BEATLES Writing . . . . . . . from April 25 1965
Peter And Gordon reach #1 on the UK Pop chart with "A World without Love", a song given to them by Paul McCartney because he didn't think it was good enough for The Beatles to record. The song would also top the Cashbox Best Sellers list and the Billboard Hot 100 in June.
this is fun . . . . . . .clever too! Peter n Gordon? Meh? Peter was of course Peter Asher (Jane’;s older brother) and went on to be a serious producer of bands in his own write . . . . . . . (right?!) someone should write a book called that!? For me a curiously depressing number, almost serially suicidal in theme, if I can’t have the love I seek then I don’t want to live in this world without it (her?) But that’s just me!It was quite the hit and poppy melody for sure . . . . . maybe see the name checks of covers of Beatles songs including World Without Love even done by Honor Blackman! (Pussy Galore!)
then these mentioned in order are The Rolling Stones, Ella Fitzgerald, Anthony Newley, Russ Conway, Pinky and Perky(!), Honor Blackman ( World Without Love!) finally Peter and Gordon themselves
