History

Herman's Hermits are an English pop rock band formed in 1963 in Manchester, fronted by singer Peter Noone, who was just 15 and already an actor on the soap opera Coronation Street when the group came together. The band took its name from a Manchester publican's remark that Noone resembled Sherman from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, shortened to Herman. Alongside Noone, the classic lineup featured Keith Hopwood (rhythm guitar), Karl Green, Derek Leckenby (lead guitar) and Barry Whitwam (drums). Working with producer Mickie Most, the band became one of the most commercially successful acts of the British Invasion, with hits including "I'm into Something Good" (their only UK number one), "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", "I'm Henry VIII, I Am", "Silhouettes", "Wonderful World" and "There's a Kind of Hush". Between March and August 1965 they spent twenty-four consecutive weeks in the US Top Ten across five singles, including two number ones. They logged at least ten Top-10 hits in both Britain and the US and appeared in four films.
