Hermans Hermits

HERMANS HERMITS. British pop group formed in Manchester in 1962. Their first hit was I'm Into Something Good" which reached No1 in the UK singles chart (and No13 in the US) in late 1964. They never topped the British charts again, but had two US No1s with Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter and I'm Henry the Eighth I Am. In the US, their records were released on the MGM label, a company which often featured musical performers they had signed to record deals in films. The Hermits appeared in several MGM movies including ; When The Boys Meet The Girls (1965) and Hold On (1966). Continued success in the US proved elusive beyond 1967, although they had as many Top Ten hits in Britain (five) in the period 1967 through to 1970 as they had had there in the years of the mid 1960s when the band were wowing American audiences. Peter Noone and Keith Hopwood left the band in 1971. Herman's Hermits reunited in 1973 to headline a successful British Invasion tour of the US culminating with a standing-room-only performance at Madison Square Garden.
