"Sunshine Girl" by Herman's Hermits

Formed in Manchester in 1963, Herman's Hermits had a stellar career as part of the British Invasion that decade. Right place, right time, but also the right songs. A long string of hits has made this band the 165th most successful of all-time, and the 26th most successful artist of the 60s. In addition to 9 other top 10 hits, they scored two #1 songs: "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am," both in 1965.

While Herman's Hermits quickly rose to fame, they also quickly faded away. By the end of the decade, they struggled to stay on the charts, a streak that ended in 1968 when "Sleepy Joe" topped out at #61.

"Sunshine Girl" was released and 1968 but failed to chart. It's a terrific pop song but I guess the world had had enough of Herman's Hermits by then. Vocalist Peter Noone would move on with a solo career, but he didn't score any charting singles.
