Herman's Hermits was an internationally successful 60s British rock band, from Manchester, England, formed in 1963. Part of the British Invasion, their trademark simple, non-threatening, clean-cut "boys next door" image made them easier to listen to and more accessible than other British Invasion bands. Their first hit, "I'm Into Something Good", was produced by Mickie Most, reaching #1 in the UK (1963) and #13 in the US (1964).
A self-taught musician, primarily a keyboard player, Alan Price was a founding member of the Tyneside group The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, then renamed The Animals. His playing on their international hit "House of the Rising Sun" and other tracks was a key element in the Animals' success. His arrangement of "House of the Rising Sun," a traditional folk song, has become more recognisable than previous incarnations.
The first two albums, 'the Human Menagerie' and 'The Psychomodo', were released under the name 'Cockney Rebel'. The original line-up split after the second album, due to contractual and 'personal' reasons. During their last tour, most of the band had to perform as session musicians. Steve Harley reformed the band at the end of 1974, releasing 'The Best Years Of Our Lives' album under the name 'Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel', with the original drummer Stuart Elliot.
