Description:

Issued on Hot Wax Records in 1971, “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show” captures Honey Cone at the peak of their chart success — blending Motown-style polish with the sass and independence of early ’70s female funk. Produced by the legendary Holland–Dozier–Holland team, the song is a defiant statement of empowerment, delivered with sharp harmonies, punchy brass, and an irresistible dance rhythm.

Lead vocalist Edna Wright brings fire and control to the performance, turning a breakup into a celebration of resilience. The track’s crisp arrangement — bright tambourine, driving bassline, and pop-soul hooks — made it an instant radio hit and a crossover favorite.

Part of a lineage stretching from The Supremes to later disco-era divas, “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show” remains a high-water mark of 1970s female soul: confident, hook-driven, and unshakably funky.
