A Taste Of Honey - Sayonara 1982

[MrSteeljazz]

Long time no hear. This takes me all the way back to secondary school circa 1983. Great post. Thanks for sharing.

[soflwill70]

Now, this is a funky groove!

[Cooksto]

Sayonara est un mot japonais pour dire au revoir.

[downjones72]

The outro sounds sick, those synths DAMN!

[Kazaam34]

This is huge! This has to be played on any dancefloor.

[grega1972]

I would Totally taste Hazel Paynes Honey ! 

[philippe532]

1 GROS, GROS, LIKE YOU VERY GOOD

[ricisrock]

This song reminds me of my gf whenever she would come to Philly and I'd see her, she would be gone leaving me miserable. But now, over 20 years later I got her and I'm gonna marry her! (insert evil laugh here)

[babah77088]

YEAH BABY ITS STICKY AGAIN

[unionfunk]

さよなら

[JFKenji]

Has one of them japanese ancestry?

[hassan1814]

@JFKenji you know i myself always have wondered if one of them in particular the lighter one had some kind of asian connection

[JFKenji]

@hassan1814 Whatever this song particularly shows how much are japan and black culture are close to each other

[Serpico261]

@JFKenji haha yeah its so simple

[downjones72]

The outro & the synths are off the hook. Such emotion

[brown547]

Very good synth work!! A very tight track!!

[not2shy2say]

this was among one of my favorite Lp next to their debut.

[ELGORITHM]

Quality

[stanlivers]

the best!!!!!! very very good

[kenneyut]

@stanlivers

I agree...I purchased every album they made....only thing, I think Hazel was very under rated...it seems as though all of Janices lead songs made it big....they are equal in talent and beauty as far as I am concerned

[francgmaj]

wow it feels good to hear this old spinner again. cherry....where are you now x

[KuttyJoe]

I didn't realize they did 2 songs with Japanese names/themes. The other one being Sukiyaki which was a classic Japanese song by a famous singer. And this one called "Sayonara". I never heard it before. Sukiyaki was incredible with the whole perfection of Japanese instrumentation. This one is just another song, not particularly anything special.

[th1nkp1nk91]

Love this song! I would have never heard of it if my dad hadn't given me his cd.

Does anyone else think this song is a lil underrated? 0_o

[BroncoAlfisti]

good old days

[powerlifted]

Where are they today? And where are the Class Acts like this Anymore? The old days R the good days!!!! (facto) Id sure like to be a Hunny sandwich!!!! :) Halla back hommies!!!!! Sup all you Hunny lovers!!!! xoxoxoxo

[loopyman76]

WOW! This brings back memories! I remember my mom having this album and I used to wear it OUT! I had to be all of 6 years old!

[connie7ify1]

@loopyman76 Yup I was bout 12 i was born 1970 so 70's nd 80's music was jst off da charts for me... nd since my whole entire family from even dinstant cuzins r into music so growin up listening to all types of music but a taste of honey is jst one of my favorites to say the least

[port2344chester]

TOP NOTCH MATERIAL. Should have gotten more air play!!!!

Sleeper classic... thanks for the share!!

[dadevi]

Why didn't anyone tell me A Taste Of Honey did excellent electro-funk like this? OMG, this is great!

[danielpirulo1]

[jelboysvw]

Quality post!!

[1980Triumph]

This song is very similar to Baby Be Mine by Michael Jackson, the structure and the music, both 1982

[1980Triumph]

80 - 82 BREED SOME FUNKY MUSIC,

[downjones72]

the chorus is off the hook, especially towards the end - love the keys that come in... clean, top notch production.

[arpquadra]

Agreed,its a lesson in production.Very tight synth work.Sadly the music of today is lacking lets go back to the older ways of real musicians playing.

[stevedream717]

Can you please post" good bye baby "by Taste of Honey ?

[1bisou]

[sistagirl488]

[Dodogforce1]

Oh my God ! Great music ...... Bring back the music please ....

[sawsendu38]

aie aie aie ...................

[beatchemist2004]

very 1982 . I think this was their last album as a group

[mojay11]

Yes, I believe this was their last album by A Taste Of Honey. After that, the bass player for the group Janice Marie Johnson came out with a few solos, sadly they didn't do all the that well.

[Stylitto]

stunning!! I am 25 years old, and i love this music. Good music was made in the past!

[mcnino1]

Proper music.

[ricisrock]

this song reminds me of my girlfriend. she lived in nj me in philly. i only saw her 2 times in 20 years before we hooked up. everytime she came to philly and we'd see each other, she'd be gone again--sayonara

[Amezarak1]

How do I find an mp3 of this track? Limewire never has the tracks that I look for.

[REXER1977]

[ArchieGe]

might take a while though since my Albums are in storage

[TheDezmann]

Al McKay

[ArchieGe]

@ArchieGe Al McKay (from Earth WInd & Fire )

[hevyonez97]

[garnergens]

[maestrolx]

Love this song!

[InDis2Die]

Loooove thiis oneee!!

[sebhartke]

[mojay11]

This was a funky jam from A Taste Of Honey back in the early 80's, very underrated and should've been released as a single. A few stations played the song but was never released a single.

[Rainy5062002]

I remember this song. My aunt used to play it when I was younger. I think I was around 9 or 10

[fl1gueur]
