ADOPTING a similar format to their first smash hit - with Herman taking the solo, and the Hermits chanting at the end of each phrase - the Manchester group again chooses a Goffin-King composition "Show Me Girl" (Columbia). Set to a jog-trotting, happy-go-lucky, bouncy beat, it's catchy with a cheerful sound, and a pleasant vocal blend from the boys. Only drawback is that the material itself is basically not so strong as their recent chart-topper. A hit, yes - but not another No. 1. Herman appealingly handles the lyric of medium shaker "I Know Why," with subdued background harmonies. A fairly ordinary song, though. |
SANDIE SHAW, Herman's Hermits, Petula Clark and Julie Rogers are set for appearances on ABC-TV's "Thank Your Lucky Stars." Dionne Warwick and the Isley Brothers have been booked for return spots. |
