With all these records flying about, even Herman could be forgiven for getting a youth must be served little confused.

MRS. BROWN TRACK. "Introducing with the tooth"-is only 17, have themselves Herman's Hermits", came out here a little a smash and another on the way more than a month ago. Already in the top hundred, just last week a flush of radio stations all over the country, decided to lay on "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" and use it as a single track on their station playlists. MGM is now faced with the dilemma of whether or not this track should be issued as the group's new single. At presstime there had been no definite decision, but it would seem like a good idea. Getting back to the group, Herman's Hermits present line up has been together about six months. They were called the Heartbeats and playing the local Man- chester, England, scene, when Herman joined them, and had a pretty big following even then. Herman's name is derived from a British TV series called "The Buliwinkle Show". In it, there's a character called Sherman, who bears a strange resemblance to Peter Noone. The Heartbeats mistook the name, called their new lead singer Herman, and changed their name to the Hermits. Their record producer is Mickie Most, who signed them after having travelled North especially to watch one of their concerts. The rest of the group comprises Herman and the Hermits in New York with deejay Murray The "K" Karl Green (bass guitar), Derek Leckenby (lead and rhythm guitar), Barry Whit - IT JUST FIT.

There was a slight pause which the bubbling brunette broke with, "Oh . . . am I too outspoken?," followed by very genuine laughter. Who could argue? Out- going seemed a more appropriate word. Lainie is no newcomer to the business. While still attending college she worked evenings as a featured performer in the off-Broadwayrevivalof"Leaveitto Jane." Her first Broadway assignment came with "Happiest Girl in the World," after which she had the feature role of the Contessa in the short-lived Broadway musical "Bravo Giovanni." "My first am- bition was to be an actress," she confided, "and it still sort of is. But you have to study everything-dancing,singing,you know, the works. And people kept hiring me as a singer. I hate arguments, so I sang." RECORDS AND CLUBS. For the time being, Lainie's career is concentrated on her singing. She's just recorded her first singlefor Colpix-"Ouzo" backed with "The Color of Love." And she's preparing her club act with the aid of arranger Peter Daniels. She isalready set with dates at the Hungry iin San Francisco, Mr. Kelley's in Chicago, and next fall, she opens at Basin St. East in Manhattan. "I had the hardest time adjusting to recording, atfirst.I'd never been in a studio, and when they plopped me in a booth and put the earphones on me I feltI was in solitary confinement.
