DESCRIPTION: "There's a Kind of Hush" is a popular song written by Les Reed and Geoff Stephens which was a hit in 1967 for Herman's Hermits and again in 1976 for the Carpenters. The Carpenters remade "There's a Kind of Hush" - as "There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)" - for their 1976 album release A Kind of Hush for which it served as lead single, reaching #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and affording the Carpenters' their thirteenth #1 on the easy listening chart
