Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Today another top-ten hit that's probably disappeared because the performers have a large song library.  Herman's Hermits "Leaning on a Lamp Post" hit #9 in the U.S. in 1966, part of a long string of top tenners. Here's a fun fact, the band named itself after lead singer Peter Noone's nickname Herman. The nickname evolved because Peter resembled Sherman from "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show". Sherman was shortened to Herman and the rest is history.
