"Herman" is actually Peter Noone, now 74 years old and still going strong. He's regularly on a weekly show on Sirius XM playing the "golden oldies." And he and his wife married in 1968 and are still together. 😀
Peter once signed a CD for me as "Peter NoOne" after we had joked around about people mispronouncing his name. He's a very outgoing guy. Definitely like fans.
I had the privilege of seeing Peter Noone, the lead singer of Herman’s Hermits and won a backstage pass to meet him. He has a great sense of humor. When I asked him to sign my CD, he drew a mustache on his face and then signed! LOL.
"I'm Henry VIII I Am" was a song written over 100 years ago, but they did a classic pop version in 1965. "Mrs Brown You've Got a Very Lovely Daughter" is another iconic HH tune.
Not only was "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" a hit for Herman's Hermits, they actually made a movie based on the song which featured Peter Noone and all the members of Herman's Hermits in the film!
Herman's Hermits version was a cover. It was originally released by a group of teen/pre teen brothers from Franklin Ohio, called Gary And The Hornets. There version was titled Kind Of Hush, was a bigger hit, and got more airplay in Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
There's something so appealing about the innocence of these 60s songs. Harkens back to a much simpler time where things weren't so complicated. Gives you such a good feeling.
Loved their music, but one big obstacle for me in the 1960s was my father! He would not let us (even my Mother, his wife!) listen to HHs or any contemporary bands ( Beatles, Stones, Elvis Presley, even Tom Jones). Soo glad to have defied him ;-) and enjoyed all the 60s+ bands/singers--'Hey Hey, We're the Monkeys'. Now I'm a dedicated hard rock fan--- Sorry, Dad ;-) lol. Thanks, RSR for listening and reacting to these tunes!
So glad you finally reacted to Herman’s Hermits. Their music was fun. Now you have to listen to “Henry the 8th”, There’s a kind of Hush, and more. Peter Noone (Herman) still tours. I saw him a few years ago before Covid and his show was great. Very energetic.
We try to see him when he comes to Vegas. He always talks about coming up with all the other British invasion. Love the story about sitting between John Lennon and Graham Nash in a bar. None of them knew what was to come...
I can’t think about this song and not see that one scene in Ghost with Patrick Swayze singing it to Whoopi Goldberg. I laugh so hard every time I watch it.
The band's hits included: "I'm into Something Good", "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", "Silhouettes", "Wonderful World", "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am" (in the U.S.), "There's a Kind of Hush", "Just a Little Bit Better", "A Must to Avoid", "Listen People", "The End of the World", "Dandy", and "No Milk Today". Herman’s Hermits sold more than 60 million records and had 14 gold singles and seven gold albums. The Hermits were twice named in the U.S. trade paper Cashbox as "Entertainer of the Year".
Not only is Peter Noone ("Herman") still a DJ on Sirius radio's '60's station, but his daughter is also a Sirius DJ. Peter was 17 when this first hit of his came out in 1965. This song is played during a hysterical love scene montage in "Naked Gun" with Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley. (Yes, youngsters, she was married to Elvis.)
Herman's Hermits were one of the few British Invasion bands that sang with a British accent. You can really hear it in Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter. The Kinks did at times too, but other bands sounded American.
Actually Herman is Peter Noone. He still tours on the oldies circuit. My wife and I saw him a number of years ago together with Davy Jones and Bobby Sherman.
These guys had quite a few catchy hits in the bubble gum genre. The music is simple and positive with a great hook. The bands still smiled when they performed. How could you not feel better after hearing it?
This band was not bubble gum. They was part of the British Invasion of the 1960s, when many rock bands from England came onto the American music scene. Bubble gum music was produced by people who were more capitalists than musicians to focus on the money, then putting together a band to play it for the tween crowd (10 to 12 years old, extending up to about 15), such as the Archies, the Partridge Family, and The Osmonds. The Monkees started out as bubble gum (put together through ads in a local LA newspaper), but they quickly evolved into a true artistic band. This song was in the same flavor of "I want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles, a bit youthful on the love angle, to be sure, but created and played by real artistic musicians.
J & A, their "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", "There's a Kind of Hush" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" are next for you! edit- I have pictures of being at their concert as a child, but don't remember a thing! Lead singer is Peter Noone.
