"Rainbow" by Sugar Ray

Led by Mark McGrath, Sugar Ray is a pop rock band that bursted out of California in a big way with the #1 smash called "Fly" from 1997. "Fly" spent an impressive six weeks on top the chart and gave the band enough momentum to capture all 15 minutes of their fame.

Their next effort, presciently titled "14:59," yielded a couple more favorites at the turn of the millennium. "Every Morning" peaked at #3 for 3 weeks, followed by "Someday," which reached #7, and finally "Falls Apart (Run Away)," which topped out at #29.

But the 15 minutes were just about up. In 2001, they made one final appearance in the Top 40 with "When It's Over" (#13) and haven't sweetened the chart since. After their 2003 release, "In The Pursuit Of Leisure," failed to yield a hit, the band disappeared.

Sugar Ray resurfaced in 2009 to deliver "Music For Cougars," from which the pleasant track "Rainbow" is lifted, and again in 2019 with "Little Yachty."
