OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO A GREAT, A GO-GO LEGEND, A D.C. PHENOMENON! [FROM D.C. SISTER GIRLS]
Sugar Bear Crankin!!
Go-Go Pioneer Gregory "Sugar Bear" Elliott who plays bass and sings with EU /Maiesha & the HipHuggers, had a close call recently due to heart failure.
Sugar Bear got his start with EU which stands for Experience Unlimited. EU is one of DC's original go-go bands. The group formed in the late 1970's and helped define, refine and combine the musical components of the DC Go-Go Culture. EU produced the most recognized song in go-go history, "Da Butt " which was featured in Spike Lee's 1988 film "Skool Daze" after Lee saw the band perform. Also, the song "Livin' Large included a version of "It's Your Thing," performed with Salt-N-Pepa. After its hits, they toured clubs and colleges world-wide.
