The 1960 Song "A Taste of Honey"

This post follows up my previous post about The 1961 Movie A Taste of Honey.

That 1961 movie was based on a stage play that was performed during 1958-1959 in London and in 1960 on Broadway in New York City. For the Broadway play, an instrumental song, also called A Taste of Honey was composed and performed. (The 1961 movie played other songs.)

The following two YouTube videos play the 1960 instrumental song as performed by the Vic Feldman Quartet ....

... and by Martin Denny ....

The Beatles, before 1963, sometimes sang the song in clubs but never released their performance in a record.

In 1963, another version of the song was introduced by Acker Bilk, and it became popular in the United Kingdom, where it reached #16 in the UK Singles Chart.

Most people now know the song from the 1965 version performed by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
