"A Taste of Honey" was a 1958 British play. Americans Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow wrote an instrumental theme for the 1960 Broadway version. The song won won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. Scott also co-wrote the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Lyrics were not added to "Taste of Honey" until 1961. Brenda makes fun of them a bit because they aren't really "beautiful.". There were some minor hits and even a cover by the Beatles. The catchy melody also found it's way into the acts of many club performers including Brenda Lee. The big hit for the song didn't come until 1965. It was an instrumental by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. A single from their "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" album. Herb Alpert arranged the song with a long into, but even an elite crew of studio musicians had trouble starting precisely on time. Finally, drummer Hal Blaine suggested that he just count it off and then they take his track out of the final mix. However, when the producer listened to the playback, he excitedly called Alpert over to hear it and they kept the Boom-Boom Boom-Boom in the arrangement. Blaine's count-off remains a signature for the song, even today. Winds may blow o'er the icy sea; I'll take with me the warmth of thee A taste of honey, a taste much sweeter than wine. [Bridge]: Oh Now I will return, I said I'll return, I'll come back for the honey and you. I'll leave behind my heart to wear, And may it e'er remind you of, a taste of honey, a taste much sweeter than wine. [Bridge] Oh now I will return, I said I'll return, I'll come back for the honey and you. I'll come back for the honey and you He ne'er came back to his eyes so fair, And so she died dreaming of his kiss- His kiss of honey, a taste much aweeter than wine. much aweeter than wine