All of your suggestions are spot on,, surlechapeau!! Mrs Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter tugs on heart strings. Henry VIII is just plain fun. There's A Kind Of Hush is beautiful ❤❤❤
I'll put a plug in for another big hit from these guys, "There's a Kind of Hush" from 1967. The Carpenters did a great cover of it too in 1976. Also, this mid-sixties sound (1964 for this song) was revived off and on in later years, particularly in the eighties with songs like "There She Goes" by the La's from 1988.
Peter noon, the lead singer was probably only around 16 when he sang this song. Back in the early 60s my mom and dad couldn't stand the British invasion, but my mom fell in love with cute little "Herman." I saw him a few years ago in a small concert venue, and he was great, still a lot of energy and fun.
"Mrs Brown, Your;ve Got a lovely Daughter" and "There's a Kind of Hush." Y'all also need to check out another British Invasion band, Gerry and the Pacemakers and their songs, "Ferry 'Cross the Mersey," and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying." Two of the most beautiful songs to come out of the 60s
Back then there was no auto tune or anything like that ,it was just the natural voice so if you didn't sound good you were out ! Talent was all you needed !
The song "Mrs Brown You're Got A Lovely Daughter" was written by the late Trevor Peacock. Best known as Jim Trott in the TV series "The Vicar Of Dibley" " Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes...ah no"
J/A, this song is in The Naked Gun (1988) movie, which is voted by many, one of the best comedy movies ever. Your sides will hurt from laughing so hard. Definitely should add this movie to your list for upcoming movie reactions.
I met Peter Noone in 1996 at a New Year's Eve party on the East Side of Manhattan. They told me ahead of time that he was going to be there and so I took it upon myself to buy a CD copy of *Herman's Hermits* Greatest Hits and brought it with me for him to sign. He was low-key and gentlemanly. Very nice guy.
I passed a favourable comment on 'Wings of Pegasus' when one of Peter's songs was being reviewed. It was a lovely surprise when he got back to me as he remembered me from school and a couple of incidents that had happened which I remembered.
I remember as a kid , my very first record I ever bought with my own money was a 45 of "There's a Kind of Hush" Always loved this band. I got the opportunity to see him perform live a few years ago at a local county fair. At his age he still has his distinctive voice and a head full of hair.
Obviously the next logical step in this journey is "The Dave Clark Five." I love this style of music. Thanks for this reaction. Peter Noone and the boys are a treat. Peace
Great choice. This was actually their debut single, in 1964. It hit #1 in the UK. They had two #1 hits in the US, both classics - "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". Another great Hermits tune is "There's a Kind of Hush". They were part of the British invasion of the 60s that The Beatles' spearheaded. Peter Noone is the lead singer.
Such a classic! "There's A Kind Of Hush" "No Milk Today" "Mrs. Brown" "Silhouettes" "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" are some others you might want to check out.
Always loved this song; still do. It's got a nice bouncy melody, beautiful harmonies, and lovely lyrics of young love. It's full of optimism, happiness, and joy.
A British band. I was born and raised in a small Eastern Kentucky town, and in 1964 Dick Clark came to town with a performance called the Caravan of Stars with multiple groups. Herman's Hermits was one of the groups. I was 11 years old and showed up at the back door of the gym where they were performing. Someone let me come inside for free, and I got to see Herman's Hermits. Loved that day!!!
Written by Mason Williams who was a musician supporting the Smothers Brothers. Tommy Smothers didn’t think it was a very good song and ended up being totally wrong.
I am English and drove mum and dad mad listening to this repeatedly when i was 14 on my record player. Just loved them❤️ ❤❤❤P.S i am 71 years old now xx
My first concert was Herman's Hermits. 8th grade.I like to think of this as a rock and roll band even parents approved of. My father was a cop and the father of the friend I went with was a minister. It was the first time we were allowed to go somewhere at night unchaperoned.
HH is part of the original British invasion groups of the 60s. Check out the Dave Clark 5 another similar group Because" and "Glad all over are great songs to check out!
I saw HH at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in (I believe)1965. Their warm-up band was another British group called The Who. Not a bad show for about $5.00!
Leaning on a Lamppost was my fave song by then when I was younger. I loved singing along to it really fast. Now, my fave is This Door Swings Both Ways, and my mum is all over It's a Kind of Hush. Peter Noone sounds exactly the same these days too. He's got so much energy and charisma on stage.
