Robin Wilson -- "Bitter Honey" (A&M) 1970
Written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. Produced and arranged by Bob Alcivar.
From the A&M album, "Ain't That Something". The title was also issued on 45 as A&M 1317 in 1971.
This song first appeared from Holly Mackerel on Reprise in 1968; this group included the song's co-writer, Paul Williams. Other versions followed by Carol Dunn on Congress and the 4 Fuller Brothers on Decca.
The second A&M LP from Robin Wilson took its name from a Priscilla Paris song, "Ain't That Something". In addition to this track, the album was filled with the work of contemporary songwriters such as Laura Nyro, Jackie DeShannon, Gordon Lightfoot, Tony Hatch and Pete Anders-Vinnie Poncia.
No hits, either on 45 or LP for Robin but a another fine version of a Roger Nichols-Paul Williams' song. The duo wrote many including "Rainy Days And Monday" and "We've Only Just Begun" for the Carpenters.
