Happy new week! It’s a nice day here, although it’s supposed to get HOT by the middle of the week. Well, it’s June and summer’s almost here, so what else can it do??
After the detour to the country charts yesterday we’re back on the top 40 with the debut single from a great act. Here’s today’s song that’s now 60 years old.
I’m Into Something Good - Herman’s Hermits
The Kentucky State Fair concert lineup was released last week, and the “Happy Together” oldies tour will be there again, which features Peter Noonan, the lead singer of Herman’s Hermits.
Flo & Eddie, a/k/a the Turtles, are the MC/headliners.
Will you look who wrote this? Gerry Goffin penned the lyrics and Carole King put the music down, so you know you’re “into something good” when you see those two! This was the debut single for Herman’s Hermits, fresh on the heels of Beatlemania and the British Invasion.
It wasn’t their last: they’d go on to give us classics like “A Must to Avoid” (which, as a kid, I thought was “She’s a muscular boy”
), “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “A Kind of Hush,” and “I’m Henry the 8th, I Am.”
Good, fun music!
I’m Into Something Good
Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin
Recorded by Herman’s Hermits
From Herman’s Hermits, 1964
I walked her home and she held my hand:

I saw the Turtles Happy Together Tour a few years ago. Fun nostalgic music! No Hermit back then, but good music memories with Spencer Davis, The Cowsills, and Gary Puckett.
Great pick! Some great tunes came across the pond with the British Invasion. ![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

You bet! A number of them only lasted a couple of songs, but the cream rises to the top, and that’s why we still enjoy Herman’s Hermits today!

Carole is a great song writer, and musician. She's one of my favorites. I never knew she composed the music for the song I'm Into Something Good. The song is lively and catchy. It's an all around feel good song that fills one's heart with joy.
