About Sugar Ray
Sugar Ray formed in 1986 in Newport Beach, California, and released its debut, Lemonade and Brownies, on Atlantic in 1995, a record of rap-inflected funk metal. The second album, Floored (1997), carried 'Fly', featuring dancehall vocalist Super Cat, and pushed the band toward breezy, sun-bleached pop rock.
That turn defined 14:59 (1999), titled as a joke about their fifteen minutes of fame running out, which produced 'Every Morning' and 'Someday'. 'When It's Over' followed on their self-titled 2001 album. The classic lineup included guitarist Rodney Sheppard, bassist Murphy Karges, drummer Stan Frazier and DJ Homicide on turntables.
