1951 Rolling Review Show … Midweek Melody # 70
Welcome to the 1951 Rolling Review Show which twice weekly features pieces of music I have enjoyed at some time in my life. I hope you enjoy them as well. Let me know if you do.
“I Can’t Let Maggie Go” – The Honeybus
Honeybus were a 1960s pop group formed in April 1967, in London. They are best known for their 1968 UK Top 10 hit single, “I Can’t Let Maggie Go”, written by member Pete Dello.
It reached Number 8 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1968, staying in the Top 40 for over two months. The song was famously featured in the Nimble Bread commercials on UK television.

This si a new one on me, it’s great! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve never heard this song, but the music and vocals remind me a little of the Beatles. I enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. You are spot on about the Beatles … especially in their pre-Revolver days. If you listen to their Rubber Soul album you’ll see what I’m saying.
Was it Honeybus who also did “Have I the right (to hold you)? And did they have a female drummer? A daring thing, in the ’60s.
Almost. Wrong honey though. You’re thinking of the Honeycombs who did have a hit with “Have I the Right (to Hold you)”.
They’re also the group with the female drummer.
Ah! Thanks.
