Honey Lantree, who has died aged 75, achieved the unique feat of being the first woman drummer in a pop group to top the British charts as a member of the group the Honeycombs, whose single Have I the Right, a classic of the beat group era, produced by Joe Meek, reached Number One in 1964.
While there were any number of young female singers flourishing in the early 1960s, among them Dusty Springfield and Lulu, beat groups of the day were a strictly a male preserve, and the novelty of the attractive, smiling figure of Honey Lantree, in fashionable beehive hairdo, seated behind a drum kit, was a potent tool for promoting the group in television appearances and newspaper and magazine articles.

Nov 19th 2011 !⃝ I like this song. Whenever I hear it, I think of Seto Kaiba from the anime Yu-Gi-Oh because it fits him perfectly. In other words, he never backs down from anything, specifically a duel. Well, I know what’s right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I’ll stand my ground and I won’t back down
