Talk:The Honeydrippers

Rockin' At Midnite
Didn't the Honeydrippers have a hit with Rockin' At Midnite?

Butchered
The whole article has been completely butchered. The current version implies that Page and Beck were regular members and that "they" played with Plant in 1981. (In fact, the original 1981 Honeydrippers band had nothing to do with Page or Beck, while the 1984 group had nothing to do with the 1981 band.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.107.138.40 (talk) 06:51, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Origin of name
The article says in the first sentence: There is no source provided. It sounds reasonable. But a reliable source says it is an allusion to Black Dog (Led Zeppelin song) which contains the lyric "Watch your honey drip, can't keep away". Source, in the yellow post-it note graphic. It's possible they are both right, or one is wrong. Still, we report what is verifiable, and right now the only thing verifiable is Black Dog. Furthermore, I think any source that confirms the Sykes connection needs to be looked at closely for possible contamination by years of possibly incorrect information on Wikipedia.-- Green  C  17:51, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


 * A third theory: "whose name came from either from the nickname of bluesman Roosevelt Sykes or the song and backing band of ‘40s R&B star Joe Liggins, depending on who you ask". Source. -- Green  C  18:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I created an Origins section with multiple POVs. Also, this articles needs a lot of work because the band formed and reformed and was basically different bands under the same name. -- Green  C  19:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
