A Taste of Honey was the name of an American recording act, formed in 1971 by associates Perry Kibble and Donald Ray Johnson. The members of the band consisted of Janice Marie Johnson (vocals, co-writer, bass), Carlita Dorhan (vocals, guitar), Perry Kibble (keyboards, co-producer, co-writer) and Donald Ray Johnson (drums). Long time friends, Kibble and Janice-Marie Johnson (no relation to Donald) were the original members of the band. Each had left a band to join forces and, after going through several drummers, they settled on Johnson, as well as replacing lead singer with Gregory Walker, who left the band just prior to the successful release of “Boogie Oogie Oogie”. Carlita Dorhan left the group in early 1976, and Hazel Payne was added.
“Twice As Sweet” was their third album overall and was produced by Jazz legend George Duke. A Taste Of Honey were as well known for their hit “Sukiyaki”, which is on this record, as they were for being female musicians, playing guitar, bass and singing. At the heart of the group were Janice Marie Johnson and Hazel Payne. They were produced by George Duke and have that slick Modern Soul sound that Duke was playing at the same time. One of the favorite song is “Rescue Me” with its guitar line and sharp horn stabs before mellowing out during the singing.
