Hermann's Hermits with the original version of There's a kind of Hush...

[Steerpike]

Riding in my jeep listening to Karen Carpenter sing this and loving it...then it hit me...I really love the original version, but had completely forgotten it even existed...Peter Noone has the voice for pop

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. He's still an incredible showman too

[Freddie]

2. Had a crush on him when I was 8

He was so young (17 or 18) when the Hermits had all their big hits. Still tours.

[Steerpike]

6. Yes...

Just kids really...yet so sophisticated musically...

[Lindsay]

3. I saw Herman's Hermits

on tour, probably 1965.

The opening act: The Who.

[Iggo]

4. That's the definitive version.

Karen Carpenter is perfect and I love everything she's done, but I like this better.

That slightly flattened note and ever so slight crack of the voice at "...and nobody else..." really sends me.

[MuseRider]

5. Ahhhh

I rarely hear that song but when I think of it I youtube it. It is pretty and wonderful and really leaves you feeling good. Maybe this is one of those times. I think I will hook it up for my barn cleaning routine. Thanks for the reminder of this beautiful tune.

Jr. High School. My brother was the big HH fan but I loved them as well.