Saw this band live, in a park, sitting on a blanket. Four bands total that day. Herman's Hermits, the Kingsman ("Louis louis"), the Turtles ("Happy Together"), and Paul Revere and the Raiders ("Indian Reservation"). I believe Herman's Hermits does a tune called "Henry the VIII I am". That is my favorite tune by them. Their biggest tune was probably "There's a kind of Hush"
This song, written by Carole King and Jerry Goffin, was first done by Earl-Jean, a former member of the girl group the Cookies, in 1964. The Cookies had a few hits, including "Chains," covered by the Beatles, and "Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby"
Peter (lead singer) was actually blond. They wanted him to dye his hair darker due to the "Beetle Invasion" and all of the other English groups. I haven't heard this song for a long time. Thanks, made me smile!
It's Peter Blair Denis Bernard Noone to be exact. I've always loved Herman's Hermits and this song especially brings back a childhood memory. My father was refinishing our basement and every night after dinner he, my mother and I would spend the evening downstairs with the AM radio station on and this was one of the songs that was out at the time.
Formed in Manchester in 1964 birth place of The Gibbs and Davy Jones of The Monkees. He was 17 when the band started his name is Peter Noone but because of his similarity to a popular tv cartoon character at the time the band became Herman’s Hermits. I actually saw them perform October 1986 in Mobile opening along with Gary Puckett and the Union Gap for the Monkees 20 th anniversary tour. You should do Mrs. Brown, Henry the Eighth, There’s a Kind of Hush,No Milk Today, Listen People. Great pop group from the British Invasion immensely talented.
I saw peter noone & Herman Hermits in concert at the meadow lands , nj last year. Peter & the group was great, he played all the old songs & some songs from the 50&60s. You can check the them out on u tube. 😊
What a blast from the past! Peter Noone aka Herman was my first crush. I saw them a few years ago and it was an absolute blast. Check out a more recent live video. It looks like an octogenarian aerobics class. Beautiful stuff. Music is eternal ✌️❤️
Herman's Hermits were part of what was known as the 'British Invasion' back in 1964 along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Dave Clark Five, among others. It was quite a phenomenon but only The Beatles and The Stones proved to have staying power.
That's because the Beatles, and Stones, actually mastered their instruments. Most bands back then were barely out of the garage, and weren't allowed, by their record companies, to play on their records. Studio musicians, did the playing (even the Beach Boys) !
Another sweet song written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin. Amazing to think how young the band was when they recorded this (July 1964). Peter Noone was just 16. Keith Hopwood, rhythm guitar, 17. Karl Green, bass, almost 17. Barry Whitwam, drums, 18. Derek Leckenby, lead guitar, the old man, at 21.
If you like harmonies, try the Hollies "Look Through Any Window." One of their members was Graham Nash who went on to form Crosby Stills and Nash. (They had a lot of other great hits too. "Bus Stop" is a "meet cute" love story.)
Yes, if you want The Hollies, here are the songs: "Bus Stop" "On A Carousel" "Carrie-Anne" "The Air That I Breathe" "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" (this is very different than the typical Hollies style) "Peggy Sue Got Married" Buddy Holly & The Hollies (if you can find it. The Hollies added instruments and vocal harmonies to Buddy's original apartment recording which consisted of a vocal and acoustic guitar.)
I'm Into Something Good...was written by (then) Husband/Wife songwriting team, Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Amber mentioned she heard a Beach Boys influence, King, herself, responsible for the melody, said that she was inspired by Brian Wilson's sound. There is no "Herman", the lead singer is Peter Noone, and he is still active in entertainment in 2022, at age 74. This was another early British Invasion group, like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dave Clark 5, and the Zombies.
One of my late Grandmother's favourite tunes, I remember find it tucked in the record shelf of her radiogram and played it along some more of her record collection one quiet Saturday afternoon. It always reminds me of her. Thanks for the reaction.
