#TheHondells

#OneHitHistory “Little Honda” by Gary Usher’s studio creation, The Hondells, peaked at #9 on the US #Billboard #Top40 the week ending October 31, 1964. The Beach Boys cover spent 9 weeks on the chart and earned them their US #OneHitWonder honors. #TheHondells #OneHitWondered

#QuickSidenote As “Little Honda” by The Hondells was climbing the #Top40 chart, the Beach Boys’ own version was quickly released as a single… It managed to peak at #65 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. #BeachBoys #TheHondells #LittleHonda #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly With a hit record to promote, Gary Usher needed a real touring band. He turned to bassist Ritchie Burns, who recruited the live lineup. Wayne Edwards also toured. Other names… Randy Thomas, Mike Hufford... A ‘band’ built to keep the hit on the road. #TheHondells #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Former Castells singer Chuck Girard was the voice behind what would become “Little Honda” by The Hondells. In 1970, Chuck Girard became a founding member of Love Song, one of the first Jesus Music/CCM groups in the US. #ChuckGirard #TheHondells #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly The session was full of Wrecking Crew regulars: guitars from Glen Campbell, Tommy Tedesco, & Richie Podolor, Al DeLory on keyboards. Drums weren’t Hal Blaine… that was Wayne Edwards. Ritchie Burns on bass guitar. #WreckingCrew #TheHondells #OneHitWondered

#OneHitHistory The week ending October 3, 1964, producer Gary Usher’s studio creation, The Hondells, earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their cover of the Beach Boys’ “Little Honda” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #29. It spent 9 weeks on the chart, peaking at #9. #TheHondells #OneHitWondered
