Dave & Sugar
Dave & Sugar was a pop-styled American
country music trio which enjoyed its peak success in the mid- to late-1970s. The trio consisted of
lead singer Dave Rowland and initially on backing vocals, Vicki Hackeman and Jackie Frantz. Over time, the female members ("Sugar") of the group changed: Frantz was replaced by
Sue Powell in 1977, who in turn was replaced by Jamie Kaye in 1980, while Hackeman was replaced by Melissa Dean (
Etta Britt) in January 1979. Overall, Dave & Sugar charted 16 times on the ''
Billboard'' country charts, including three No. 1 hits: "
The Door Is Always Open", "
Tear Time" and "
Golden Tears". Powell also had two chart singles outside the group. Dave & Sugar were sometimes called "The country
ABBA" because of their slickly produced sound as well as blend of male and female voices.
