YES, IT'S HERMAN doing a show with the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars. Herman and his
Hermits made such a hit in the United States, they have come back for another tour.
 Herman and his Hermits are following up a successful tour with the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars, with another tour from July 22 through August 15. The popularity of the group in America, in addition to influencing a second tour, landed them spots on three television shows. They will be on the Al Hirt Show on July 24, the Danny Kaye Show on October 13, and a TV special, "Herman's Wonderful World." Herman's place in the hearts of U.S. fans seems to be second only to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. His "Wonderful World" is still climbing the national charts, and his latest, "I'm Henry VIII, I Am", could land him on the top of the charts. "Henry VIII" is Herman's second hit to be |
forced off an album, the first being the fantastically popular "Mrs. Brown". When disc jockeys began playing the "Mrs. Brown" track off the "Introducing Herman's Hermits" album, MGM Records had absolutely no intention of releasing it as a single. However, when the requests (and in some cases demands) reached such gigantic proportions that they had no choice, "Mrs. Brown" was released and soon after became number one in the nation. Now it's happening all over again. "Henry VIII" is off the "Herman's Hermits On Tour" LP. Again, disc jockeys picked it up, requests flooded MGM, the record was released as a single, and in just two weeks it had made it within the top fifteen on all three of the national charts, and all the way up to number three on the Cash Box Top 100. This makes "Henry VIII" one of the fastest rising records of all time. No wonder Herman is touring the U.S. again - this guy is popular and you spell that with a capital "P"! |
