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 😊
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.
@@mickram23 Oh bollocks to pioneers and women's rights, just listen to the music ffs.
😊👏👏👏
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.
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.
Check out another song I uploaded by The Ravens from 1964 too, it’ll bring a smile to your face as it did mine 😊👏🙏
I'm betting you're British.
Through and through 🇬🇧😊 I’m working on many more of these classic songs from my younger days
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!
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.
2024 and Im just hearing this song for the 1st time...what? SO GOOD!!
Welcome aboard!
What a bunch of clean-cut guys'ngal. Loved this song "back in the day" and it still sounds good!
Right On !! 👍😎
Yeah, I rocked to this song back in '64. I was 9 yrs old.
Honey Lantree was THE groundbreaker!
& groovy to boot
@russell-di8js 🕺🏽😊👏👏
Yeah? How many female drummers followed her in the 60s? (My sister was as drummer in a Punk band in the 1970s-80s).
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.
That’s great, thanks for popping by, this is a great old pop song 😊🫶
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!
Wow, this is a super magnificent song, Honey Lantree was a super gigantic killer drummer!!
👏👏👏👍😊
I can't get over how much the one guitarist looks like Ernie from "My Three Sons".
I thought it was Jerry Lewis
Heavy Buddy Holly influence. The song could even have been a Holly type number.
I was going to go Jerry Lewis, but yeah...
He's rockin it!
Toad from American Graffiti ???
Still sounds great 60 years later
Probably one of the best sounding pieces from that era....
@@jakoboleAgree 👍
I was 14 years old when I heard it... now I'm a little older, I still listen to it.😅
Still sounds fresh doesn’t it, love the uplifting vibes I get from this song 👏👏👏😊
Fantastic !!!! /👍
😊👏👏👏
When music was real.❤️🌹👍
Transports me back to my school days in the early sixties.
Same here. I never got to see them live but I did get to see The Applejacks... great times.
@Ruddigore Did you check out the Applejacks I’ve put up on my channel? Another great band 👏👏😊
@@thesquaredisc Not yet, but I will take a gander this evening. Cheers.
Me too. I stomped my 11 year old foot every time I heard it that year.
Just a beautiful song, I will never stop loving it. Absolutely wonderful !
😊👏👏👏🫶
Some absolutely killer drumming on this track...
I heartily concur !
Growing up in the 70's, this song, amongst many from the 60's, left a lasting mark on me. Not heard it for over 50 years
what 'lasting mark'? one of horror?? this is junk, mate
@@brianhammer5107 I was at an impressionable age 🙂
😊👏👏👏
Always liked this song sing hearing in the 1970s when a teen.
I LOVED this song! She was a great drummer (she is Honey the leader of the band)
This song and video needs to be seen by everyone
😊👏👏👏👏🫶
Why?
Roger, I’m sure it was just a nice compliment about thinking the song was good for its age. It would be a figure of speech that’s all.
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.
That’s a great share, thank you from another Dagenham lad after the East End. They were formed in Stepney too 😊👏👏
I especially loved the guitar work, the singing and, of course, Honey on the drums.
So much to love about this song. I always liked it. Hasn't aged one bit.
What a masterpiece in color saved for eternal ❤🎶
As Snagglepuss would say, "Indubitably!"
These songs will live forever.
I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion !
Ahhh, the good old days! Music was really music!
👏👏👏😊
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.
@AI_Image_Master thanks yes, brilliant movie type music videos, I’ve already put the Animals on the channel, I do have the others too 😊👏👍
Honey (Anne) Lantree (1943-2018), drummer with 1960s group The Honeycombs. She played drums on all the band’s recordings. International publicity followed their chart topping hit ‘Have I the Right?’ in 1964, making Honey Lantree the most acclaimed female drummer in the world at the time.
Spot on, thank you 👏👏😊
What an absolute belter of a tune and song.
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
That’s great, pleased you enjoyed the song after so much time not hearing it 😊👏👏👏
Oh my! I remember seeing the female drummer and thinking WHAT! I was so surprised, yet proud of her. Just a big WOW!
😊👏👏👏
I was in junior high when this song was being played on the radio. Never knew that they had a female drummer until now.
👏👏😊
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.
Another Joe Meek production. Amazing sounds he created, one of the biggest and best producers that ever produced.
The Joe Meek story is a remarkable journey, though ultimately it was a sad outcome, shame he had to live with the demons...
