The Honeydrippers was a rock band of the 1980s. Former Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant formed the group in 1981 to satisfy his long-time goal in having a rock band with a heavy R&B basis. Formed originally in Worcestershire, the band went on to record an EP in the US. In addition to Plant, the band was composed of fellow former Led Zeppelin member guitarist Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck (a former Yardbirds member like Page) and other friends and well-known studio musicians.

  • The Honeydrippers was a rock band of the 1980s. Former Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant formed the group in 1981 to satisfy his long-time goal in having a rock band with a heavy R&B basis. Formed originally in Worcestershire, the band went on to record an EP in the US. In addition to Plant, the band was composed of fellow former Led Zeppelin member guitarist Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck (a former Yardbirds member like Page) and other friends and well-known studio musicians. They performed in a concert at Keele University in 1981. It released only one EP on 12 November 1984, titled The Honeydrippers: Volume One. The Honeydrippers peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with a remake of the Phil Phillips' tune "Sea of Love" and hit the top 30 with "Rockin' at Midnight," which was originally the B-side to "Sea of Love. " With the EP's success, Plant stated that a full album would be recorded, but it never was. The band appeared on Saturday Night Live on 15 December 1984, performing "Rockin' at Midnight" and "Santa Claus is Back in Town. " The band featured Brian Setzer on guitar and Paul Shaffer on piano. On 23 December 2006, Robert Plant performed a charity show at Kidderminster Town Hall under the title The Return of the Honeydrippers to raise money for his neighbor Jackie Jennings, who was undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. After Plant's appearance at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival to honor Ahmet Ertegün, the two discussed a new Honeydrippers album for 2007. After Ertegün's death, Plant has said that this is now unlikely.
  • The Honeydrippers war ein All-Star-Projekt in den 80er Jahren. Ähnlich wie bei den Traveling Wilburys, Little Village oder Notting Hillbillies kamen hier prominente Musiker zusammen, die gemeinsam ihren musikalischen Vorlieben frönten. Robert Plant war vorher bei Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page bei den Yardbirds und Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck bei den Yardbirds und als Solist erfolgreich und Nile Rodgers bei Chic. Sofern man von dieser Zusammensetzung die Richtung Heavy Metal erwartet hatte, wurde man überrascht: Blues, Rock'n'Roll und Doo Wop bildeten die Grundlage für Songs, die eher aus den 50er oder 60er Jahren hätten stammen können. Eine Singleauskopplung aus dem Album "Volume One", das jedoch nur 5 Titel enthielt, war Sea Of Love, ein Remake eines Songs von Phil Phillips aus dem Jahr 1959. Der Song erreichte 1984 Platz 3 der US-amerikanischen Charts. Die LP wurde mit Platin ausgezeichnet - es gab jedoch keine weiteren Scheiben dieser Gruppe.
  • The Honeydrippers oli englantilainen rockyhtye, jonka perusti entinen Led Zeppelinin laulaja Robert Plant vuonna 1981. Plantin lisäksi yhtyeeseen kuului myös entinen Led Zeppelinin kitaristi Jimmy Page, entinen The Yardbirdsin kitaristi Jeff Beck sekä heidän ystäviään ja muita tunnettuja muusikoita. Huolimatta nimekkäistä jäsenistä, yhtye julkaisi vain yhden albumin, The Honeydrippers: Volume One, vasta vuoden 1984 marraskuussa. Sen kappaleista suosituimmiksi nousivat "Sea of Love" ja "Rockin' At Midnight". Albumin jälkeen yhtye hajosi kaikessa hiljaisuudessa, eikä Plantin mukaan ole tekemässä paluuta.
  • The Honeydrippers - angielski zespół rockowy.

Wydali tylko jedno EP w 1984, zatytułowane The Honeydrippers: Volume One. The Honeydrippers mieli hit Top Ten, którym był cover utowru Phila Phillipsa "Sea of Love", oraz hit Top 30 "Rockin' At Midnight". W związku z sukcesem EP Plant zapowiedział wydanie pełnego albmu, jednak nigdy do tego nie doszło. Zespół wystąpił 15 grudnia 1984 w Saturday Night Live grając "Rockin' At Midnight" i "Santa Claus Is Back In Town". Zespołowi pomogli Brian Setzer na gitarze i Paul Shaffer na pianinie. 23 grudnia 2006 Robert Plant wystąpił na imprezie charytatywnej w ratuszu Kiedderminster jako "The Return of the Honeydrippers" aby zebrać pieniądze dla swojej chorej sąsiadki Jackie Jennings. Po występie Planta na Monreux Jazz Festival w 2006 na cześć Ahmeta Ertegüna, rozmawiali oni na temat wydania nowego albumu Honeydrippers. Po śmierci Ertegüna, Plant stwierdził że w tej chwili jest to mało prawdopodobne.
