| 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 and so Peter & Gordon recorded several hit songs written by McCartney. Those hits included "Nobody I Know," "I Don't Want To See You Again" and "Woman." Other hits for the group included "I Go To Pieces" which was written by Del Shannon and given to the duo after the two acts toured together, and remakes of "True Love Ways" by Buddy Holly and "To Know Him Is To Love Him" by the Teddy Bears, retitiled "To Know You Is To Love You." Peter & Gordon had their last hits in 1967 with "Lady Godiva" "Knight In Rusty Armour" and "Sunday for Tea". Asher has continued his career as a recording executive in California and has managed and produced Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Cher, 10,000 Maniacs and more. In August 2005, Peter and Gordon reunited onstage for the first time in over 30 years, as part of a tribute concert to Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five in New York City. This was followed by more complete concerts at Beatle fan conventions beginning the following year. Paul McCartney heard about the reunion shows, and sent a message to them congratulating them for deciding to reunite. |
