@sandybruce9092. USMC 64--68. June 1964. Depending on when in June this was broadcast I was either graduating from Boot Camp at Parris Island or stationed at Camp Lejeune with Charlie Co. 1/6. 2Nd Marine Division. I was a little over 18 1/2, but I still remember. Those were some great times. Oh. By the way. I still have this record.
Anne "Honey" Lantree was one of the very few women drummers to make it big on the world stage, preceding Karen Carpenter by ten years. Thanks for uploading this great song from the time when the Beatles first appeared in America.
This caught my attention because I saw a woman - clearly from the 60s -playing drums! Really interesting to see that she preceded Karen Carpenter by a decade. Of course, there were many women musicians , going back to the 1920s, who played many different instruments but you’d never recognize their names. This is especially true for jazz, but it’s true for most genres. It was okay for women to play “feminine” instruments like the piano, guitar or violin. Drums, electric guitar, brass instruments were all seen as too masculine for women. Even with Karen Carpenter, she was on the drum kit for about a minute, and from then on she only was a vocalist. Really dumb!
And yet the group don't seem to claim to be pioneers in womens rights. One of the problems is that there were many women pioneers (Delia Derbyshire and Daphnie Oram to name but two) in music but even the people these days who claim to be concerned about it don't even know about these legends. Surely that says more about them than anything else.
I'm from the SF Bay Area, and in the 60's we had a local group called the Vejtables (they eventually became the mojo men) with a hit "I still love you" that had a female drummer Jan Errico who was so pretty and talented. I also love her voice in "Sit down I think I love you" when she was with the mojo men.
I look back now and wonder what all the fuss with the Beatles was about. Four clean cut kids wearing suits and ties and singing 'I want to hold your hand'. If they only knew what was coming...
@ In ‘64, young men with hair over their ears was unacceptable. Only beatnicks and wierdos wore their hair long. For men, it was the short brush cut or comb back if it was longer. Nothing over your ears and no bangs over your forehead. That was for girls. We still had the draft and men had to get ready for their military service haircut.
60 years and still holds up. A true banger! Was just playing it and my mama heard, I was like, you remember this, right? She did, was a junior in high school at that time.
I remember this as a little boy living in the country of Northern California San Joaquin county 8 miles west of Lodi California in 1964 when this was played on AM radio at my parents house. I was borned in 1957 and from then on til 2024 it's one of my favorite songs from the 1960s.
I was there and I can tell you that no one made a big deal about it. She was a drummer, so? Maybe a second look, but no big discussion. She was not followed by a string of female drummers in the 60s. My younger sister was a drummer in a Punk Band in the late '70s and early '80s, but that was no big deal, either. She didn't get picked up because she was a female. She just played locally for a while.
I was 13 when this song arrived in the U.S. It almost shocked me with its intensity. I've seen this video popping on on UA-cam for years now. I must say that this is probably the best-produced music video of the mid-60s. The stage design and the idea of the matching instruments, etc. Best of all, no one was screaming about a female drummer, so everyone just accepted it. And everyone loved her. She was like some girl in your class who could drum. Honey, for sure! I love the little joke of the guitarist chopping the singer's head and him smiling at it. In the longer shot, (this video is cropped in), he does it twice as he comes by him two times.
Dennis, lead singer was an older friend of mine. I got to know him through his younger brother Laurie. The used to play together in the late 70s in the Badger Pub in Chigwell. A nice guy. Great guitar player and vocalist. The landlords of the Badger, Den & Edie has a house in Dagenham and a few times after the pub shut we'd end up round there drinking and Dennis would play songs on his acoustic guitar. Thanks for posting the video as I haven't thought about Dennis for a long time.
The Honeycombs. Anne margot coxall... [ Honey Lantree ] An Incredible Lady drummer. Fantastic footage of the golden era of music. A time we'll never see again.
From the movie Pop Gear 1965. Lots of other cool videos. The Animals, Peter and Gordon, Hermans Hermits, Spencer Davis Group were in the movie plus a whole lot more.
Same here, I was 17 in 1964 and my birthday in June. A sad memory I have, a few of us were listening to T.O.T.P. and I said this said this will be no. one next week, sure enough it was and that week one of my friends said "How did you know that" He died not long after that, I can still hear his voice asking me.
I was 25 in 1964 here in the Midlands. isnt it amazing that so many 80 year olds have found each other on the interweb. like you I go down the local nightclub in me 80s
I've sung this song since I was a kid ( 50 or more years ago), but I never knew who sung it. My older brother played it over and over so that I had memorised it. It came up on my feed, and I'm so pleased I can play it and see the band! thanks!
I was a kid when this song came out. One of my older sisters bought it. Haven’t heard it in years. Brought back some lovely memories. Thanks for uploading
Brilliant, my mum and dad listened to this. A lady drummer as well. Nice one. Shouldn't keep adding to this I suppose but how smart and clean cut they look. What a great time to create music. Must have listened 30 or 40 times now I like it so much.
When it came out and our parents were gone, we would put that 45 on the “ Magnificent Magnavox” HiFi and when the instrumental came THAT BASS was all over the house and I never heard a bass that was played so well. Love that song!!🎉
I used to play the Dave Clark Five's record Glad All Over so loud that my father would temporarily cut off the power to the upper storey of the house so I couldn't play the record~!!
this is the first time I’ve actually seen The Honeycombs perform - I usually got my rock viewing in the old Ed Sullivan shows from the. 50s and 60s - but I can always hear them in the 60s channel in SXM! I didn’t know their drummer was female - very cool!!!
Going to work in a bar today , the manager was telling me about this guy singing doing some hilarious stuff somewhere. Great singer , great song and i think we all love the drummer. Burns guitars too , a great brand of guitar
In the summer of 1964 I was a student at Los Angeles Valley College. I'd often have my lunch at an off-campus restaurant that had a jukebox. If you selected "Have I the Right" it would play over and over until someone came to reset it. So naturally, I'd select the song every time I visited. Someone would always say when they saw me walk over to the jukebox, "Don't hit B-4!" I really loved this song. I have no idea who the guys are, but absolutely loved Honey Lantree! RIP, Sweetie!
I was a kid growing up in the '60s (I was 8 in 1964), and I really did get into the British rock bands back then (and of course prog rock ELP, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, and so forth when I was a teen). But as back I can remember, I never heard of The Honeycombs. I must say they were pretty damn good back then. And a female drummer in the group, very rare back then and just priceless.

