Aged 21 in 1963, Harvey Lisberg wanted to be the next Brian Epstein and ended up managing Herman’s Hermits and 10cc, among others, before relaunching the snooker stars Jimmy White and Hurricane Higgins. We thoroughly recommend his just-published memoir ‘I’m Into Something Good’ and this wide-ranging encounter takes in …
... the unique division of labour in 10cc and the magnificently doomed invention of ‘the Gizmo’.
… the perils of $100,000’s credit in Las Vegas casinos.
… life for the wives of rock stars “in love with music”.
… his friendship with Colonel Tom Parker and a day spent with Elvis in Honolulu.
… a prickly relationship with Mickie Most.
… why America fell in love with Peter Noone.
… Herman’s Hermits’ US tours with the Stones and the Who.
… and how he changed the snooker world by remodelling the “Artful Dodger” Jimmy White.
