Description
• The sound of 1964 USA, a surf/hot rod collection featuring two albums by legendary producer Gary Usher’s Hondells.
• An exploitation combo created by the latter day Beach Boys and Byrds producer who scored national hits with covers of The Beach Boys and The Lovin’ Spoonful.
Usher was the first outsider to collaborate with The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, co-writing ten songs with him, including 'In My Room' and '409'. He also produced The Byrds and Sons Of Adam.
He initiated The Hondells project, produced the hit singles and the group’s two long players and created a sound synonymous with the name The Hondells.
‘Go Little Honda’ produced the band's biggest hit, 'Little Honda' a Beach Boys’ song, penned by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for their album 'All Summer Long', released in '64. The Beach Boys hadn't put out their original as a single and noticing how well the cover was doing quickly released it but ironically, it was only a minor hit for the surf legends.
The Hondells self-titled follow up album (again released in 1964) produced a hit with their version of The Lovin' Spoonful's 'A Younger Girl', which charted at number 52 in the States.