The songs I remember most from Herman's Hermits when I was a kid in the 60s were 'There's a Kind of Hush', 'Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter' and I'm Henry the Eighth (VIII) I Am. Another old 'group' I don't believe you've touched on yet that were really popular in the late 50s & early 60s is the Everly brothers. Their songs 'Wake Up Little Suzi', Cathy's Clown', 'All I Have to Do is Dream', and 'Til I Kissed You' just to name a few. Oh and they also did 'Love Hurts' which you covered but not by them.. you did the Nazareth version from the 70s. And speaking of Nazareth.. you really should get back to them again.. possibly their songs 'Razamanaz', 'Holy Roller', 'Shanghai'd in Shanghai', 'Broken Down Angel', 'Woke Up This Morning', 'Hair of the Dog', 'This Flight Tonight', 'Turn On Your Receiver', etc., etc. 😀
Herman's Hermits were a huge British invasion group from the mid-'60's. You might want to check out "A Must to Avoid", "No Milk Today" and "Can't You Hear my Heartbeat?" Perfect British rock!
Amber, still waiting for you to react to Scott McKenzie’s “San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)” your hippie soul will thank you. It’s the unofficial (yet official) anthem of the 60’s counter culture era ☮️🌼
Guys these guys formed in like 63 or 64. Peter Noone the lead singer was 15 when they started up. He was already an actor at the time. The band made a few movies too. This band was part of the big British Invasion of the 60s. For more, try There's a kind of hush, or Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter, or Henry the 8th. Peter is in his 70s and still performing. I think his daughter is part of his show now too.
I've actually seen them, back in the '90's along with The Monkees, The Grass Roots and Gary Puckett And The Union Gap. Great concert, the Monkees were the headline act. My favorite song by them is "There's A Kind Of Hush"........all over the world tonight...... 🙂
I'm into Something Good was Herman's Hermits first hit in the USA.in 1964 It reached number 13 on Billboard singles charts, and went to #1 in England. It and Just A Little Bit Better (1965) are my favorite Hermania hits. There biggest hits were remakes of Silhouettes and Can't You Hear My Heart Beat and Henry The VIII I AM, all three from 1965. Dandy (written by Ray Davies of the Kinks) was their big 1966 hit. There's a KInd of Hush from 1967 was big as well. 1965 was their peak, They outsold both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones that year, Oops! I forgot Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter from 1965 as well!
A very fun group from when I was a kid. I just saw them on a PBS special. They did Henry the 8th, which is really a simple song, but we sang it all the time as kids.The audience went crazy.
I actually think a lot of the 60's songs resonate with all of us because of their purity and simplicity. There is nothing complicated about this song, but the harmonies are wholesome and beautiful!
Great Oldie! Love It! Another group that was similar and part of the 'British Invasion' was Chad and Jeremy. More easy listening and not as much standard rock, but some really wonderful songs. Top of the list for them would be 'A Summer Song', but also 'Yesterday's Gone', and 'Willow Weep for Me'. Many other good ones too! Thanks for dipping back to this timeframe! :) PS- Also Peter & Gordon from this time.
Thank you so much for sending me down this rabbit hole. I had forgotten how many songs Herman's Hermits did that I loved. I will remember to keep revisiting them 😊
Well if you like Herman's Hermits then you have to listen to mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter and then Henry the 8th come to think of it I don't think they have a bad song
Rob, you mentioned Bill Haley and his comets at the beginning. You need to react to Bill Haley & his Comets - "Hot Dog, Buddy, Buddy" - from "Don't Knock The Rock" - HQ 1956" It's a great video, and performance.
I grew up with Herman's Hermits as part of the mix...this tune, *Henry the Eighth* (my personal favorite) and *Mrs Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter* are what come to mind but there must be others... Herman's Hermits are like comfort food, tasty and familiar... Thanks S.W.
I have not even watched the video yet and I saw your Herman’s Hermits I have loved them since I was about 10 years old and I am now 65. I got to meet Peter Noone at a concert in St. Louis Missouri decades ago
Awe I love Herman's Hermits ,I was on my way home from the Cinema and some young Lads were sitting at the back of the bus and one was singing this song, turns out they had come from the local dance hall so I went there the following week, sure enough they were there and the boy singing walked me home and the rest was history this song is responsible for us getting together ..three children later ... seems so long ago now 💕..There's a kind of Hush is another great song of theirs

A bandmate thought he looked like Sherman from "Sherman and Mr. Peabody" from the Bullwinkle show, and that's where "Herman" came from.

Bubblegum drivel at bubbliest gummiest driveliest. Just stick it somewhere safe when your done.
When I first heard this as a 12 year old in 1964 my world was filled with hope.
I was 7. Same deal.
