August 18th, 1965

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

8/18/65 – Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits conducts a radio interview with Elvis Presley in Honolulu, where Elvis is currently filming “Paradise, Hawaiian Style.”

Noone later remarked, “What I should have said was ‘My big sister and I have every one of your recordings' ... but what I said was ‘When are you coming to England?’”

Also on 8/18, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass perform for President Lyndon Johnson at The White House
