The Story
Honey Cone is a U.S. girl group known for their rhythm and blues sound, active since 1969 under Hot Wax Records. The trio, featuring Edna Wright, Carolyn Willis, and Shelly Clark, made waves with their hit "Want Ads," a catchy anthem that showcased their smooth harmonies and engaging lyrics. They also delivered the funky "Stick Up," which further solidified their presence in the R&B scene. With ties to the songwriting powerhouse Holland–Dozier–Holland, Honey Cone brought a fresh take on the girl group dynamic, blending soulful melodies with a modern twist. Their music remains a delightful reminder of an era where girl power was just starting to take shape.
