Answer: A Taste of Honey

A Taste of Honey won the Best New Artist Grammy in 1978 for their number one smash, the kiss of death for many artists. They did, however, climb to number three on the pop charts with a remake of "Sukiyaki" in 1981.

4. Want some honey and got no money? Perhaps you should get on the dance floor to The Hipsways' only hit.

Answer: The Honeythief

Honey-thievery paid off for Scotland's Hipsway and their danceable ditty in the form of their only pop hit in 1987.

5. Let's crank it up a notch with a little wine, women, song and sweetness. Who sang the top five hit "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"?

Answer: Jimmie Rodgers

The pop singer Jimmie Rodgers (not to be confused with the country music legend) scored 14 Top 40 hits including another sweet song, "Honeycomb". By the way, I didn't make up Timmy "Oh Yeah" Rogers. He scored with "Back To School Again", a minor hit in 1957.

6. While we're in the Rogers musical neighborhood, we can't forget Julie Rogers who had what wedding hit in 1964?
