About The Record:

That's the Way Love Should Be, by Dave And Sugar, is the trio's second studio album, showcasing their signature pop-infused country sound with lush harmonies and upbeat arrangements. It features a mix of original tracks and covers, including Don't Throw It All Away (a cover of a pop hit previously recorded by artists like Olivia Newton-John), Got Leavin' on Your Mind (a nod to Patsy Cline), and It's a Beautiful Morning with You (a Barbara Mandrell cover, continuing the group's pattern of including her songs). A unique aspect is that it marked an early lineup change, with Sue Powell joining as one of the "Sugar" vocalists. The title track That's the Way Love Should Be became a fan-favorite for its feel-good vibe, while other notable songs include I'm Knee Deep in Loving You. The album itself reached No. 10 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, and it produced hit singles such as Don't Throw It All Away (No. 5 on the country chart), That's the Way Love Should Be (No. 7), and I'm Knee Deep in Loving You (No. 2).
