Honey Cone was formed by lead singer Edna Wright (sister of Darlene Love) with Carolyn Willis and Shelly Clark in 1969. They were the newly created Hot Wax Records' first signing to the fledgling label. The trio had previous musical experience with Willis a member of Girlfriends, Clark an ex-member of the Ikettes, and Wright a member of a gospel group, the Cogics. Wright and Willis were also "part-time" members of Love's group, The Blossoms. They had been singing together for a short while when they were spotted by Eddie Holland in 1969 who had recently left Motown Records along with Brian Holland, and Lamont Dozier to form their own music organization Holland-Dozier-Holland. Holland named the act "Honey Cone" for a favorite flavor of ice cream. At first, group members rejected the name, but Holland prevailed and the ladies soon embraced its distinctiveness.
At the time of this album's release, Hot Wax was experiencing troubles in their operation. This time period marked a downward spiral that would eventually put the freshly developed record label out of business permanently the following year. A few sources report that the reason for this pending expiration was that the independent distributors weren't paying up when it came to royalties from radio play and record sales. The album proved to be the group's biggest failure both critically and commercially; it was their lowest charting album since their sophomore release 1971's Sweet Replies.
Despite the dismissal of both the group and their final album at the time, the legacy of Honey Cone was reaffirmed when Kanye West sampled the distinctive lead vocals of Edna Wright from the track "Innocent 'Til Proven Guilty" for Common's 2005 single "Testify" from his commercial breakthrough album Be. Edna Wright also made a cameo appearance in the video.
Honey Cone was an American R&B and soul all–girl vocal group, who are best remembered for their Billboard #1 hit single, "Want Ads". They were the premier female group for Hot Wax Records, operated by Holland–Dozier–Holland after they had departed from Motown Records.

“The Tracks of My Tears” feat. Honey Cone and members of Earth, Wind & Fire
Scott Frankfurt Studio presents Honey Cone, Verdine White and members of Earth, Wind & Fire performing the classic “The Tracks of My Tears”. Get it here: https://scottfrankfurt.com
Written by Smokey Robinson, Marv Tarplin, and Warren "Pete" Moore. First released by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles in 1965.
Artist/Producer Scott Frankfurt says, "There are incredible versions of this song from Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Linda Ronstadt and others - so taking this on meant bringing something truly unique to it. I was curious if a rock & roll edge would add depth to the legacy of this melody and lyric, and invited Honey Cone (and their phenom husbands) to deliver their artistry and I'm thrilled with the results. I really hope the fans enjoy it."
