PETER AND GORDON ![]()
Waylon Jennings wound up producing the fourth and most successful single by Phil and the Frantics, “I Must Run” b/w “Pain”; he also played 12-string guitar on the recording. (A later release of the 45 had a different flip side, “What’s Happening”). In the wake of its success, Phil and the Frantics toured for a time with Peter and Gordon and others. (August 2012) * * * After a few albums of (more or less) pure country, Linda Ronstadt perfected her sound when she connected with one of the top producers of the 1970’s, Peter Asher; he was also Ronstadt’s manager for several years. Peter Asher and Gordon Waller performed as Peter and Gordon, a British duo who enjoyed several years of success, particularly with their #1 hit in 1964, “A World Without Love”. The song was written by Paul McCartney but credited as Lennon/McCartney as was all of his music and that of John Lennon in the British Invasion period.
