- A Taste of Honey live on Solid Gold during the 80-81 Season. Unfortunately, no SOLID GOLD DANCERS, but one of my favorite performances of one of the world's most recorded songs.
I was a CSAR Helicopter with the USN homebased at NAS Atsugi fm '67-'69. I was in love with a girl fm Fukuoka. I returned fm VN in 10/69 & shipped home. I never saw her again. This song is about my lost love!!
Aw this touched my heart
Lovely just lovely
How is Life going for you now
Thank you for your service brother. Doesn't go away does it... I was sixteen when this song debut in '81 and I met a girl in the roller skating rink that swept me away... didn't last long 'cause she fell for my friend... LOVE 🦨 STINKS.🇺🇸🫡✌️
When I visited Alaska, an anthropologist gave a talk and explained that according to blood type, hair color and other similarities, the native peoples of the Americas are more closely related to people of Asia than to any other color or race. He chose a man from the audience, a tourist from South Korea about 60 years old. He brought him on stage and asked his uncle, an Athabaskan native to come on stage. The two men looked like brothers!!!!
A beautiful song, beautiful lady. Love it!!!
What a talented group they were. They sang, wrote and played instruments. On top of that they were classy and beautiful. A winning combo! You'd be hard pressed to find that today.

the song is hauntingly beautiful and they look so elegant performing it..
I always had a connection to this song and remember seeing this performance. Thru research I discovered that it was the number 1 song on the charts June 1963 when I was born.
❤ I love this song, but every time you listen to it rips your heart apart!😢😢😢
Perfection, in this beautiful English version .
AMAZING! Janice is heavenly beautiful, and so is hazel . 100% talent!!!!

I miss those beautiful times when music was so passionate.

Also when the performers had talent, were beautiful (these gals) and presented themselves with grace and elegance...
This has been one of my favorite songs ever. I rode my bike and hummed the song in the early 60s, I couldn't understand the Japanese lyrics but the song still moved me. I was so happy A Taste of Honey added lyrics I could understand. Hauntingly beautiful song.
Love this song!!! Always brings tears to my eyes, when I think of who I've lost in the game of love.
Oh stop, hun. I'm 59 and lately been thinking of all THE GOOD ONES I let go. One passed away (rx OD). Found another darling on Facebook, missed her by a few months... and she haunts me literally.
Once when I found her (too late) and then again 3 yrs later wrote an article she is in and both times a clock ran for 3 hrs & 20 mins, then stopped. (Do Ghosts Follow Us? by Dan W. Miller)
Luckily, I connected again recently with another and even though she's married, we're having fun remembering.
These 3... ah... my favorites. My ex-wife of 10 yrs doesn't even make the Top 10. BWAHAHAHAHA!
One of the most Beautiful songs ever Written ... ~Thank you song Writer 'Nakamura !'
Thank you Janice for our American Version....what a Beautiful Song !
One in a billion....
Very, very, underrated song...
I can't just play it once...
Love the video 😍.....
I remember being 13 and watching this on tele in NZ 1981. Such memories of youth, promise and innocence. I thought this was the prettiest song Id ever heard and I stil do.
I remember watching this as a kid. Love this

When I close my eyes as I listen to this, I envision butterflies dancing and fluttering their wings to the music! ENCHANTING!
Beautiful and soulful performance, as a little boy in Thailand I heard the Kyu Sakamoto japanese version. Then again as a teenager in Detroit by A Taste of Honey. Both great. Nirandorn Neville
I know how you feel I have been through the same

back when music was worth listening to,and tv was worth watching!!!!!!!!

