And this was always a juke box fave when I started drinking in pubs @15-16, I say that because I'm pretty sure it was the 77 version which wasn't released but led to the band getting a record deal and re-recording it in 78, I dimly remember trying to buy it but the bloke in the record shop saying "Never eard of em son" then a few months later it was everywhere

BTW it was only on one pub's jukebox in the village (choice of 9 pubs and 4 clubs in Enderby)

I've got an original 45 of that on vinyl. The guitar track is a lot better than the version that became more widely known, in my humble opinion. I think it's the one they played on The John Peel Show.

So @Sharky rebuked me for dissing The Spinners. My brain went back to my childhood....
I went to St Saviours school in Ellesmere Port, a catholic school. Every now and then we’d get a visitation from Father Francis, his cassock, guitar and sandals. It was always excruciating. I can remember sitting in the assembly hall thinking that there had to be more to life and music than this...

When I saw this thread, TBH nothing really came to mind. Closest, Sugar Sugar by the Archies - first record I ever owned. Or Runaway, Del Shannon - I remember being enthralled by the falsetto for some reason. But this suddenly came on the randomiser and I was instantly back to my childhood with, as best I can remember, the first record I ever loved:

My mum had it and it got played a fair bit when I was young.
I think playing it in the presence of anyone under 10 should be a criminal offence.
caution: contains angels.

Nice para from wiki gets it, including the "transfixed":

Today the song is sometimes dismissed or disparaged, its contemporary popularity notwithstanding. It has been called "innocuous pop",[11] "classy schlock",[12] more "dreadful" than Pavarotti,[13] and, hyperbolically, the "Worst Song of All Time" by a writer whose ambivalent antipathy left him "transfixed" by "one of the biggest songs of the year."[14] In a 2011 poll Rolling Stone readers ranked "Honey" the second-worst song of the 1960s.[15]
