'Herman's Hermits' History:
AboutHerman's Hermits began life in 1963 in Manchester, England as The Heartbeats. They took the name Herman's Hermits when they were joined by 16-year-old former child actor (he had been in long-running TV soap Coronation Street) Peter Noone, who was thought to resemble the character of Sherman on the Rocky and Bullwinkle TV cartoon show (so why not Sherman's Shermits, then?). Pop producer Mickie Most thought that Noone looked like a young John Kennedy and agreed to sign the band up. Most then chose the groups material, from revamped oldies and pub songs, to tunes submitted by professional songwriters like Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and produced the recordings, generally using Noone as singer and a group of studio musicians. The result was two years of solid hits, starting with "I'm into Something Good," which topped the UK charts and broke the group in America. There were 11 Top Ten hits in the USA prior to 1967, among them the Number One gold singles "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VII, I Am." |
