Once Poole had left, and after a couple of near misses, rhythm guitarist and keyboard player Alan Blakely took over leadership of the group, and Len 'Chip' Hawkes (father of 1990s hitmaker Chesney Hawkes) replaced bassist Alan Howard. They started an even more successful hit run in 1967 with Cat Stevens' “Here Comes My Baby”; “Suddenly You Love Me”, “Hello World”, and “My Little Lady”, and their number-one recording of an old Four Seasons' B-side “Silence Is Golden”. Both this last single and “Here Comes My Baby” also entered the U.S. Top Twenty. All members shared vocals, though most of the songs featured either Hawkes or drummer Dave Munden as the lead singer. Guitarist Ricky West sang lead vocal on "Silence Is Golden". Their regular hits were accompanied by frequent appearances on BBC's Top of the Pops television programme. Their songs were popular with younger music fans and parents rather than rock music fans. Altogether, without Poole the group had nine UK Top Twenty hits.
“Me and My Life” was a hit in 1970, but the group did themselves no favours when an interview in the weekly paper Melody Maker quoted them as calling the fans who had bought their earlier singles 'silly suckers'. Their album Master failed to sell well, and they had no British hits after "Hello Buddy" in 1971.
After the hits
Their music is still available on CD, and they quite often play concerts and are part of the pop-revival shows that constantly tour the UK. Their line-up changed several times from 1972 onwards, with Munden remaining the only constant member. Hawkes pursued a solo career for a while, and Blakely produced records for other acts, including the Rubettes and Mungo Jerry. In 1983 the original quartet reformed and narrowly missed the charts with their cover version of the Europop hit "Words".
As a soloist, Poole failed to chart with subsequent records, but pursued a successful cabaret career. In 1996 his daughters Karen and Shellie hit the charts as post-Alanis Morissette popsters Alisha's Attic. Blakely died from cancer in June 1996, leaving Munden and West to continue in concert with newer recruits Dave Fryar (bass) and Joe Gillingham (keyboards). In 2005 Fryar was replaced by Jeff Brown.
[edit]
The Class Of 64
In April 2004, at the request of The Animals who were about to do their 40th anniversary tour, Hawkes was asked to form a band to tour with The Animals. This he did, bringing together a true supergroup also including Mick Avory (ex-The Kinks), Eric Haydock (ex-The Hollies), who have teamed up to perform as The Class of 64, also featuring guitarists, Telecaster Ted Tomlin and Graham Pollock. The band have toured around the world, recorded an album of past band hits and a new single.
My Little Lady
The Tremeloes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A perfect little lady
I think about her shiny golden hair
I've never been a dreamer
But every time I see her
I start to float away into the air
My little lady
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
And if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give
I wake up in the morning
Without a single warning
Before I finish yawning she is there
I think about my baby
A perfect little lady
I think about her shiny golden hair
Oh, oh, oh
My little lady
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
And if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give
You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
And if you could have your way every day would be fine
It's no wonder for as long as I may live
I will give you all the love I am able to give

One of the top bands. Infectious music.
Graham Ashdown
Another brilliant band from the 60s,The Tremeloes music was excellent and they always looked so happy when they were playing,
unlike some of the miserable so called singers of today.
This is a great song from 1969,it’s so catchy,you can’t help but tap your feet to it.
Excellent.

They looked like they were always happy when they were performing. Wish more of the younger artists today were like this.
Luke Hauser
Wait a minute - you prefer these phonies? These guys are paid to look that way as they lip synch - is that really what we want? So much good music today - go find it!
Tom C
@Luke Hauser What is phony? Obviously, they could sing in harmony and play their instruments. They had done it since the early sixties, and there are many live performances to proof it. I rather listen to these guys than the trash today.
Harrisonianne
@Luke Hauser bahahhaa😂 phonies? OMG that's genuine happiness for making music, todays artists are phonies, the ones whose make it for the money
