Biography
The Honeys, originally known as the Rovell Sisters, is an American girl group formed in Los Angeles in 1958. The initial lineup consisted of the sisters Marilyn Rovell, Diane Rovell, and Barbara Rovell, with Barbara Rovell later replaced by their cousin Ginger Blake. After meeting the Beach Boys, the producer Brian Wilson renamed the group the Honeys and produced their early singles, including "Shoot the Curl" and "Surfin' Down the Swanee River". The group provided backing vocals for the Beach Boys on hits like "Be True to Your School" and backed artists such as Bruce Johnston and the duo Jan and Dean on songs including "The New Girl in School" and "Dead Man's Curve". Their career saw modest success, and they remained mostly inactive after 1969. Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford and Diane Rovell later formed the duo American Spring in the 1970s. The group reunited intermittently, including in the 1980s to record the studio albums Ecstasy (1983) and It's Like Heaven (1986).