+M. Jones when you get done talking, todays music is nothing but shit!! there are no good songs!!.i feel( sorry )for people like you,that like that shit!! i'm also a musician,(obviously)you are not!! and as a musician i hear music much differently than you do!! all you can do is listen to it,because you can't play it!! and if you like this crap that's playing on the radio today then you don't know what real music is!! ,and you have(poor)taste.oh....and when you learn to play.........then you can(elaborate),unitil.... then keep listen to that crap!!!!!!
I stalked solid gold waiting to to see these beautiful woman perform Sukiyaki! I was 16 years old.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL SEARING RENDITION P.S. ( WHILE PLAYING THIS< THE SWEET SOUNDS PROVIDED A BACK GROUND TO FURTHER MY INSPIRATION TO WRITE ANOTHER MOST DIFFICULT SONG AS A TESTAMENT TO MY JUST PASSED OLDER< ONLY BROTHER< BARRY< A ONE TIME MENTOR< ALWAYS AVAILABLE ADVISOR/SUPPORTER< & ONE TIME FELLOW JUNIOR HIGH ORCHESTRA MEMBER(VIOLA FOR HIM< VIOLIN FOR ME)>R.I.P.
A masterpiece that is so simple and yet so beautiful!
Taste of Honey was ahead of their time-Two lead Black female guitarists They brought a classic to the R&B colunm...I love it.
brings memories of my husband. Such a beautiful version. Taste of Honey - so talented.
What a performance...I have been looking for this for years.. At last.

I remember watching this broadcast on television (I always watched Solid Gold's year-end countdown). Had me thinking Janice-Marie was part Asian and Hazel Payne was the greatest multi-instrumentalist of all time. Then on June 1, 2020(!) I learn Hazel didn't even appear on the original recording. WTF, man...
One of the greatest jams ever. SO GLAD J-M stuck to her guns; neither her producer (George Duke) nor her label head wanted to make/release this song, and among the concessions she made to include it on the album was to waive songwriting credit (these lyrics are hers). Awesome, awesome song.

Timeless classic. I remember seeing this on tv here in NZ back in 81 when I was a teenager. Memories from the last innocent era in music before the depressing grunge of Nirvana and the gangster rap of the 90s.
she is so beautiful
Yeah Janice was and is a gorgeous woman...and a talented one. It's a little odd not seeing her with her bass guitar here.

琴の音色が美しい。👘👘🎶異国情緒たっぷりですね。⛩️🏯🗻
Loved this song when it came out and still love it today. Also love these gorgeous women paying beautiful homage to Japanese music.
This is such a beautiful song…every time I hear it, it reminds me of the one person I loved and lost.
I love the koto. It’s is such a beautiful instrument
I was 8yr when first listen to it on the radio...& still love it.April 20 2020
Wow, loved this song as a kid. Still do, Taste of Honey musicians, singers, Janice Johnson, and Hazel Payne so inspirational. Thanks for posting this, classic.
Ten years ago, I hung out at a karaoke bar and one us regulars was this girl of Japanese-American descent. One night she was called to sing and she came out in a kimono and sang it in Japanese while doing a traditional dance. Everyone in the bar stopped talking and watched and then gave her a standing ovation when she was through and for the rest of the night she didn't pay for one drink. Sad thing was, I was the next singer and nobody gave a damn, LOL.
this was my mothers fav song ever. she still was in love with my dad and vice versa although they oved on with thier own lives. well my mom passed away 2008 and made us promise to play thi at her funeral for my dad but we couldent find it n i just did. so yes im crying my eyes out. so glad i found this!
I was sixteen when this song debut in '81. My cousin introduced me to her neighbor and we hit it off instantly however TWO weeks later I took her to my neighborhood and she fell for my next door neighbor..🎵🎶.LOVE 🦨 STINKS 🎵🎶🎵J. Giles Band 1982 RIP Peter Wolf.
I was 18 just left home out on my own this song brings back memories for sure. So many love ones are gone now I wish I could go back in time and spend time with them. Sad

