Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter - Herman's Hermits (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter (Herman's Hermits, 1965). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2021-11-24. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" was Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits 4th USA release and their first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965, spending three weeks at the top position (Whitburn, 2013). The song was written by Trevor Peacock and was first sung by Tom Courtenay in the 1963 British TV play "The Lads," which is where Peter Noone heard the song; interestingly, the song was never released as a single in Noone's home country (songfacts.com, 2021). Noone was only 16 year old when the song hit the #1 position (songfacts.com, 2021). In 1968, the song led to a movie of the same name in which Peter Noone and the rest of the Hermits performed and acted; the movie also featured another of HH's hits, "There's a Kind of Hush" (imdb.com, 2021). In the movie, Mrs. Brown is actually "a greyhound inherited from [Peter Noone's character's] now-deceased grandfather," which the Hermits are trying to enter into a dog race (imdb.com, 2021).