@BeasleyStreet very sad ending for Joe, life got the better of him unfortunately 🙏
all done in that small studio !
I had the great pleasure of seeing them play live at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen. It must have been late 1964 or early 65. I think it was my first live music gig. It seems so long ago!!
Wow! Thanks for sharing, what a lovely memory, I love this group but sadly never got to see them play live. Thank you 🙏😊👏👏
Yes, it sure was "long ago"...half a century + ten!
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.
As good as it ever was 60 years later.
Certainly is John, thanks matey 👏👏
Have earfulls of these musician's, enjoy, a really catchy song!!!
Thanks for sharing.
I remember clapping and my feet kicking the ground and gorgeous drummer x❤❤
Wow, I haven't heard this since I was a boy...never saw them perform it before! Those suits and ties sure looked good. RIP civilization...
Wow! Just wow! I can’t remember the last time I heard this. I must be old.
I was three,but it doesn't feel that long ago,and I'm not that old.😂
@@davidsmith3736 same here!
I was 13 and remember this song well. Loved it then and love it now. Greatest time to grow up in.
Music like this CANNOT JUST BE PHONED IN
Unless you're at the Joe Meeks level of genius
Brilliant piece of musical history. ❤❤❤❤
👏👏👏😊
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~!!
Honey drums now in heaven ❤!!!
I haven’t heard this classic in a long time.
Our local oldies station plays it regularly (thank heavens) !
A vibrant, exciting era in music bloody great!
i remember the song with it's driving drum beat by a gal drummer and clangy guitars but i didn't know they were a brit group.
One of the very best tracks of the era. This song introduced me into music.
agree 100%
Pure legends ❤😂
of all the songs I loved back then, this is the one that still gets me foot stomping and wailing on my air guitar
😊👏👏
Raise your hand if you were singing along ✋✋✋✋. How is it I can remember the words to songs over 50-60 yesrs ago and can’t remember this morning🫢🫢🫢🫢
👏👏👏😊
You know it !
@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.
Me too!
Why do we have to get old?
Heard this so many times ,never knew they had a female drummer
There weren’t many female drummers around back then, I have put a link to the Ravens song, they also had a young female drummer 😊
I was in my mid-teens when this song came out. It evokes lots of memories for me. It was very stylish for its day. I still like it now.
Nice one, thanks for sharing your memories with us 😊👏🙏
I was 10 years old working in my dad restaurant / bar , l loved the song ❤
Now that is a classic Joe Meek production!
Still sounds as fresh and exciting as the day it was released
Not a synthesizer in sight. Old school rock ‘n’ roll at its finest! And STILL listenable after 60 years!
What’s wrong with synthesizers? You’ve still got to be a skilled musician to be able to play and programme a synthesizer well. It’s not as simple as pushing a button. Also the producer of this track Joe Meek was one of earliest pioneers of electronic music 🤷🏻♂️
not a power lead insght....all mimed or LIP SYNC...LOL
Those Burns guitars..!🎸🇬🇧
Do you suspect they had sponsorship?????
And they sound great, even though they're not plugged in! 🙂
Brilliant 🎶 song with a great vibe!
The answer is Yes. The beat is always there in the heart or music. A different language. The ear are alive still.
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.
Very dim memories of hearing this on radio in the States. So fresh and joyful, exuding youthful energy and happiness. Luv it
😊👏👏👏
Gee that brings back some memories of the time just as great as it was the year of release.
Thanks Barny, it certainly does eh 👏👏😊🙏
What an eternal gem!
😊👏👏👏
Joe Meek magic...if you haven't seen the film Telstar yet, watch it as it's the Joe Meek story which is superbly acted and an absolutely brilliant film...
Fabulous film, thank you 😊👏👏👏
They dress smarter than all the politicians we have now , and sing better !
Tara King (Linda Thorson) of 60's "The Avengers" UK TV show has the same look as Honey here. Every time I see this, I think of her ☺
😊👏👏🙏
I had a 1964 Burns Bison like the ones being used here. Great guitar.
She gave me a hug when she/they opened a music store in Bedford. (Corner of the 'new' bus station).
That is Bedford in England. UK.
Love you honeycombs x❤
The lead singer had the look of Christopher Reeve.
