Kyu Sakamoto's version of Sukiyaki was originally titled "Ue o Muite Aruko" in 1961, The American and British DJs couldn't pronounce it so the Label named it "Sukiyaki." It was derogatory to say the least, but the song was an international hit. I remember hearing Sukiyaki on LA Pop and Rock 'n Roll stations. Mr.Sakamoto perished in a Japanese airline disaster of 1985.

I've recently come to realize that 1978 was probably the greatest year in music in my lifetime. Boogie Oogie Oogie was #9 on the Billboard Charts that year. Saturday night fever came out in December 77. The 1978 charts had five of the top 10 songs from one family.(BeeGees had 3, Andy Gibb had 2) it was the year the movie Grease came out. Another great song from that year was Love Will Find a Way by Pablo Cruise. Summer 78 was the season of Baker Street and Donna Summer's Last Dance.

That sound you're hearing that you think might be kazoo is actually a clavinet, the same instrument you hear Stevie Wonder play on a number of songs but which you'll particularly notice in the intro to his song, "Superstition." A clavinet is similar to a piano but smaller, electronically amplified (because otherwise it's super quiet), and makes its sounds in a similar but slightly different way than a piano, giving its notes more of a metallic sound. The clavinet is basically a modern version of a clavichord, a keyboard instrument invented in the 14th century and which was a precursor to the harpsichord, a bigger, louder keyboard instrument you hear a lot in classical music from the 18th century, like Mozart, Bach, etc. In the middle of the 20th century, Ernst Zacharias decided to update the clavichord by making it electronically amplified and the clavinet is the result. TWO FUN FACTS ABOUT CLAVINETS: (1) Stevie Wonder has referred to the clavinet as "my electric guitar," because it gives him that gritty, funky, metallic sound he can't get with any other instrument; and (2) because the clavinet is electronically amplified, you can attach FX pedals just like for a guitar, including things like wah-wah pedals and overdrive pedals. In fact, some modern clavinets even have a whammy bar for aggressive pitch-bending. It's a cool instrument with a very unique sound. Of course, these days, you don't need to actually buy a clavinet. Most synthesizers and computer music programs have at least one setting or sample that mimics the sound of the clavinet.

I've suggested them for _Female Friday_ a few times, and it's nice that you got to them and enjoyed them. 🙂 The "kazoo" sound may be a synthesizer, but I've seen video footage of them playing live, and Hazel Payne made that sound with her guitar. Janice-Marie Johnson plays bass. My dad played a little of the bass solo for me a few years ago. His bass guitar was in their guest bedroom and I asked if he still played. He said once in a while. I basically dared him to play something funky right then and there. I told him he was old and rusty and probably couldn't play a thing. He gave me "the parent stare", told me to move out of the way so he could get his amp. He showed out. The house was bumping with that guitar. 😄 My step-mother asked why I did that to her because she knew he'd be up all night playing, and it had been ages since she had to go through that. 😄 He did stay up late playing, and thanked me for helping him get back to playing. 😊 I suggest listening to their song "Sukiyaki", next. If you watch them actually perform, you'll see one of them playing the Japanese instrument called a Koto. I love the sound of it, and one of my favorite jazz groups, _Hiroshima_ features it in their song "One Wish" and others. The late Japanese singer, Kyu Sakamoto, released "Sukiyaki" in the late 1960s. His version is really pretty.

Yes, Sukiyaki was not originally their song, and they wrote different English lyrics to it. I love the original by Kyu Sakamoto.

The live version on Midnight Special is so much fun. Iconic disco. The women are gorgeous too.

That solo is played on electric guitar (with a lot of effects ofc). You can see it on live perfomaces. 🎸 Seeing you guys enjoying music like that is just heartwarming. ♥️🙋

You have to check out the video of them performing this.. This was huge back in 1978 especially because of the fact they were good and they were two women playing the guitar and bass.. My little young mind was blown

I think I was 15 or 16 when this song came out. It was one of my absolute favourites! It always, and still does, made me dance. It sure brings me back. Thanks guys!

No one who grew up in the 60s can think of anything except Herb Alpert and his rendition of A Taste of Honey when we hear this title (different song but must have inspired the title here) . There was a female singer who did a version in the 50s or 60s too that was great. You guys would love it, should check it out.

This is one of the outstanding songs from the Disco era. Danced to this at the clubs lots of times. 💃🏻 🕺 but this group was pretty much a one hit wonder. You guys still need to check out the big Disco classics from K.C. the Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight and That’s the Way I Like It.

I come back to your channel again and again to watch you discover the music I first heard growing up. Case in point, this song came out when I was in high school and yes, it was that song that united everyone on the dance floor. You two prove the joy of good music is timeless, whether it's classical, rock, r & b, country or even disco!

I love this song! You should have used the live version to see the women play the guitars! They are amazing! Their other hit was Sukiyaki an English version of a very popular Japenese song. its funny because when it came out everyone was singing it but no one knew what the song was about!

Ditto what Mr Rodgers said. The live versions are fabulous... PERFECT in every way. Great Guitar Playing, Great Moves, Great Lyrics, beautiful voices and gorgeous guitar-plucking performers. . whether decades ago or more recent oldies shows.

Oh this will and has always been a favorite of mine since 1978. "Sukiyaki", "I'll Try Something New"(A Smokey Robinson cover) and "Rescue Me" are wonderful songs by A Taste Of Honey worth a listen. Other songs from various albums are also great.

Jay and his iconic "Hey" takes me out everytime!! This is STILL the jam!!! Janice Marie Johnson STILL looks good and plays a mean bass.
