Who’s not in the mood for a good tearjerker every once in a while? In 1968, the listening public certainly was. Audiences all over the world made Bobby Goldsboro’s weeper “Honey” a runaway hit. Goldsboro took a somewhat circuitous route to recording the song, disliking it at first and then being forced to wait out the commercial run of another version of it before finally doing it on its own. Good thing he was patient, because “Honey” turned out to be the biggest song of his career.
