I've been reading this book about George Gershwin, and a few chapters ago, I read that Gershwin met Herbert Howells in the early 1920s. Both Gershwin & Howells influenced the Zombies' music (the Zombies covered Gershwin's "Summertime," and Rod Argent took part of the chord progression from Howells' "Nunc Dimittus" for "She's Coming Home"), so it's cool to know that they'd met each other.