The band's hits included: "I'm into Something Good", "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", "Silhouettes", "Wonderful World", "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am" (in the U.S.), "There's a Kind of Hush", "Just a Little Bit Better", "A Must to Avoid", "Listen People", "The End of the World", "Dandy", and "No Milk Today".

'hush' is a song you don't hear too much these days, but is excellent!
Yes, I love "There's a Kind of Hush." It's a very sweet love song that never gets old. "I'm Henry the VIII, I Am" is funny!
I've always been a fan of "Dandy".
No Milk Today was one of my favorites along with Mrs. Brown. By the way, Patrick Swayze sang I'm Henry the 8th in Ghost.
One of the 60's British invasion bands.

Peter Noone, still performing today and sounds as good as he did in the 60's
He really does! It's kind of amazing.
Back then there was no auto tune or anything like that ,it was just the natural voice so if you didn't sound good you were out ! Talent was all you needed !
True. But auto tune even today only helps to a certain degree. If too much of it is used, it sounds sterile & bad.
"Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" is their best song, and was a big hit.

The song "Mrs Brown You're Got A Lovely Daughter" was written by the late Trevor Peacock. Best known as Jim Trott in the TV series "The Vicar Of Dibley" " Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes...ah no"
Peter Noone is still performing. I like the fact he also does benefit concerts. Quite popular in the mid 60s. Had many good songs. Nice upbeat sound.
Oh please react to their song Kind Of A Hush... they have so many great songs. Keep up the great music! 👍

He does a wonderful concert. He’s hysterical. Peter (Herman) Noone was 16 when they hit the charts.
Herman’s Hermits started in 1964, the originate from my home city of Manchester, England.
They are still going to this day.
I passed a favourable comment on 'Wings of Pegasus' when one of Peter's songs was being reviewed. It was a lovely surprise when he got back to me as he remembered me from school and a couple of incidents that had happened which I remembered.
What a throwback! Always loved his sharp, crystal clear voice.
I remember as a kid , my very first record I ever bought with my own money was a 45 of "There's a Kind of Hush" Always loved this band. I got the opportunity to see him perform live a few years ago at a local county fair. At his age he still has his distinctive voice and a head full of hair.
Mine was “Poor Side of Town” by Johnny Rivers .
My 2 older sisters talked me into it !😀
Obviously the next logical step in this journey is "The Dave Clark Five."
I love this style of music. Thanks for this reaction.
Peter Noone and the boys are a treat.
Peace
Yes, do Dave Clark Five!!!
Great choice. This was actually their debut single, in 1964. It hit #1 in the UK. They had two #1 hits in the US, both classics - "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". Another great Hermits tune is "There's a Kind of Hush". They were part of the British invasion of the 60s that The Beatles' spearheaded. Peter Noone is the lead singer.
Such a classic! "There's A Kind Of Hush" "No Milk Today" "Mrs. Brown" "Silhouettes" "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" are some others you might want to check out.
So wonderful to hear this again. The 60's had such great British bands which we all loved.
Always loved this song; still do. It's got a nice bouncy melody, beautiful harmonies, and lovely lyrics of young love. It's full of optimism, happiness, and joy.
A British band. I was born and raised in a small Eastern Kentucky town, and in 1964 Dick Clark came to town with a performance called the Caravan of Stars with multiple groups. Herman's Hermits was one of the groups. I was 11 years old and showed up at the back door of the gym where they were performing. Someone let me come inside for free, and I got to see Herman's Hermits. Loved that day!!!

"Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and " No Milk Today" are two of my favourite Herman's Hermits songs.
I'll second "Classical Gas" as another tune--it's an instrumental, but a masterpiece.
Written by Mason Williams who was a musician supporting the Smothers Brothers. Tommy Smothers didn’t think it was a very good song and ended up being totally wrong.
I've been to 3 of his concert in the last few years and he is still full of energy and his voice is still good. My favorite is "No Milk Today."
One of my favorite Herman’s Hermits songs.
I am English and drove mum and dad mad listening to this repeatedly when i was 14 on my record player. Just loved them❤️ ❤❤❤P.S i am 71 years old now xx
My first concert was Herman's Hermits. 8th grade.I like to think of this as a rock and roll band even parents approved of. My father was a cop and the father of the friend I went with was a minister. It was the first time we were allowed to go somewhere at night unchaperoned.
I was 11 years old when this came out. We all had a crush on Peter Noone!
