  1. "Money Honey" is a song written by #JesseStone, which was released in September 1953 as the first single by #ClydeMcPhatter backed for the first time by the newly formed #Drifters. McPhatter's voice, but not his name, had become well known when he was the lead singer for #BillyWardAndTheDominoes. The song was an immediate hit and remained on the #rhythmAndBlues chart for 23 weeks, peaking at number 1.

    This very enjoyable Drifters soundalike was issued on the short-lived Heidi record label. Distributed by Atlantic Records, Heidi was a showcase for the productions of Tom Dowd and Bert Keyes, and if my memory serves me right, it may have been owned by them as well.
