Eargasm #4 ~ Honey Cone - Innocent Til Proven Guilty

Innocent Til Proven Guilty - (The) Honey Cone 1972 was sampled by Common on Testify but it deserves to be heard on it's own. Listen to the passion in her voice and her story as she tells it.

Carolyn Willis (formerly of Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans) along with Edna Wright (Darlene Love's sister) and (former Ikette) Shellie Clark

The first time I heard the Common track, I screamed "HONEY CONE" & scared my wife :)

love this song

[colton422]

DAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN. feel it baby!! so good and so smooth. timeless = HOLLAND DOZIER HOLLAND. plus Edna Wright is in a class of her own.

for real, even though I think the show on Fox can be foolish and ridiculous, I think some AMERICAN IDOL hopeful with amazing chops should give this a shot....spread the FUNK and SOUL gospel to the world. I would vote for them.

Honey Cone was such a fantastic and underrated group. "Want Ads" is a guilty pleasure.

[daryl2280]
