King Bees (band)

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]
