Isn't this totally cool - a letter from Peter Noone posted on today's KPS... Dear Bob, Loved your piece about Dandy! I am especially pleased because not only is Dandy a forgotten song, but even my friends hadn't noticed its brilliance. Ray did "Well he gets up in the morning". I did "Woke Up this morning". We are still alive and the kids are still alright! Jonathon Wolfson sent me the piece and so did hundreds of well respected people in the music biz. Thank you!!!!! PS I subscribed because you are a genius! -- Peter Noone Herman peternoone.comhermanshermits.com |

Lulu & Peter Noone Guest Coach American Idol 6 - Top 11
Posted on March 17, 2007 by Couch Potato
Filed under: Reality TV, American Idol, FOX
Legendary British artists Lulu and Peter Noone will work with the Top 11 finalists next week on AMERICAN IDOL Tuesday, March 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), and both will perform on the AMERICAN IDOL results show Wednesday, March 21 (9:00-9:30 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. On Tuesday night, the contestants will sing hit songs from the 1960s British pop invasion.
Lulu will perform her hit song To Sir, with Love on Wednesdays results show. She is a songwriter, actor and television personality who has been successful in the entertainment business since the 1960s. In 1981, Lulu returned to the U.S. charts with “I Could Never Miss You (More Than I Do),” a Top-20 hit that also reached No. 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Lulu re-recorded a number of her songs, including “Shout,” which reached the Top 10 in 1986 in the UK, securing her a performance spot on the popular BBC music program Top of the Pops. Lulu made her debut as a film actress in “To Sir, with Love,” a film with Sidney Poitier. She also had a major hit with the title song “To Sir, with Love,” which shot to No. 1 in the United States. Her 2003 autobiography is called Don’t Wanna Fight No More after a hit song she and her brother wrote for Tina Turner. Lulu herself released the song in 2003, along with her Greatest Hits album. Lulu is in her fourth decade as an international star and recently released an album of duets with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, Sir Elton John and Bobby Womack.
Noone will perform his hit Theres a Kind of Hush on the results show. Noone is a songwriter, guitarist, pianist and actor who became a pop music star in the 1960s, at the height of the British Invasion spearheaded by the phenomenal success of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Hermans Hermits. Noone was lead singer, spokesperson and front man of the now-legendary 1960s rock group Herman’s Hermits, which sold over 65 million records and had 11 Top-10 hits. As “Herman,” the photogenic Noone graced the cover of nearly every international publication, including TIME magazine. More recently, he was the host of VH1’s My Generation from 1989 to 1993, and in 2001 he was voted VH1’s Sexiest Artist. Noone has appeared in two Broadway hits, including The Pirates of Penzance, and still does approximately 150 live concerts a year.

Saw Peter Noone and The Hermits at an outdoor venue a couple of years ago and they were very good.

In the late '80's - early '90's, The Florescent Leech and Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) of the Turtles would host a series of Happy Together tours, each of which were made up of about 5 top 40 bands from the post-Beatles '60's scene. I was luckly to see several of them at the Jones Beach Theatre on Long Island. Groups that participated included The Turtles (of course!), Herman's Hermits (with Peter Noone), Tommy James and the Shondells, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, The Boxtops, the Beau Brummels, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap and many more that I just can't recall at this moment (it sucks getting old).
