Soul

Honey Cone was an American R&B and soul girl group formed by lead singer Edna Wright (sister of Darlene Love) with Carolyn Willis and Shelly Clark in 1968. They are best remembered for their number-one Billboard Hot 100 single, "Want Ads". Honey Cone were the premier female group for Hot Wax Records, operated by Holland-Dozier-Holland after they had departed from Motown Records. Martha & the Vandellas and The Marvelettes - two of the female vocal groups who represented Motown Records' sound in the 1960s - were among Honey Cone's main influences as the group favored a blend of sweetness and grit in their own sound.

Honey Cone's debut was the first proper album release for the recently installed Hot Wax, the same way their brilliant but marginally successful "While You're out Looking for Sugar" had been the imprint's first single. Whether or not Holland-Dozier-Holland had actually written the material themselves, legal issues with Berry Gordy didn't stop them from playing a major part in shaping the band's feisty, energetic and assured image. With Diana Ross about to embark on a solo career, the genuine Honey Cone creatively surpassed the rise of the Supremes Mach II beforehand. True, the similar sound of a consecutive single byMotown ("Girls It Ain't Easy") and this albums' title track might have fueled the suspicion of filling a temporary void. The inclusion of hippie anthem "Aquarius" hints at a different intention, considering the presence of some outstanding album tracks. Allowing for socially conscious topics to enter the lyrics, Honey Cone furiously attack the hypocrisy of churchgoers in "Sunday Morning People." Elsewhere, the priceless "Are You Man Enough, Are You Strong Enough?" addresses the dilemma of raising another man's child far more effectively than the Four Tops' "Barbara's Boy." Musically, these songs are closely related to the psychedelic soul Norman Whitfield used to wrap social issues with for the Temptations. Either for commercial or artistic reasons, nearly half of Take Me with You would be repeated for Honey Cone's follow-up album Sweet Replies. The socially engaged songs would feel more at home in the company of the forthright, vaguely feminist "Want Ads." Unfortunately, time would rapidly run out for Hot Wax and recognition only came indirectly through the 1990s emergence of En Vogue and Destiny's Child. As these independent women became widely known as "sisters doing it for themselves," flag-bearers Honey Cone were left to resign in the "where are they now" files.
