The King Bees were an American New York-based rhythm and blues musical group of the 1960s. [1]
The King Bees were formed around 1964, and consisted of Danny Kortchmar (credited as Danny Kootch) ( guitar), Joel O'Brien ( drums), Dickie Frank ( bass) and John McDuffy (vocals and organ). [1] They released three singles on RCA Records. [1]
After the group disbanded, Kortchmar and O'Brien met again in the Flying Machine, fronted by then-unknown James Taylor, and were later to reunite in Jo Mama. [1] In 2003, after O'Brien's death, they had a memorial where Kortchmar and Frank played.
