‘Didn’t mean to make ya blue…’ (The Rubettes, ‘Sugar Baby Love,’ 1974)
The Rubettes debut single, “Sugar Baby Love,” went to the very top of the UK charts and made a respectable dent in the US Top 40, nestling in at #30 in early 1974.
I don’t know if I’d ever heard this tune before, but it’s got a crackin’ falsetto vocal and a chugging, 1950s-meets-glam style. How does your memory serve?
