Biography

Herman's Hermits were hugely successful in the mid-1960s. Their first hit was "I'm Into Something Good", which reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 13 in the US in 1964. They never topped the British charts again, but had two US No. 1's with "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am". The band disliked both songs, and never released them as singles in Britain, although Mrs. Brown featured excellent rhythm guitar by Hopwood, and Henry featured an excellent guitar solo by Leckenby. (Peter Noone Interview) They appeared in several movies, including When The Boys Meet The Girls (1965) and Hold On! (1966). They appeared on the The Ed Sullivan Show, The Dean Martin Show and The Jackie Gleason Show.
