Herb Alpert - A Taste of Honey - 1965
" A Taste of Honey " is a pop standard written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow . It was originally an instrumental track (or recurring theme) written for the 1960 Broadway version of the 1958 British play A Taste of Honey which was also made into the film of the same name in 1961. The original and a later recording by Herb Alpert in 1965 earned the song four Grammy Awards .
A vocal version of the song proved successful for Lenny Welch in mid-1962.
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass recorded the most popular instrumental version of the song with a cover on their 1965 album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights . This recording won four awards including Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 1966 . The instrumental spent five weeks at number one on the easy listening chart, reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 4 in Canada . This version is noted for the eight drum beats before the tempo increased, intended as an editing cue to be removed in the final version but Alpert decided to keep it in. - more at Wikipedia
