You’re right, Michael, The Honeycombs<\/strong> formed in 1963 in North London, Michael. Honey Lantree<\/strong>, a rare female drummer in the early days of pop, inspired the band\u2019s name. They couldn’t match the success of \u201cHave I the Right,\u201d and disbanded in 1967.<\/p>\n

The Four Seasons earned their first Hot 100 chart topper with “Sherry.” today in 1962.<\/strong>
\nBob Gaudio wrote it and originally envisioned the tune as \u201cJackie Baby” (in honor of then-First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy).
