Peter Noone is branching out on his own lately.
| Peter Noone (Herman) isn't really deserting the Hermits, of course. But he has taken to trying his wings as a solo performer. He will star in an ABC special in which he both sings and acts. The other Hermits don't begrudge Herman his outside work a bit. Instead, they are proud of him. Besides, he has no intention of giving up recording with the group, at least not for a long time to come. Like the Beatles' John Lennon, he simply wants the best of | both possible worlds. "It's on my own," Peter explains. "I have a whole future to prepare for, and sooner or later the test would be bound to come. I just felt it would be best all around if I started sooner." In short, rock and roll singing is great if you're a kid, but eventually the image has to be changed. We're sure Peter can do the job, and do it very well. |