every-time-i-watch-or-hear-this-version-my-eyes-water-and-my-heart-breaks. can't take-no-more...nothing can be more beautiful. today is annual Sakura Matsuri Parade Day in DC. so pretty, so divine...memories. hurts so good...sayonara...
Domo Ariegato for posting this video. It is so beautiful and I applaud Taste Of Honey for going the extra step to "wearing a Kimono, her gentle fan expressions and the other singer learning how to play that complexed instrument. It was just so beautiful. This is surely a lesson of "East Meets West".
Awesome her voice .👏👏👏
ありがとうございます AND SAYONARA, (1:24-1:27) My Thanks, again ;-)
Just outstanding. The best version ever. THANK YOU
Have always loved this song and everytime I hear it, I think it sounds like a dream
coming to life.
Just adore her voice. She is a taste of honey. Sweet, elegant and lovely.
I cry everytime I watch...amazing
It's all because of you, I'm feelin' sad and blue
You went away, now my life is just a rainy day
I love you so, how much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely
Untouchable memories seem to keep haunting me
Of love so true, that once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared, now my eyes are filled with tears
I'm wishin' you were here with me
Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you're gone, oh, I don't know what to do
If only you were here, you'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine, and once again you'd be mine, all mine
But in reality, you and I will never be
'Cause you took your love away from me, oh
If only you were here, you'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine, and once again you'd be mine, all mine
But in reality, you and I will never be
'Cause you took your love away from me
Oh, baby, you took your love away from me
Whispered:
Sayonara
Man, I miss these days!

Another classic I remember it and I can still sing it too it's great!
Janice and Hazel were seriously great musicians. Too bad they never got their due.
Man! She had that audience in the palm of her hand! This was when you had true talented performers who could perform with their clothes on and didn't rely on how much T&A they were showing...Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!
I can watch this over and over -- it puts me in such a lovely space
Maggi Leigh yyyyyyyes
th-cam.com/video/Ky_rFt5tKfQ/w-d-xo.html
Man, I love this song!! I was listening to "Entertainment" by Phoenix
(another awesome song) and had to play Sukiyaki....Just had too!!
I so remember watching this when it was first broadcast on a late Saturday afternoon which was when Solid Gold was aired in New York.
They hit #3 pop in Billboard, 6-13-81. God bless you, Charmed, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! RIP, Kyu Sakamoto ( original singer of the Japanese version).
Where are the beautiful songs like this that made us feel love, tenderness and joy? This is real talent and class
The real deal Ladies and Gentlemen! One of my favourites from way back which made me listen to traditional Koto players too. Is it possible to give infinity plus one stars? If so...

If you haven't had a woman give you this look ---> 1:24 then you haven't lived.
Ya 😍
This song is absolutely beautiful and the words in the song has lots of meaning. A taste of honey did a magnificant job in singing this song.
entered Billboard March 7, 1981 ..reached #3 originally a #1 hit for
Kyu Sakamoto in April, 1963, the first and only Japanese artist to reach
#1 in Billboard

