Honey Ltd.

Girl group out of Detroit that was a proteges of Lee Hazlewood. They released only one record, 1968. The band came together in Detroit in the mid-60s when friends Laura Polkinghorne and Marsha Jo Temmer met sisters Alex and Joan Sliwin at Wayne State University. The four started singing together – mainly covers of the Motown hits being churned out of their hometown – and by 1967 had formed a group that producer Punch Andrews named the Mama Cats. That summer, as riots were sweeping the States, they spent two weeks in LA and loved it so much that in January of 1968, they pooled resources and moved there to try their luck as a band. They slept on Temmer's grandmother's floor and hitchhiked, stoned, to their audition with Hazlewood at 9,000 Sunset Blvd.
