Sugar Ray

BIOGRAPHy

The mind-blowing popularity of their first big hit, “Fly,” found Sugar Ray dominating America’s airwaves – the song held the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart for six consecutive weeks while the song’s companion clip was a number one video on MTV, VH1, and The Box. Sugar Ray appeared on many television programs, including “Late Show With David Letterman,” “The Rosie O’Donnell Show,” “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” and “The Howard Stern Show,” not to mention leader Mark McGrath’s smart appearances on “Politically Incorrect” and VH1’s “Rock ‘N’ Roll Jeopardy.” Sugar Ray continues to tour and conquer the world. They’re fly!
