  • "A Taste of Honey" is a pop standard written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow in 1960. It was first performed by Scott, and its title may have been inspired by the 1958 British play A Taste of Honey, which reached Broadway in 1960. The most famous version of this song was the instrumental cover by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass on their album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights. This version of the song became a #7 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965; it also spent five weeks at #1 on the adult contemporary chart. In addition, the song won Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 1966. While this is the best remembered version, two others had competed in the charts in 1962: both Martin Denny and The Victor Feldman Quartet had minor hits with their takes on the song. The only vocal version to chart was the 1964 minor hit for Tony Bennett. The newest version recorded as a single release was by Howard Bailey. Sticking close to the Herb Alpert version, Bailey played all the main brass melodies on the guitar. (en)
  • A Taste of Honey è uno standard della musica pop scritto da Bobby Scott e Ric Marlow Fu inizialmente eseguito da Scott ed il suo titolo prese spunto dall'omonima commedia portata in scena a Broadway nel 1960 Fu ripresa da Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass nel loro album Whipped Cream & Other Delights diventando una hit nel 1965 ed aggiudicandosi il Grammy Award come disco dell'anno. Altre versioni ebbero un buon succeso e fra queste va citata quella cantata da Tony Bennett. Nel 1962 i Beatles inclusero A Taste of Honey nel proprio repertorio e la pubblicarono sul loro album Please Please Me dell'anno successivo. John Lennon, con un gioco di parole, definì il brano A Waste of Money (Uno spreco di danaro). Nel 1967 i Giganti ne incisero una versione italiana col titolo In paese è festa. La versione di Herb Alpert viene attualmente utilizzata come sigla del programma radiofonico "Tutto il calcio minuto per minuto". (it)