Great British band as so many are .....loved all their hits takes me back to my young days xx
This was written by the legendary songwriting team Gerry Goffin and Carol King and was, incredibly, their only UK Number One single.
HH is part of the original British invasion groups of the 60s. Check out the Dave Clark 5 another similar group
Because" and "Glad all over are great songs to check out!
I might do Glad All Over at karaoke tonight lol
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Go for it!
I saw HH at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in (I believe)1965. Their warm-up band was another British group called The Who. Not a bad show for about $5.00!
@@TBSinc Hey, I saw the Beatles there in 1965. We were both lucky!
@@jgriffin282 Me "two" (2 times) and the Stones.
"I'm leaning on the lampost" by Herman's Hermits was my FAVOURITE song when I was 4 - 5 years old.
Early origins of Leaning on a Lampost :
ruclips.net/video/vEymZ3rXOmc/видео.html
Peter still preforms, on a summer tour now. We usually see him during the winter in Fla.
Leaning on a Lamppost was my fave song by then when I was younger. I loved singing along to it really fast. Now, my fave is This Door Swings Both Ways, and my mum is all over It's a Kind of Hush.
Peter Noone sounds exactly the same these days too. He's got so much energy and charisma on stage.
Saw this band live, in a park, sitting on a blanket. Four bands total that day. Herman's Hermits, the Kingsman ("Louis louis"), the Turtles ("Happy Together"), and Paul Revere and the Raiders ("Indian Reservation").
I believe Herman's Hermits does a tune called "Henry the VIII I am". That is my favorite tune by them. Their biggest tune was probably "There's a kind of Hush"
This song, written by Carole King and Jerry Goffin, was first done by Earl-Jean, a former member of the girl group the Cookies, in 1964. The Cookies had a few hits, including "Chains," covered by the Beatles, and "Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby"
My favorites from them were 'Mrs. Brown, You Have a Lovely Daughter' and 'Henry the 8th.' They were very popular!
I love Peter Noone. He's so energetic, nice, funny and a great performer. Love all their songs. Please play more!!!
Peter (lead singer) was actually blond. They wanted him to dye his hair darker due to the "Beetle Invasion" and all of the other English groups. I haven't heard this song for a long time. Thanks, made me smile!
Silhouettes on the Shades…Henry the Eighth..Mrs Brown,You’ve Got a Lively Daughter…so many great ones. He had an innocence about him!
I wish they made music like this now.
I know, right? Recording artists had great voices and were musicians.
Both are very optional these days.
It's Peter Blair Denis Bernard Noone to be exact. I've always loved Herman's Hermits and this song especially brings back a childhood memory. My father was refinishing our basement and every night after dinner he, my mother and I would spend the evening downstairs with the AM radio station on and this was one of the songs that was out at the time.
Formed in Manchester in 1964 birth place of The Gibbs and Davy Jones of The Monkees. He was 17 when the band started his name is Peter Noone but because of his similarity to a popular tv cartoon character at the time the band became Herman’s Hermits. I actually saw them perform October 1986 in Mobile opening along with Gary Puckett and the Union Gap for the Monkees 20 th anniversary tour. You should do Mrs. Brown, Henry the Eighth, There’s a Kind of Hush,No Milk Today, Listen People. Great pop group from the British Invasion immensely talented.
I saw that tour in Jackson Mississippi lol, it was a really good show.
I believe the cartoon character was actually named "Sherman" on the "Bullwinkle" cartoon. Am I right?
@@edprzydatek8398 Sherman and Mr. Peabody
I saw peter noone & Herman Hermits in concert at the meadow lands , nj last year. Peter & the group was great, he played all the old songs & some songs from the 50&60s. You can check the them out on u tube. 😊
I believe Peter was just 15 when this song came out.
What a blast from the past! Peter Noone aka Herman was my first crush. I saw them a few years ago and it was an absolute blast. Check out a more recent live video. It looks like an octogenarian aerobics class. Beautiful stuff. Music is eternal ✌️❤️
Herman's Hermits were part of what was known as the 'British Invasion' back in 1964 along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Dave Clark Five, among others. It was quite a phenomenon but only The Beatles and The Stones proved to have staying power.
That's because the Beatles, and Stones, actually mastered their instruments. Most bands back then were barely out of the garage, and weren't allowed, by their record companies, to play on their records. Studio musicians, did the playing (even the Beach Boys) !
