A Short History of … “A Taste of Honey”

[dcl 3,276]

Something I listened to as a teen, we had several of the Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass LPs. Interesting backstory.

Very interesting information...

 

For years I wasn’t aware that Herb Alpert was the A in A&M records.

The thread title through me, Lol.  A Taste of Honey was a two female R&B group in the 70’s.

You read my mind!  I saw that and thought "Boogie Oogie Oogie..."

That was one of three of my first albums I purchased from KMart when I was 10 years old. I believe I still have it. 

That said, I was really floored when i heard this version a few years ago and I still love it.

My parents had this album.  I had no idea there was a record in there.   ?

The Martin Denny version is my favorite, we had this LP, too. The Beatles' version on their Please Please Me LP was a head scratcher for me.
