Herman's Hermits and The Association

The Association, formed in 1965, blended pop sounds with touches of psychedelia. Known for hits like "Along Comes Mary," "Cherish," and "Windy," they gained fame with smooth harmonies and polished performances, often collaborating with top producers and musicians.

Herman's Hermits, formed in Manchester in 1963, gained massive popularity in the '60s with hits like "I'm Into Something Good" and "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter." Fronted by Peter Noone, they featured session musicians like Jimmy Page in their recordings. Though initially overshadowed, they became respected for their catchy pop/rock tunes, distinguishing them from contemporaries. They worked with producer Mickie Most and scored 20 Top 40 hits between the UK and US. Known for their clean-cut image, they remain a nostalgic emblem of the British Invasion.
