The Honeys sang back-up for The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, and recorded their own music.
The Honeys were in the right place at the right time and were prepared for that opportunity. The group was composed of sisters Diane and Marylin Rovell. Marylin later married Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys who wrote many of their songs and produced them. Brian and Marylin are the parents of Carnie and Wendy Wilson of "Wilson Phillips" fame. They were joined by their cousin Ginger Blake. In 1962 they were named "The Honeys" by The Beach Boys after the reference in the song "Surfin' Safari" where The Beach Boys sang, "Early in the morning we'll be starting out, Some honeys will be coming along." Ginger and Marylin enjoyed talking with Tom about their fun-filled careers.

Loved the Honeys and Spring. Got to Meet and sit back-stage with Marylin in 1998 during the "Beach Boys Family" concert at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL, during which she went out on-stage and sang with the Band and her Daughters Wendy & Carnie. Had always wanted to meet her, because of her singing and all the videos and Interviews with her over the years, she just seemed "special". And when I met her? Marylin was all of that and more! Meeting you Marylin, and talking to you about our kids (our "Wendys") was one of the highlights of my life, thank you for being as sweet and wonderful as you are.😘
Would love love love a book by Marylin.
What a great surprise to find this today enjoyed this so much! Love the Honeys! The Spring albums are a treasure as well. Thank you !
I really enjoyed this. Some great music history here.
Oh wow, what a plethora of history, that has been shared with us... we are so very lucky to have been around in the era of the Beatles, and the Beach Boys.
I love these ladies! Love American Spring & The Honeys. "Snowflakes" is one of my favorite songs of any girl group. Thank you for your music!!
Love all their songs. They were like Brians Ronnettes.
I especially like "Thinkin' Bout You Baby" and "Shoot The Curl".
Very nice Tom
Great music. Nothing could stop us!
Interesting about "pray for surf." Jan and Dean used it in, as I recall, "Honolulu Lulu" ("...pray for surf while makin' out in my truck.") and had a decent hit with it.
Great video! These ladies are gems! Thank you for this, Tom! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
The Beach Boys = not to be forgotten.\..
This is priceless reminiscing with these so very down to earth ladies!! So interesting and candid.