I have the 45 vinyl of both, I love the song.
i like how she sing the song, she sounds sincere
I remember this song from when I was 12. I always loved her voice, so pure. I think that was why I really enjoyed Klymaxx when they came along several years later.
of all the selections youtube this is best performance of sukiyaki by tast of honey; best tempo and expression.
a thousand thumbs up. way up
th-cam.com/video/Ky_rFt5tKfQ/w-d-xo.html
I see you John Novello in the background playing keys! Love it!
Oh, what can I say..this is so beautiful! Sakamoto was good but this is so much better! Even to think they also recorded my all time favorite dance song: Boogie Oogie Oogie! What a performance!!
The wonderful song does make my spirit up always. God bless Japan.
tracy brown. that touched my soul. wow! dont even know how i got here but i'm glad i did. beautiful. ty tracy brown
SALUDOSNDESDE SANTIAGONDE CHILE
AMO ESTA CANCION
MUCHAS BENDICIONES PARA UDES 🙏🖐🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love hearing this song brings back fond memories
@mistermisterxx Yes June Kuramoto was the talent playing the kyoto on the album. Hazel is playing the "air kyoto" in this video, but if you scroll down a member of AToH band clarified that Hazel did study with June and, by this performance could actually play the song perfectly.
th-cam.com/video/Ky_rFt5tKfQ/w-d-xo.html
Janice is amazing and Hazel does so well with that instrument''''
I love this version of this beautiful song. No one other thean the original singer songwriter, could sing this song or gdo it with any justice!But Taste Of Honey have done so so perfectly!!!!!!!!! Such beautiful Voice and music!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a priceless song!!!!!!
This song stands the test of time.
IT` GREAT.
They were so beautiful and haunting just like the song. I have always loved this song. I remember hearing that when they won their Grammy for Best New Artist for Boogie Oogie Oogie, while they were performing someon stole their jewelry from the dressing room. This song still sounds good today. Thanks for the post and the memories.
What class, what beauty. This is heaven. How do you find words to describe the stink bomb that was dropped on black music!
Beautiful Song thanks for making available to all of us
I loved this song SO MUCH when I was about 15 - wore out that little 45 record, I just couldn't possibly listen to it/sing along enough times!! I wasn't allowed to watch Solid Gold, so to see this clip now is just "over the top" for me!! :)
Wow both these ladies are expert musicians- great performance
Thank you You Tube for keeping the 19 century -:; 1900ad-1999ad - alive
How lovely, reading that made me cry. She was a lucky woman to be loved like that.
GREAT performance, lipsyncing and all. I like the Japanese touch, down to the eye movements. "Joozu desu ne?"
I don't know what kind of fool would leave that beauty!
THANKS for posting.
beautiful
ah music and shows like this help shape me as a singer and musician...proud to be a product of old school
Man that was an amazing post!!! I can't give it enough thumbs up...I took down my guitar to try to play along with harpist but she just blew me away and gave it up and said "You Go Girl"
I enjoyed it as a child in the 60's and was glad to put it on my free channel
OMGGGG I am shooketh! This whole performance, vocals and koto harp!!!!! OMG (leveled up from the lyrics tho)
You're right, it's hauntingly beautiful. I have loved this song since the 8th grade for that same reason.
Glad you liked it!
She kicks ass on that Koto.
"Ue wo muite arukou"
Sakamoto Kyu...and the 518 others killed in the crash of Japan Air Lines Flight 123. - RIP
I love this song: Janice looks great! These girls made a lot of great music. Thanks for sharing!
I love love this song even if it's not the original song.This is the version I know and love from my childhood .Thanks for posting this video :)
A Japanese woman sang this English version in Japan. It's nice to know that they acknowledge our music here in the states.
Love this song...
@pajudo215 - Thank you for sharing your very personal & touching story. My condolences to you and your family for your loss.
It just goes to show how powerful music is,.no matter what language. Sorry about your loss. Peace to you & your family.
I remember this performance like it was just yesterday! Thank you so much for posting this!
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for posting one of my favorites from these two classy ladies. A true joy to watch : )
Janice's facial expressions sending me a great talent ❤ Asian culture in this classic ballad.
This song bring tears to my eyes. The woman I love with all my heart left me. Her name is Xochitl, if you read this this, please know that I will always love you!!!
Great Song, great performance.
Thanks, I'd forgotten about this gem.
I remember way back in 1981 when I first saw this performance on Solid Gold. I was 2 going 3 at that time. I remember the kimono dresses they wore on the show (I didn't know what kimono dress was back then). Me and my mom love the American English version of the song to death. I recently heard the original Japanese version, which sounds good. But the english version along with Janice-Marie Johnson's vocals and the sounds of the koto made the song more beautiful.
I agree this is one of the best songs to come out of the 80's. Too bad none of the Solid Gold Dancers were in it. Cooley Jaxson is a friend of ours and attended our wedding this past June. A wonderful, talented, amazing man!!
