A Taste of Honey (song)
"A Taste of Honey" er en popstandard skrevet af Bobby Scott og Ric Marlow. Det var oprindeligt et instrumentalnummer (eller et tilbagevendende tema) skrevet til Broadway-udgaven fra 1960 af det britiske skuespil A Taste of Honey fra 1958 (som også blev filmatiseret med samme navn i 1961). Både den originale og en senere indspilning af Herb Alpert i 1965 indbragte sangen fire Grammy Awards. En vokalversion af sangen, der først blev indspillet af Billy Dee Williams (og udgivet i 1961 på Prestige-labelet), blev indspillet af Beatles på deres første album i 1963. Barbra Streisand havde opført sangen som en del af sit kabaretnummer i 1962 og indspillede den på sit debutalbum The Barbra Streisand Album på Columbia, som vandt en Grammy for årets album (1963).
