I think of this song every time my wife wears a skirt with a honeycomb pattern on it. I sing what I know of it. So today I called it up on KZread and played it for her while she finished getting ready. She is the love of my life. She is beautiful and everything this song embodies.

Saddened to hear Jimmie Rodgers has died. A charming guy with a great natural voice. The first record I ever owned as a kid was one of his!

I used to love Jimmie Rodgers. I loved his voice, songs, and looks. I wondered what happened to him. Come to find out he had a sad heartbreaking life. But his music was great and bring back such wonderful memories.

There’s something about Jimmie Rodgers here reminds me of young Elvis.

This song meant so much to me as an 11 year old! Life was tough back then (three schools in one year... and so much more) so I felt moments of real joy while listening to this happy, snappy song. Thanks, Jimmie Rodgers.

Hello, Mike. I also was 11 and things were not what they should be at home. I adored this song, and music....and it made life look good in the future. I wish Rodgers could know that.

When music made me smile and feel good.

This is simply one of the best songs ever done. I remember this song. Great dancing music unlike of what is played today.

Loved this song and all his songs. Forever fan. Good man for sure. Had some tough things happen to him but thankfully he persevered.

I remember this song from my childhood, I'm 49 now with 4 girls and my youngest daughter who is 18 now, has loved this song since she was 4 or 5

On this day in 1957 {September 10th) Jimmie Rodgers performed "Honeycomb" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... At the time "Honeycomb" was at #5 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, two weeks later it would peak at #1 {for 2 weeks} and it spent over a half-year on the Top 100 {28 weeks}... It peaked at #1 {for 4 weeks} on Billboard's Most Played by Jockeys chart... And on September 23rd it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... Between 1957 and 1967 he had twenty-five records on the Top 100 chart, five* made the Top 10 with one reaching #1 {"Honeycomb"}... Besides"Honeycomb", his four other Top 10 records were "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" {#3 in 1957}, "Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again" {#7 in 1958}, "Secretly" {#3 in 1958}, and "Are You Really Mine" {#10 in 1958}... James Frederick Rodgers will celebrate his 84th birthday in eight days on September 18th {2017}... * He just missed having a sixth Top 10 record when "Bimbombey" peaked at #11 {for 1 week} on December 15th, 1958...

He lived to a ripe old age, despite those awful head injuries he got in 1967. The legend of rock & roll is made not only from all the young dead stars, but also from those artists who still stay with us into the eighth decade of rock music. Thank you for the show, Jimmie. And Jerry Lee Lewis, Lloyd Price, Don Everly, Duane Eddy, Dion DiMucci, Wanda Jackson, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Leon Hughes and a number of others - may you survive the Tough Twenties as you've survived all decades before!

I guess my loving this song is a bit late, as it was the #1 album the week I was born. And here I was a fan 20-30 years later without realizing he lived right out here in Woodland Hills for a n umber of years. He has since moved back to Missouri-I think Branson...pretty cool...a place where he can suddenly sneak out and make appearance for the rest of his life. God Bless you Jimmie...you are/were a fine entertainer. I still love and just returned to listening to said album esp. including "The Preacher"...and better still, "Scarlett Ribbons", whose writer later became my own teacher for a while-another terrific talent, Jack Segal. Alas, those were the times ;-)

Oooo did I ever throw a lot of nickles in a lot of jukeboxes for this song Thank you ever so much :)

Love the songs from my preteen years, they bring me so many good memories..!! :)) Thank you so much...

The kids in the audience would all be in their 70s and 80s, and Dick Clark and Jimmie Rodgers are gone. Quite a piece of history here.

Love love love... we owe lots to Jimmie, his songs are amazing!

Great to jive to happy memories

My friend Orin & I loved this song back at ole' Central High in the late 50's! A wonderful time in our lives!!

Was in the 2nd grade when this became so popular. My kind of music I grew up with...50's 60's and 70's are the best years of my life! Also love his song "soldier, soldier, will you Mary me" that came out in the same year, 1957.

This music is the music of my youth. The audience is a reflection of the times. Everything was so much simpler then... I miss those days. Jimmie Rodgers had a wonderful voice and I loved his music. 🎼🖤

One of the first records my family bought was Kisses Sweeter than Wine and we played it so much that I still remember the words to this day. What a voice.

Jimmie F. Rodgers passed away on January 18th, 2021 in Palm Desert, California at the age of 87... Between 1957 and 1967 the Camas, Washington native had twenty-five records on Billboard's Top 100 chart, four made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Honeycomb", for two weeks in September of 1957... Besides "Honeycomb", his other three Top 10 records were "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" at #7 in December of 1957, "Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again" at #7 in February of 1958, and "Secretly" at #3 in June of 1958... He just missed having a fifth Top 10 record when his "Bimbombey" peaked at #11 in December of 1958... May he R.I.P.

We saw him perform on New Year's Eve at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska in 1963 or 1964. It was a great show.

I heard this song Honeycomb by the late Jimmie Rodgers for many years. God bless Jimmie.

My brother would listen to this song as he got ready for s hool now I find myself listening to it 62yrs later sounds as good as it did way back then

What's amazing today is that none of the kids and especially the girls don't try to touch (or grab) any of the artists who did the sing down the aisle type entrance DC used on several shows. Imagine if some of the top artists today tried to do that at some the concerts I've been to in the last decade. Yipe!

Used to play this on the jukebox up at Island Lake back when music was music.

Great song

Big fan.

Fantastic love this song from jimmie

When life was simple, music was hip, kids were respectful and wholesome. I was born in 1953 so I've been through all kinds of music and i have to say that music in those days was easy to understand and made sense. Don't get me wrong there has always been good music but i guess it's just that those years seemed so innocent. Please, someone build a time machine I guess for now this will have to do

always liked this song.

Good song and artist

Just look how happy everyone was back then not like today

A real rockabilly feel to it.

RIP Jimmie Rodgers!

Great performance...I have the recording...

My God how innocent we all were.

RIP to another great country legend.....

Rest in music paradise Mr. Rodgers 😢📿

love this guy!!!

My condolences to his friends and family it was a great until a singer and Community person may he rest in peace

Sobering to think most of those in the clip are no longer with us!

Who wants to go back to the late 50s were people were better, cities were cleaner, where jobs were plentiful and families can buy a house instead of being forced to rent small studio apartments. And most of all no homeless encampments living in front of your home.

I wasn’t sure at first, but that was definitely Dick Clark. Fascinating to see him so young, and he had such a long, storied career. Does anyone under 30 even remember him, though?

all the kids were given beechnut gum , every show

Please put this man in the ROF.

He had some weird stuff happened 1967. Supposedly some cops attack him. beat him up pretty bad. But then according to Tommy James who was also on roulette records he seems to think Maurice Levy who was the owner had him whacked for some reason crazy

RIP

Today (October 15) is my dear, sweet Mom's birthday, so I dedicate one of her favorite 50s songs to her today. It's a nice scene here, but it begs the question just where is the mic that is supposed to pick up Jimmy's voice? (There's no mic on his lapel, in his hand, or a boom mic hanging around his head as he made his way to the stage.) Oh well, it's fun to watch and hear this special moment with Dick Clark and the kids, anyway.

Can we see the Crystals on Bandstand?

Anyone know a GOOD recording of his music? I had his greatest hits on vinyl but all my vinyl is gone! I'd like to replace it.

Just about every girl was chewing gum.
