Sugar –Hot Damn/Let It Roll –Lady Records UR-898 (1976 US)
Driven by a gleaming cowbell, Hot Damn is a thumping piece of Riff Rock leaning towards Bonehead Boogie with Glam overtones provided by the camp vocals. These guys were not Glitter clad cross-dressers, but the singer comes across like a truck driver in stilettos with his amusing delivery. The lyrics are a real hoot -Good ol’ boy ethics on how Atlanta boys only want to rock while dissing non-Southerners and wussy English accents. Hot Damn is a joyfully dumb yet juicy Georgia peach.

If I remember well Goodfellow was actually much more known as a producer. For sure I own the Gidian League Parlophone 7" (from '69!), composed and produced by RG
Today I was wearing my Sugar T-shirt, with the 'Hot Damn!' graphics on the front and Sugar logo on back, printed silver on black. My mother caught it while surf fishing on Topsail Island, NC, circa 1976-77. Glad finally to know from whence it came...
Wow very cool!
