The trio consisted of lead singer Dave Rowland and initially on backing vocals, Vicki Hackeman and Jackie Frantz.
Dave & Sugar were sometimes called "The country ABBA" because of their slickly produced sound as well as blend of male and female voices.
The "Sugar" line-up changed several times during the group's run of success, while the two original singers were Jackie Frantz and Vicki Hackeman.
[3] Rowland disbanded the trio briefly during the early 1980s to try a solo career,[3] releasing an album entitled (appropriately) Sugar Free and charting two singles of his own.
[6] Rowland later reformed the trio with two new sets of "Sugar" partners: Cindy Smith and Lisa Alvey, followed by Regina Leigh and Lori Mason.