@@ramblerdave1339 the Wrecking Crew!
@@ChristChickAutistic And the Swampers, of Muscle Shoals.
Let's not forget The Kinks, The Moody Blues and The Hollies, all still going!
Another sweet song written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin. Amazing to think how young the band was when they recorded this (July 1964). Peter Noone was just 16. Keith Hopwood, rhythm guitar, 17. Karl Green, bass, almost 17. Barry Whitwam, drums, 18. Derek Leckenby, lead guitar, the old man, at 21.
Peter Noone is great. I have seen him in concert and have talked with him on Instagram before. He is such a nice guy who still tours all of the time!
If you like harmonies, try the Hollies "Look Through Any Window." One of their members was Graham Nash who went on to form Crosby Stills and Nash. (They had a lot of other great hits too. "Bus Stop" is a "meet cute" love story.)
Excellent suggestion. Can’t go wrong with the Hollies.
Bus Stop !!
The Hollies were great!
Yes, if you want The Hollies, here are the songs:
"Bus Stop"
"On A Carousel"
"Carrie-Anne"
"The Air That I Breathe"
"Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" (this is very different than the typical Hollies style)
"Peggy Sue Got Married" Buddy Holly & The Hollies (if you can find it. The Hollies added instruments and vocal harmonies to Buddy's original apartment recording which consisted of a vocal and acoustic guitar.)
I'm Into Something Good...was written by (then) Husband/Wife songwriting team, Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Amber mentioned she heard a Beach Boys influence, King, herself, responsible for the melody, said that she was inspired by Brian Wilson's sound. There is no "Herman", the lead singer is Peter Noone, and he is still active in entertainment in 2022, at age 74. This was another early British Invasion group, like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dave Clark 5, and the Zombies.
One of my late Grandmother's favourite tunes, I remember find it tucked in the record shelf of her radiogram and played it along some more of her record collection one quiet Saturday afternoon. It always reminds me of her. Thanks for the reaction.
I'm 68 but Peter was my teen idol for years!
His poster hung over my bed. I'm 68 now also, but a diehard Noonatic !
Watching this video first thing on a Friday morning. Perfect feel good vibes to get the day started. Nice choice Rob Squad!! :)
The songs I remember most from Herman's Hermits when I was a kid in the 60s were 'There's a Kind of Hush', 'Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter' and I'm Henry the Eighth (VIII) I Am. Another old 'group' I don't believe you've touched on yet that were really popular in the late 50s & early 60s is the Everly brothers. Their songs 'Wake Up Little Suzi', Cathy's Clown', 'All I Have to Do is Dream', and 'Til I Kissed You' just to name a few. Oh and they also did 'Love Hurts' which you covered but not by them.. you did the Nazareth version from the 70s. And speaking of Nazareth.. you really should get back to them again.. possibly their songs 'Razamanaz', 'Holy Roller', 'Shanghai'd in Shanghai', 'Broken Down Angel', 'Woke Up This Morning', 'Hair of the Dog', 'This Flight Tonight', 'Turn On Your Receiver', etc., etc. 😀
Herman's Hermits were a huge British invasion group from the mid-'60's. You might want to check out "A Must to Avoid", "No Milk Today" and "Can't You Hear my Heartbeat?" Perfect British rock!
Amber, still waiting for you to react to Scott McKenzie’s “San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)” your hippie soul will thank you. It’s the unofficial (yet official) anthem of the 60’s counter culture era ☮️🌼
My grandmother, in her late seventies at the time, loved that song, and assumed it was an old tradition, to wear flowers your hair, in S.F. 🤭
Ivanka is lucky she can fall back on Jared's family's money, she'll probably be disinherited. 🤔
Met this guy at the base club when I stationed in Germany. One of the nicest entertainers I’ve ever met.
Fun song!! Try Mason Williams “Classical Gas” from 1968!!🤘🔥
then go and watch the version by aussie guitar virtuoso, Tommy Emmanuel... it'll blow your mind... 🤯
I was in love witrh "Herman" when I was a little girl, used to dance around the lounge to this song.
A couple of friends have been touring with him for years. He's a good guy.
Now you're talking! Great group! I have loved them since the sixties and still do.
Guys these guys formed in like 63 or 64. Peter Noone the lead singer was 15 when they started up. He was already an actor at the time. The band made a few movies too. This band was part of the big British Invasion of the 60s. For more, try There's a kind of hush, or Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter, or Henry the 8th. Peter is in his 70s and still performing. I think his daughter is part of his show now too.
