COMMENTS "Honey Don't" is a song written by Carl Perkins, originally released on 1st January, 1956 as the B-side of the "Blue Suede Shoes" single, Sun 234. Both songs became rockabilly classics. Bill Dahl of Allmusic praised the song saying, "'Honey Don't' actually outclasses its more celebrated platter-mate in some ways." It has been covered by more than 20 other artists, including the Beatles, Ronnie Hawkins and Johnny Rivers. The song has appeared in the films Prince of Tides, Diner, and Perfect Sisters.
The Beatles recorded their version on 26th October 1964 one of the last songs recorded for Beatles for Sale, which was released in the United Kingdom on 4th December 1964. The North American release was on 15th December on Beatles '65.
Although John Lennon had previously sung the song live, Ringo Starr performed it for the album, his usual one lead vocal per album. (from Wikipedia)
