Five years after the auspicious start, the quartet disbanded. However, Jerry Corbetta's career flourished as he pursued his
solo performances, and his song writing. At the same time, with Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, Jerry co-produced the Frankie Valli
hit album, "Heaven Above Me," and then joined Valli with the 4 Seasons on a concert tour as keyboardist/vocalist.
During this period, Jerry collaborated once again with Bob Crewe in writing a huge hit for Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson,
"You're Feelin' Like Love To Me." He also co-wrote the hit song for Englebert Humperdink, "After You."
Today, Jerry Corbetta continues his song writing, producing, and touring with his band, The Classic Rock All Stars.

in a song.

Sugarloaf right back into the spotlight.

"I wrote a bunch of songs, and my producer, Frank Slay, he went to most of the
companies, but they wouldn't sign us. I was living in Los Angeles at the time," says
Jerry. "So I went back to Denver, and my friend Rick Block had a studio, and he had a
piano in there. So I started coming up with the riff for 'Don't Call Us, We'll Call You.'
And then I had the chorus, because 'Don't Call Us, We'll Call You,' it was sort of a stab
at the record companies. A lot of them didn't call us back.
"I made the track and then I went back out to Los Angeles. My friend John Carter, who
wrote the song 'Incense And Peppermints' for the Strawberry Alarm Clock, he worked at
Capitol Records. He was an A&R guy. And he came over on his lunch hour, and he and
I sat down in Frank's office and we wrote the words to the song. And then we recorded
it. Frank Slay, he put it on his own label. He believed in the song, so he took a shot."
