta, along with guitarist Bob Webber, played together in the Denver-based band The Moonrakers.
