A Taste of Honey, formed in 1971 by Janice Marie Johnson and Perry Kibble, gained fame with their hits "Boogie Oogie Oogie" and "Sukiyaki." The disco-soul group's success led to a Grammy win and platinum-selling album before disbanding in the early '80s. Despite lineup changes, their music continued to influence rap producers and was reissued in the 2010s.

Following their chart-topping success, internal disputes and lineup changes plagued A Taste of Honey, leading to their eventual disbandment. Their impact on rap music continued long after their breakup, with their songs being sampled by notable artists. A reunion in 2004 and reissues of their albums in the early 2010s kept their legacy alive in the music industry.
