Peter & Gordon

Peter & Gordon were a British Invasion-era performing duo, formed by Peter Asher and Gordon Waller, that rocketed to fame in 1964 with "A World Without Love". Peter Asher's sister (the actress Jane Asher) was dating Paul McCartney (of the Beatles), and so Peter & Gordon recorded several songs written by McCartney, with or without John Lennon. Hits included "Nobody I Know", "True Love Ways" (Buddy Holly), "Woman", "I Go To Pieces" (Del Shannon), and "I Don't Want To See You Again". Their last hit was "Lady Godiva".
Asher has continued his career as a recording executive in California and has managed and produced Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Cher and more.
