THIS WEEK'S SELECTIONS PROVIDED BY ANDREW BOHAN

"Grieving For You"/"Buzzin' Around"
by Three B's And A Honey
on Savoy 687-A/B
released in 1949

Above: Three B's And A Honey consisted of (Top) Yvonne DuBarry, (Bottom L-R) Bill Forrester, Bert Hall, and Bobby Smith. A clever group name as each of the Three B's first names start with a "B." As indicated by this picture, they were a self-contained vocal/instrumental group with Yvonne on the conga drums and the Three B's playing guitar, bass and piano.

Above: Label image of Savoy 687 recorded on 1/27/49 and released in March 1949. There were two additional songs recorded in this session but not released. Three B's And A Honey did have at least one other record, that one on Lillian Claiborne's DC label in 1948.
