| Mickie Most: I had this Goffin
and King tune, "I'm Into Something Good," which was really catchy,
and I really thought it needed somebody youthful-looking.... Herman's
Hermits' management had called me many times and asked me to take a look
at them, so I said, "Send me a photograph," and as soon as I
saw the photo I envisaged Peter Noone as a young [President] Kennedy.
I quickly went up to Bolton, where the band was playing, and they were
doing all of the pop R&B stuff such as "Mother in Law,"
"Poison Ivy," and so on. I'd brought "I'm into Something
Good" with me and they fitted it really well, so I told them to learn
the song by Sunday and we would record it then. That's basically what
happened and it was as simple as that. (Buskin 2003) |
