DEF: A Taste of Honey “Sukiyaki”

Los Angeles-based band A Taste of Honey hit the Top 5 with both songs they placed into the Top 40 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. After “Boogie Oogie Oogie” hit number one in 1978, on this date in 1981, their remake of Kyu Sakamoto’s chart-topping 1963 hit “Sukiyaki” reached a peak position of number 3. “Sukiyaki” by A Taste of Honey is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
