Honey Cone - Soulful Tapestry (1971)

Honey Cone was an American R&B and soul all–girl vocal group, who are best remembered for their Billboard #1 hit single, "Want Ads". They were the premier female group for Hot Wax Records, operated by Holland–Dozier–Holland after they had departed from Motown Records.

Soulful Tapestry is the third studio album by girl group the Honey Cone. It was released by Hot Wax/Invictus Records in 1971.

The name of the album was based on and inspired by Carole King's Pop/Rock break-through 1971 album Tapestry. The album contained the group's three highest charting singles including; the funky soul upbeat number "Want Ads" - In the vein of The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," this single became the group's highest charting single and biggest single of their career hitting number one in June, 1971; "Stick-Up" - a similar follow up to "Want Ads," the song peaked at number eleven in the US in August, 1971; and "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (Pt. 1)" - a Latin flavoured slam at a lover gone cold with similar chord progressions akin to The Isley Brothers' 1962 hit "Twist & Shout", a number fifteen hit in November, 1971.

Though out of print, like the group's other releases, all of the tracks on this album are featured on Honey Cone's Soulful Sugar: The Complete Hot Wax Recordings (2001, Castle Music UK). This album was also issued on CD by the Japanese label P-Vine (PCD-4958).
