Peter and Gordon were a British pop duo, comprising Peter Asher and Gordon Waller, who achieved international fame in the 1960s. Their partnership began in 1963 when they started to perform together as part of the burgeoning British pop scene, riding the wave of what would become known as the British Invasion. They first caught the public's attention with their debut single "A World Without Love," a song penned by Paul McCartney of The Beatles, who at the time was dating Peter's sister, Jane Asher. The single quickly soared up the charts, hitting the number one spot in both the UK and the US in 1964.

The duo's smooth harmonies and pop sensibility resulted in a string of hits, including "I Go to Pieces," "Lady Godiva," "I Don't Want To See You Again," and "Nobody I Know," solidifying their place in the pop pantheon. Although they were most successful during the mid-60s, Peter and Gordon's music was re-released and remastered on various occasions in subsequent years - such as on their albums "Hot Cold & Custard (Expanded Edition)" and the retrospective collections like "The Ultimate Peter And Gordon" featuring both studio recordings and live performances, including those from their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Despite their eventual parting in 1968 to pursue solo careers, the music they created together continues to resonate with fans of the classic '60s pop sound.
