Throwback Video of the Night: “Sukiyaki” – A Taste of Honey (1981)

“Now here’s a true 1981 crossover moment…

A Taste of Honey took Sukiyaki all the way to number one, blending pop, R&B, and global influence into one unforgettable hit.

Originally adapted from a Japanese melody, this version connected across cultures and generations — proof that great music has no borders.

And if you remember them performing this on American Bandstand, you know exactly why the song resonated. The energy, the style, the confidence — pure early-’80s magic.

That’s tonight’s Throwback Video of the Night — pure nostalgia.
