Don Hinton - Vocal Roland Janes - Guitar Sid Manker - Guitar Billy Riley - Bass Jimmy M. Van Eaton – Drums Charlie Rich – Piano An ardent Elvis Presley devotee, Donald L. Hinton grew up in Carruthersville, Missouri wearing cool clothes, driving a slick car and singing the kind of rock and roll songs that he hoped the King would approve of. A taste of the real thing came when he opened for Carl Perkins, a move that gave him the concocted with Narvel Felts. His moment at the label came and went in a heartbeat but the peppy ''Honey Bee'' is a deserving lagacy. Records like ''Honey Bee'' were not that hard to find in the 1960 pop marketplace. They came complete with quasi-Latin rhythms and Elvisy vocals, like Donnie Brooks' popular ''Mission Bell''. Hinton arrived at 639 Madison in March, 1960 and recorded four titles, two of which were released on May 10th. Not bad – a two-month delay for a kid obsessed with Sun Records. The record sold poorly, though, and Hinton's Sun career was over almost as quickly as it started
