"Want Ads" was a million-selling Number 1 pop and R&B hit recorded by female group, Honey Cone for their third album Sweet Replies and also appears on their fourth album Soulful Tapestry (both 1971 releases). The song on the Detroit-based Hot Wax label was written by Greg Perry, General Norman Johnson and Barney Perkins. It was produced by staff producer, Greg Perry, and features a young Ray Parker, Jr. ("Ghostbusters") on rhythm guitar.
"Want Ads" was released as the first single from Soulful Tapestry in the United States in the spring of 1971 (see 1971 in music). It reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for one week and topped the R&B singles chart for three weeks in the United States, becoming the group's most successful single and their only number one placement on the pop charts.
Song information
Initially, Perry and Johnson had written a song for a female singer called "Stick Up",but the two decided that the song wasn't substantial enough so they re-wrote it with a change in chord progressions and new lyrics. With the catchy opening line of "Wanted, young man, single and free," "Want Ads" was born.
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.
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.

Honey Cone was the first act signed to the Hot Wax label, which Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland (Holland-Dozier-Holland) formed after leaving Motown in 1969. The idea for the song started when studio engineer Barney Perkins, while looking through the classified section of a newspaper, suggested that someone write a song about want ads. Perry, as producer and songwriter for the project, felt that the idea might work. The duo brought in Johnson, leader of Chairmen of the Board, to contribute to the writing, after co-writing "Somebody's Been Sleeping (In My Bed)" (a number 8 hit) with Perry for the Hot Wax group, 100 Proof (Aged in Soul).
"Want Ads" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 79 on April 10, 1971. Within nine weeks on the chart, "Want Ads" was at the number one position for the week starting June 12. The song also remained number one on the R&B singles chart for three non-consecutive weeks for the week starting May 29, 1971 and after being bumped for one week by Aretha Franklin's rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water", the song re-positioned at number one for two more weeks starting June 12 through June 19. Billboard ranked it as the No. 13 song for 1971.
The song went on to receive gold certification selling more than one million units in the U.S. The song's popularity had DJs playing the long version that was available on the Soulful Tapestry album. This was rare at the time. The song is said to have been a major contributor to the structure, sound, and grit of the pre-disco movement that would rock the popular music world.

“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."

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.
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 record 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.
Honey Cone and Hot Wax's debut single "While You're Out Looking for Sugar" peaked at #26 on Billboard's R&B chart, but the follow-up "Girls, It Ain't Easy," reached #8 on the same listing. Their third release "Want Ads" proved to be their biggest success, topping both the R&B and pop chart, selling over one million copies, awarded with a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in May 1971. - wikipedia

"Want Ads" is a song that was a million-selling Number 1 pop and R&B hit recorded by female group, Honey Cone for their third album Sweet Replies and also appears on their fourth album Soulful Tapestry. The song on the Detroit-based Hot Wax label was written by Greg Perry, General Norman Johnson and Barney Perkins. It was produced by staff producer, Greg Perry, and features a young Ray Parker, Jr. ("Ghostbusters") on rhythm guitar.
"Want Ads" was released as the first single from Soulful Tapestry in the United States in the spring of 1971. It reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for one week and topped the R&B singles chart for three weeks in the United States, becoming the group's most successful single and their only number one placement on the pop charts.
Initially, Perry and Johnson had written a song for a female singer called "Stick-Up", but the two decided that the song was not substantial enough so they re-wrote it with a change in chord progressions and new lyrics. With the catchy opening line of "Wanted, young man, single and free," "Want Ads" was born.
Honey Cone was the first act signed to the Hot Wax label, which Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland (Holland-Dozier-Holland) formed after leaving Motown in 1969. The idea for the song started when studio engineer Barney Perkins, while looking through the classified section of a newspaper, suggested that someone write a song about want ads. Perry, as producer and songwriter for the project, felt that the idea might work. The duo brought in Johnson, leader of Chairmen of the Board, to contribute to the writing, after co-writing "Somebody's Been Sleeping (In My Bed)" (a number 8 hit) with Perry for the Hot Wax group, 100 Proof (Aged in Soul).
"Want Ads" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 79 on April 10, 1971. Within nine weeks on the chart, "Want Ads" was at the number one position for the week starting June 12. The song also remained number one on the R&B singles chart for three non-consecutive weeks for the week starting May 29, 1971 and after being bumped for one week by Aretha Franklin's rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water", the song re-positioned at number one for two more weeks starting June 12 through June 19. Billboard ranked it as the No. 13 song for 1971.
The song went on to receive gold certification selling more than one million units in the U.S. The song's popularity had DJs playing the long version that was available on the Soulful Tapestry album. This was rare at the time. The song is said to have been a major contributor to the structure, sound, and grit of the pre-disco movement that would rock the popular music world.

[Spoken intro] I've got something on my mind. I wanted to say for quite some time. I think you know what I wanna say 'cause I'm sure it's bothering you, too You've got me so involved a little too deep, and you can't find a way to work it out. Well, I go on hung as far as I can, and it's time to come for us to talk it out. I'm sure she wants to know, too. Just what you intend to do? Won't you be man enough? Oh, just let me know [Chorus] Who's it gonna be? Her or me? Love can't be shared by three You've got to set one of us free (2x) You can't be toyin' with my heart This triangle must be torn apart 'Cause I can't go on fooling myself I'm so unhappy knowing there's someone else Heavenly mercy on a woman in need Don't tear my life up if you don't wanna be with me Let me know (let me know) Let me go (let me go) Did you say the same thing to her that you said to me? Are you touching her like you're touching me? Which one of us you need? You've gotta make a choice, you gotta choose I'm wondering and worrying, upset and confused Was it something I said? What have I done wrong? If the feeling's gone, don't keep me hangin' on Tell me [Chorus] I'm sharing your loving and kissing And I can feel the joy I'm missing She come to us like a brick wall I'm afraid one day it might fall It would hurt me if I lose, But it's time for you to choose [Repeat Chorus]
The first song attributed to “R Dunbar; E Wayne” was While You’re Out Looking for Sugar by HoneyCone... With Clark’s reluctant agreement, Honey Cone formed and topped the US Hot 100 in June 1971 with the inescapably catchy Want Ads.
