It. Seems. This. Era. Was. So. Much. Better. Transistor radios. Riding. Our. Bikes. Listening. To. This. Slumber. Parties. So. Good. To. Have. Such. Great. Memories. This. Is. A. Scrapbook. Of. Fabulous. Times Thankyou!!!!!
I HOPE EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER THAT PAUL MCCARTNEY WROTE THIS SONG FOR THE DUO UNDER THE PEN NAME "WEBB" TO SHOW HIS SONGS CAN STAND ON ITS OWN WITHOUT THE "LENNON/MCCARTNEY" LABEL. ALTHOUGH "WOMAN" IS A BEAUTIFUL MCCARTNEY/LENNON SONG, IT DID NOT REACH THE POPULARITY OF THE OTHER THREE MCCARTNEY/LENNON SONGS THAT CAME BEFORE: "WORLD WITHOUT LOVE", NOBODY I KNOW", and "I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN" WHICH MADE PETER & GORDON BIG STARS. PETER WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO BE THE BROTHER OF PAUL MCCARTNEY'S GIRL FRIEND, JANE ASHER. WHAT A GENEROUS GIFT! ~DR. WILLIAM CRATTY, MUSIC PROFESSOR
This is just so Fabulous! The sixties we're so good. I love the classical pop music back then ❤️ Miss so much the greats that have passed on.😢 RIP....... Gordon.😥🎶💜
Yeah that Vietnam War Monument in D.C. just begins to show the truth of that worthless mess we got into with our so called advising in late 1959. 100% we have never been in that civil war, but changes nothing.😥 So many died for lies.
They were wonderful remember Knight in Rusty Armour one of my favorites of theirs thanks for the compilation much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2023
I used to listen to my youngest sisters 45's while she was in Junior High School 9th grade. I was 7 in 1969 and just fell in love with 1960's music. It touched my life and soul for eternity and it still makes me feel young at age 60 and is my Fountain of Youth . My escape from the World's troubles, threats of Nuclear War etc.
Thank you so much for sharing the Music of the Peter &Gordon. I lived and loved the music then, including the British Invasion. Truly enjoying this video. Very grateful. God bless you. 🇺🇲
Love their music! Met Gordan when they opened up for the Beach Boys in Portland,Oregon in the late 60s. Very nice person even tho I interrupted him ironing his pants LOL!!
Peter and Gordon were in my sister s era of music as I was 7 yrs younger than she is and I love them even as far back as 1963 1964 when I was 7 and 8 yrs old !! The songs are all so pretty !!
I met Peter after a show at the sportsman's in Buffalo,NY,very nice fellow,he really didn't need to tour,already being a millionaire from his other ventures,but what was cool was that he had Gordon on the screen with him singing the songs,really classic and tasteful
@@ktcarl the night that was on the air live my dad and brother John had six radios and three TV’s hockey games and I changed the channel to the Beatles live and got reamed and missed most of it
Not true. Paul wrote a number of his best Beatles songs for Jane (see my comment above), but not "Woman". Paul wrote a numerous hits for Peter and Gordon, but critics had claimed the songs sold due to Paul's fame as a Beatle. So he wrote "Woman" as an experiment to test if he could still write a hit song if it was credited to an unknown writer. He published this song under the pseudonym "Bernard Webb." He needn't have worried. Peter and Gordon had a #1 hit in Canada, a top 20 hit on US Billboard and Cashbox, and the song reached #28 in the U.K.@@amandabell935
'Leave Me Alone' is such a great song... took me a while to find out it was written by Gordon Waller. Should have been released as a single, would have been a monster hit.
"Leave Me Alone" reminds me of a Beatles song that George wrote - "Don't Bother Me." Especially because George's chorus includes the other title: "Don't come around / Leave me alone / Don't bother me." Fred
Thank you for posting this compilation. It's the best I've found (especially with video). I don't know why these guys didn't get more air time back then and are almost forgotten now.
I love this version of the song. It features Vic Flick playing rythm guitar using a Tempest Vox XII 12 string electric guitar. The twangy guitar in the background. Some musicians use a Richenbacker 12 string as a substitute.
Hi carlos wow someone knows who Vic Flick is excellent info I didnt know this mind you he has played on nearly every English 60's band, Tempest Vox XII 12 that would be great to find
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video by my favorite British pop duo who I got to see and hear in person when they toured wiith The Dick Clark Caravan Of Stars on 7-165 at Salina , Kansas's Memorial Hall. I got to meet the late Gordon Waller in Dallas , Texas on 10-28-00 & let me tell you all he was a gentleman & a real sweetheart RIP Gordon. Luvey1950
I was born in 1983, this song was popular in 1964 and now its 2023 and I still listen to this song..I'm obsessed, is there something wrong with me 😅???
"World Without Love" was written by Paul McCartney when he was 16 YO. Five years later, when he was 21 and dating Peter's sister Jane Asher, he gave the song to her brother to record. Jane was 17 when they met and broke up due to Paul's infidelity five years later. She was an accomplished actress who went on to be a novelist. Songs that Paul wrote for Jane include "For No One" (Revolver), "And I Love Her" (Hard Days Night), "I'm Looking Through You" (Rubber Soul), and "You Won't See Me" (Rubber Soul).
@@thomaspick4123 Chad and Jeremy had 2 good songs called the Summer Song and Yesterday's gone. That is about it. I think Peter and Gordon are far better.
@@Galantski Well maybe you think that. But Paul McCartney did not write I go to pieces or Lady Godiva. And those were bigger hits than the song Woman. Also by the time anyone knew Paul McCartney wrote their songs they did they were already hits. So Tom, Dick and Harry could have wrote them and they still would have been a hit. It did not take Paul McCartney writing any of their songs for them to become a hit. They were a hit before anyone knew Paul wrote them. But hey it is what it is.
Peter Asher's sister Jane married George Harrison, so subsequently some of The Beatles songs were written and sung by both P &G as well. One was "How do you do what you do to me?" John liked that one.
Great recordings! Pretty cheesy lip-syncing, though, with instrumental sounds that obviously aren't coming from their instruments. Still, they were one of my favorite-sounding groups of the 60's. They did a few Beatles covers, not surprising since Peter's sister was Paul McCartney's gf for a while. One of those covers is the 1st of these 6 - "World Without Love." Another one I recall was a song the Beatles wrote but never recorded - "Nobody I Know." My favorite of theirs, for sentimental reasons. Fred
