THE HONDELLS
The Hondells were an American surf rock band. They are perhaps best known for their Top 10 single from 1964, a cover of the Beach Boys’ “Little Honda”. The Hondells were a band manufactured by Gary Usher, originally consisting of session musicians. (More from Wikipedia)
There is also a rare surf song on Pebbles, Volume 4 LP having a female lead, called “Thinkin’ ’Bout You Baby” by Sharon Marie. Another (from Born Bad, Vol. 6) is “Yum Yum Yamaha” by Carol Connors and the Cycles; Carol Connors co-wrote the hit song by past UARB the Rip Chords, “Hey Little Cobra”. “Little Honda” by the Hondells (written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love of the Beach Boys) honored a different brand of Japanese motorcycle and was a Top Ten hit in 1964.