I've actually seen them, back in the '90's along with The Monkees, The Grass Roots and Gary Puckett And The Union Gap. Great concert, the Monkees were the headline act.
My favorite song by them is "There's A Kind Of Hush"........all over the world tonight......
🙂
I'm into Something Good was Herman's Hermits first hit in the USA.in 1964 It reached number 13 on Billboard singles charts, and went to #1 in England.
It and Just A Little Bit Better (1965) are my favorite Hermania hits. There biggest hits were remakes of Silhouettes and Can't You Hear My Heart Beat and Henry The VIII I AM, all three from 1965. Dandy (written by Ray Davies of the Kinks) was their big 1966 hit. There's a KInd of Hush from 1967 was big as well.
1965 was their peak, They outsold both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones that year,
Oops! I forgot Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter from 1965 as well!
I saw Peter Noone (Herman) in concert in Toronto in 1992, and he was still great.
"No Milk Today"--the B side to "Kind of Hush"--is the BEST of their songs. Listen to it and you will agree
Gouldman the writer has done a couple of versions of that, one recent lockdown one and one on Jools Holland from memory
No Milk Today is a stunning piece.
A very fun group from when I was a kid. I just saw them on a PBS special. They did Henry the 8th, which is really a simple song, but we sang it all the time as kids.The audience went crazy.
I actually think a lot of the 60's songs resonate with all of us because of their purity and simplicity. There is nothing complicated about this song, but the harmonies are wholesome and beautiful!
60s and wholesome? Sure. Early 60s when Camelot ended.
I love Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits! He’s still touring and doing great. Really nice guy too!
My favourite Herman's Hermits song is: My Sentimental Friend. A more meaningful lyric than some of the earlier songs.
Not one of their better known songs, unfortunately, but it was my favorite, too.
I look forward to watching y'all almost every day.....thanks for the smiles!
Great Oldie! Love It! Another group that was similar and part of the 'British Invasion' was Chad and Jeremy. More easy listening and not as much standard rock, but some really wonderful songs. Top of the list for them would be 'A Summer Song', but also 'Yesterday's Gone', and 'Willow Weep for Me'. Many other good ones too! Thanks for dipping back to this timeframe! :) PS- Also Peter & Gordon from this time.
Thank you so much for sending me down this rabbit hole. I had forgotten how many songs Herman's Hermits did that I loved. I will remember to keep revisiting them 😊
Well if you like Herman's Hermits then you have to listen to mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter and then Henry the 8th come to think of it I don't think they have a bad song
Those two were horrible
@@jhonyermo Agree. I didn't like most of what they did. Kind Of a Hush is about the only exception.
At 13 this was the first concert I went to. I screamed my way through with all the other girls. I was in love 🥰.
Rob, you mentioned Bill Haley and his comets at the beginning. You need to react to Bill Haley & his Comets - "Hot Dog, Buddy, Buddy" - from "Don't Knock The Rock" - HQ 1956"
It's a great video, and performance.
Yes! This Bill Haley video is awesome! Be sure and play the one uploaded by Carlafong69. It's definitely the best quality
Oh hell yeah., Do that one!! That's a great video for _several reasons!_ 😁
I grew up with Herman's Hermits as part of the mix...this tune, *Henry the Eighth* (my personal favorite) and *Mrs Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter* are what come to mind but there must be others...
Herman's Hermits are like comfort food, tasty and familiar...
Thanks
S.W.
'There's a Kind of Hush' is their best song, IMO.
I have not even watched the video yet and I saw your Herman’s Hermits I have loved them since I was about 10 years old and I am now 65. I got to meet Peter Noone at a concert in St. Louis Missouri decades ago
Love it. Check out Mrs. Brown, you'll enjoy that also. They had several great songs. Thanks for it all.
Breathe hands to heaven and cheap tricks the flame
Awe I love Herman's Hermits ,I was on my way home from the Cinema and some young Lads were sitting at the back of the bus and one was singing this song, turns out they had come from the local dance hall so I went there the following week, sure enough they were there and the boy singing walked me home and the rest was history this song is responsible for us getting together ..three children later ... seems so long ago now 💕..There's a kind of Hush is another great song of theirs
