Our second set of candles belongs to Denver, Colorado born vocalist and keyboardist, Jerry Corbetta, best known as the front man for the for the Colorado rock band Sugarloaf. Jerry was born in 1947 and passed away September 16, 2016, age 68, from Pick's disease. Today would have been his 76th Birthday. With him in mind we spotlight this 1971 Liberty Records release, "Tongue in Cheek". The tune was written by guitarist, Robert Yeazel, produced by Frank Slay and reached #55 on the Hot 100 and #40 in Canada. It is b/w the song "Woman" and both tracks are from their second record, Spaceship Earth, which we own and have featured on this very page.
