Have I The Right - Honeycombs

Have I The Right - Honeycombs.

The Honeycombs were an English beat/pop group, founded in 1963 in North London. The group had one chart-topping hit, the million selling "Have I the Right?", in 1964. After that song the interest in the group ebbed away, and they split up in late 1966. The group's most distinguishing mark was their female drummer, Honey Lantree. In the UK, "Have I The Right" reached #1 in 1964, and #5 in the US.

Robert George "Joe" Meek (5 April 1929 Newent, Gloucestershire--3 February 1967 in London) was a pioneering English record producer and songwriter. His work and popular success in the music field is more remarkable since it is known he was tone deaf.

Meek's third UK #1 and last major success was with The Honeycombs' Have I The Right? in 1964, which also became a number 4 hit on the American Billboard pop charts. The success of Leyton's recordings was instrumental in establishing Stigwood and Meek as two of Britain's first independent record producers.

This is a real cool song from the 60's. I've always like this kind of music. Very upbeat.
