Herman's Hermits are an English beat (or pop) band, formed in Manchester in 1962.Their first hit was a cover of Earl-Jean's "I'm into Something Good" (written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King), which reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart and No. 13 in the US in late 1964. They never topped the British charts again, but had two US Billboard Hot 100 No.1s with "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am". These songs were aimed at a US fan base, with Peter Noone exaggerating his Mancunian accent.Herman's Hermits had four Top 3 hits in the US in 1965, "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Silhouettes",Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World", "Just a Little Bit Better" and "A Must to Avoid", in 1965; "Listen People", George Formby's "Leaning on a Lamp Post" from Me and My Girl, and the Ray Davies song "Dandy" in 1966; and "There's a Kind of Hush" in 1967.
