In June 1964, Peter and Gordon became the first British Invasion act after The Beatles to reach the number one spot on the American charts with A World Without Love...

Del Shannon ran out of time at a studio session and didn't get a chance to record the song. He demoed it to The Searchers but they weren't interested. Peter Asher and Gordon Waller happened to overhear Del singing and asked if they could record the song. I Go To Pieces went to #9 on the US charts...

Del Shannon recorded his song the following year with a similar arrangement...

I've always loved this song. It was Peter and Gordon's fourth released single. Their first three were written by Paul McCartney...

Yes. Thank-you for that song, Mr. Shannon...

It brings back memories of someone I feel the same way about today as I did years ago.

She'll never know.

Live on Hullabaloo - 11 April 1966

Paul was just 23 years old when he wrote this song.

Sadly, we lost Gordon Waller in 2009 and Chad Stuart in 2020, but Peter Asher and Jeremy Clyde teamed up to form Peter and Jeremy so we can enjoy their fine songs from the 1960s...

Yes, Kathy. I have a theory why Kevin dislikes Mr. Moonlight so. You see he's originally from Great Britain and moved to Australia later on. Now he's upside down and just not thinking well at all!

Doesn't the blood rush to your head, sir?

John was able to diagnose the symptoms even then. :)

You'll be okay, Kev, if you stand on your head. Then you'll be right side up. ;D
