There's a Kind of Crush! Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits -
TODAY LIVE! 7 PM PT
A child of the 60s, Peter Noone, graced the cover of more of my 16 Magazines than I could count. Beyond adorable then, still so now, meeting Peter recently at his fantastically fun, entertaining, and musically sensational show at The Canyon Club in April was a thrill I’ve waited many decades to realize. A huge Herman’s Hermits fan, “I’m Into Something Good,” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” and “There’s A Kind of Hush,” are all part of the fabric of my youth… and boy do they hold up. Hearing them now thrills me as much, if not more, than it did then. And Peter delivers them with the same adorable charm and keen musicianship. What a singer! What an entertainer.
As massive as Herman’s Hermits is and was, there’s so much more to Peter. As a child, he played “Stanley Fairclough” in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street. He was also featured in the television series Knight Errant, Family Solicitor, and Monro’s Saki Stories. Peter performed on hundreds of top-rated television programs and appeared with Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin, and Danny Kaye. He also starred in ABC’s musical version of The Canterville Ghost, Hallmark Hall of Fame’s Pinocchio (in which he played the title role), and three feature films for M-G-M: Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter, Hold On!, and When The Boys Meet The Girls.
Throughout the seventies, Noone performed, composed songs, and produced recordings with such artists as David Bowie, Debby Boone, and Graham Gouldman. His album with the Tremblers, “Twice Nightly,” and his solo effort, “One of the Glory Boys,” were both critically and commercially successful.
Peter starred on Broadway in the New York Shakespeare Festival’s production of The Pirates of Penzance as the dashing, young hero, Frederic. He went on to reprise the role at the Drury Lane Theatre in London. Peter continued to play Frederic with both the U.S. National Touring Company and the International Touring Company of Pirates.
Accompanied by his band, Herman’s Hermits, Peter consistently plays to sold-out venues the world over. He has a legion of faithful fans, known as Noonatics. Today’s teen girls scream just as passionately as their mothers did back in 1965, prompting VH1 to select Peter as their viewers’ choice for the Sexiest Artist of the Year. Most recently, Peter starred in the recurring role of Paddington on As the World Turns. Added to all of that, Peter is a funny, humble, sweet, kind, lovely gent. The proof is in this pudding. Despite constantly touring, just returning home last night before readying to jet off again, he’s making time for us. I’m in awe and can’t wait for us to spend some quality time with him!