@@RobertStambaugh-l5r More like 1958 to 1962. Artists like Francis, Pat Boone and Chubby Checker suddenly found themselves challenged to produce major hits once the British Invasion got underway.
Wow, what great idea. I must be old. About 12 years ago I had the younger sister of a friend of mine set my ringtone to be a song I liked but I have no idea how she did it.
Yup...brings back fond memories of driving around on Saturday night dates with my high school sweetheart, singing this at the top of our lungs. Such a catchy and unique tune. And The Honeycombs never produced another that came even close to this classic.
Great tune. I can remember taping it off the TV when this British Invasion movie came on in the 70s. Had to carry the tape recorder into the local record store to find out who these guys (gal) were called. Owes a bit of a debt to the Dave Clark 5.
This is one of those 60s hits which sounds just as good today as way back then.
This sounds very fresh🎉
It's that unmistakable Joe Meek sound!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I had almost forgotten this song and group. Tis sweet to recall a much simpler and better time.
So many good groups back in the 60s. Just like these.
A rare treat to see a female drummer back then in the 1960s.
Click on the link in the description to see another young female drummer from the same year, let me know what you think 😊

Where has all the records gone so very entertaining love this type of music I grew up listening to tunes like this
Boy, their grand kids have something really cool to look back on.
I love the way the bands wore suits back in the days.
And the way their electric guitars weren't plugged in!
Great track, one of the first records I ever bought.
...and no TATTOOS, either!
if you look at top of the Pops highlights, even the Rolling Stones did!
Loved this song in 1964, 60 years ago, and love it still today!
😊👏👏👏
I keep going back to this hit im 72 now I just love it fantastic 👏 how I wish I could go back to the 1964
Just a beautiful song, I will never stop loving it. Absolutely wonderful !
😊👏👏👏🫶
60 years old, but still a fantastic sound, a melody forever
238 years old now still nice song
2024 still here in this song 2024 I'm still watching the video on the phone with the UA-cam channel
My sentiments exactly !
Yes, this is a standout song even for the time, and a wonderful video. So well done!
2024 and Im just hearing this song for the 1st time...what? SO GOOD!!

Excellent song, and look at those Burns guitars !
You got that right !!
They're beautiful.

Everything about this video is great. The guitars are amazing looking, and the female drummer is a big change from the usual.
Still sounds great 60 years later
Probably one of the best sounding pieces from that era....

What an absolute belter of a tune and song.
Her technique playing that rhythm of beats was her own style. Never heard anyone else play a drum beat like that!

Yeah? How many female drummers followed her in the 60s? (My sister was as drummer in a Punk band in the 1970s-80s).

So much to love about this song. I always liked it. Hasn't aged one bit.

One of the very best tracks of the era. This song introduced me into music.

@@RobertStambaugh-l5r More like 1958 to 1962. Artists like Francis, Pat Boone and Chubby Checker suddenly found themselves challenged to produce major hits once the British Invasion got underway.
Thank you for your work!!!! Amazing...
Oh my…. This is when it was great. Clean dressed, respectful and just downright good. And yes I was singing. Great times.
Back in the 60's they used to have a second feature in the movie theatres, often it would be a collection of these popular musical performances.
This one was from the feature Pop Gear. Or or Go Go Mania for US release. Lots of clips from these films on UA-cam looking great.
Brilliant song I saw the honeycombs in 1976 in uki have this as my ringtone cracking song
Wow! What a ringtone Shirley, nice one 👏👏😊
@@thesquaredisc yes love it
Wow, what great idea. I must be old. About 12 years ago I had the younger sister of a friend of mine set my ringtone to be a song I liked but I have no idea how she did it.
I was 10 years old and this song seemed to be played everywhere , and builders on work sites whistled it and sang it at the top of their voices 😂
Me too
Yup...brings back fond memories of driving around on Saturday night dates with my high school sweetheart, singing this at the top of our lungs. Such a catchy and unique tune. And The Honeycombs never produced another that came even close to this classic.
Brilliant piece of musical history. ❤❤❤❤
👏👏👏😊
Great tune. I can remember taping it off the TV when this British Invasion movie came on in the 70s. Had to carry the tape recorder into the local record store to find out who these guys (gal) were called. Owes a bit of a debt to the Dave Clark 5.
Yup..."Glad All Over" and "Bits And Pieces" come to mind.
I had a 1964 Burns Bison like the ones being used here. Great guitar.
