When you think of British boy bands from the ’60s, The Beatles might be the first that come to mind. However, there were plenty of other incredible bands from that era as well. One standout group is featured in the video below: Herman’s Hermits, formed in 1962 in Manchester. Known for their catchy tunes, this band quickly won fans worldwide—and they’re still active today!
The video below showcases one of their most popular songs, “I’m Henry VIII, I Am.” It’s quirky and undeniably fun! Originally a 1910 British music hall song by Fred Murray and R. P. Weston, it was popularized by music hall star Harry Champion.
When Herman’s Hermits released their cover in 1965, it became the fastest-selling song in history at the time and secured their second #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
