Listen to Have I The Right? by The Honeycombs #MusicMonday πŸŽΆ

This week’s choice is the infectious hit Have I The Right? by The Honeycombs (1964).

Watch The Honeycombs perform Have I The Right?

The group’s lead vocalist was Dennis D’Ell. Anne (β€˜Honey’) Lantree in the girly pink pussy bow blouse πŸ‘š was the drummer. I read that watching Honey Lantree on TV inspired Karen Carpenter to pick up the drums.

The Beatles’ US debut on The Ed Sullivan Show

On February 9, 1964, The Beatles made their U.S. debut on the Ed Sullivan TV show – and popular music hasn’t been the same since!

My parents, brother, and I were attending a dance performance – was it the Tamburitzans from Duquesne University? πŸ€” Who knows? 🀷 All I was thinking about was getting home in time to see The Beatles. I overheard someone else mention The Beatles as we left the hall. I remember the buzz and excitement in anticipation of the event.

Even today, hearing the opening chords of I Wanna Hold Your Hand fills me with happiness. πŸ₯°
