McGill: "Herman, you have I believe just cut your follow-up to the smash No. 1 I'm Into Something Good. What's the title of this one?" Herman: "Well, I don't really think I'm expected to tell anyone yet becuse it won't be out until November 13th." McGill: "Well, tell us and perhaps the fans wil put in more advance orders!" Herman: "Well, it's called Show Me Girl and it was specially written for us by Carole King and Gerry Goffin." McGill: "What do you think of the number. Will it be a hit or not?" Herman: "I don't know. I'm not one of the record buyers." McGill: "Come on surely you have an idea whether it's going to get into the charts or not?" Herman: "I'll tell you something. I think it's ten times better than I'm Into Something Good and I'm not being bigheaded. I just like it." McGill: "Will it be another No. 1?" Herman: "You're joking. Even my crystal ball can't tell me that. I hope so." McGill: "What sort of artistes do you like best?" Herman: "People like Anthony Newley and Sammy Davis Jr." McGill: "So you'd prefer to listen to a Frank Sinatra song or a Newley number than a Beatle number?" Herman: "Yes, you could say that." |
McGill: "I've said it. Now you're off to the States soon but your Hermits won't be appearing with you will they? Why is this?" Herman: "Something to do with TV and radio. I mean, that's why I'm going, because it's only a seven day effort. Actually The Hermits can't appear with me on TV because of some rules, I don't really know what it's all about." McGill: "But they will be going over with you now?" Herman: "Oh yes, they're coming over just for the holiday so to speak." McGill: "Who would you like to meet in the States?" Herman: "I'd like to meet Elvis Presley. And Sammy Davis. There are thousands of people I'd like to meet." McGill: "Any LP due out at all soon?" Herman: "well, it's taken me all afternoon to record one single. But seriously we have an album coming out at Christmas, with a bit of luck." McGill: "What will you be doing at Christmas. Celebrating your good fortune?" Herman: "No, jumping about like an idiot playing Dick Whittington." McGill: "Well, that's life." Herman: "I know. If the next record isn't a hit, I'll really be hitting the road like Dick as well." |
