Yes, each such story brings on new arguments that, no matter how much we puff up our cheeks, there really hasn't been all that much musical innovation since at least 1910...
I don’t know why you would write that Henery the 8th will be the main reason this band will be remembered when they had several big hits that are still hugely popular among the kind of crowd that is interested in 60’s “period music” (i.e. The kind of music that could show up in soundtracks)
Because everybody in the 60's had those kind of big hits, and who really needs Herman's Hermits when even the Monkees were so much better at those? But Henery the 8th - that's the kind of hit that could only come from Herman's Hermits. The definitive personality song.
Thank you for that excursion into the history of "Henery the VIII"! I love learning about (nowadays) obscure origins of popular songs.