Thanks for the upload. It's been many years since I last heard this song. 👍
👏👏😊🙏
In the 80s, early 90s, I used to go to a pub in Cardiff, and this kid in his 20s was often there with his parents. He had some sort of mental health issue and would sit quietly, never saying boo to a goose. But when this song came on the jukebox it was like someone flicked a switch and he'd be up gyrating and dancing like a good 'un. It was amazing to see the change in him. Everyone enjoyed his reaction. It was good to see him enjoying himself so much.
That’s a wonderful story, thank you for sharing 😊🙏👏
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!!!
This was miming as they usually did on TOTPs, but what a great happy sound so lucky to be part of the 60s pop revolution priceless.
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.
One of the best PAL analog recordings I've ever seen.
Thanks Greg 😊🙏
I really miss those days.
Pop Gear (USA title, Go Go Mania) is a British music revue film released in 1965. It includes this video as well as House of the Rising Sun by The Animals and many others.
I’ve put up the Animals too 😊🙏
Nice band, real 60's music, great times.
😊👏👏👍
So wie diese Typen sah mein Ehemann aus..Es war eine wunderbare Zeit ..Nun ist er noch 52Ehejahren nicht mehr bei mir...😢🤷♀️🙏Sicher geht es ihm nun besser...ohne Schmerzen...
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!
That’s great, I’m really pleased you enjoyed the memories this fabulous song has brought you. Many thanks 😊🙏👏👏
In early 1965 they had a big No. 1 hit in Sweden with "Thats The Way". Much due to the fact that they made a great TV apperance here, that everybody saw as we only had one TV channel at the time.
Another great song
I was singing to it.60s 70s is my era ❤
She's great but I'm digging the nutty professor playing guitar
Perfect.
They were using weird mic placements and other experimental techniques while recording this song in Joe Meek's apartment and it feels like they tried to match that feel by filling this video with equally weird camera angles so that the sound of the studio version and the look of the video would complement each other. Kinda cool.
A Joe Meek production - interesting. He was a genius with what he achieved.
@@martm216 edited for having inexplicably called him John LOL.
FINALLY SEEING A GIRL DRUMMER IN THIS ERA IS AMAZING!!
Check out the Ravens (link in the description) also from 1964, let me know what you think Norman 😊
Honey was great on drums plus very sexy for someone young like me xx❤
The nerd with the guitar is the best 😀
😊🫶
Jerry Lewis as The Nutty Professor?
❤great year for music here in England and the United States.😅😂🎉
Many "hearts" for Honey Lantree.
Agree, notice she kinda looks like Ringo...
Ah the fair ground song Always played at fairgrounds right into the 70s and I loved it
👏👏👏😊
❤❤❤😂😂😂
True words 😂😂❤
The first single my dad ever bought me...thankfully my mam bought me a Traffic LP
Still sounds great today
Yes, fabulous old song eh 😊👏👏
It a great song
totally forgot this masterpiece,thanks!
🙏😊
heard this song 1000 times back then when it was on the box. never knew who did it though. and the girl drummer - cool. the dude with the buddy holly glasses looks like ernie from 'my 3 sons' ! excellent video
Thank you 😊🙏
Fantastic. Honey Lantry was a groundbreaker. Also very beatutiful. . What a cutie and a great drummer.
This group was WAY ahead of its time. Have I the right? Asking permission 50 years before the #MeToo movement. Also, the wireless guitars are advanced technology.
Wireless guitar technology wasn't around then and in doing the video, they were miming to the studio recording so there was no need for guitar cords either.
@@sess122 yes, l could see they were not really playing. My attempt at satirical humor.
Great song.
My sentiments exactly!
Rip our Ann you are forever in our hearts ❤
Most beautiful smile too x❤❤
Magine surrounded by 4 men ! She was a legend , good looking woman , beat 4 men any time 😂❤❤
Gorgeous woman , good drummer and dress well ❤❤
Just excellent. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Honey was so cute.
😊👍 Thank you 🙏
I'm loving the Burns guitars. Eye catching and what a sound!
Burns guitars ..so British!
Absolutely yes 👏👏👏😊
@thesquaredisc ...but "British" pronounced with a British accent of course!
@that_thing_I_do 😊👍 🇬🇧
To heck with the guys it’s Honey that matters! A real knock out that could really play !
😊👏👏👏
Toward the end of the video, I was thinking, 'there's not enough Honey, show her again !"
Love the matching guitars!
