Peter & Jeremy: Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon) And Jeremy Clyde (Chad & Jeremy) Talk About The British Invasion Era, Paul McCartney, George Martin, And We Do Two Songfests. A Smashing Episode!
Episode 154
Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon) and Jeremy Clyde (Chad & Jeremy) were the softer counterparts to the hard rock beat groups of the British Invasion era of the 1960s.
Peter & Gordon had massive hits with songs like “A World Without Love” and “I Go To Pieces”. Peter went on to have an illustrious career in the music business, first as the head of A&R for Apple Records where he signed a then-unknown James Taylor, then as producer for many artists including Linda Ronstadt, and currently as the host of “From Me To You”, a weekly Beatles show on Sirius/XM.
Jeremy was half of Chad & Jeremy and had several big hits including “Yesterday’s Gone” and “A Summer Song”. He recently was a guest on this podcast. Peter and Jeremy tour together these days.
We do two Songfests - one where we select and discuss several favorite British Invasion era songs by other artists that were One Hit Wonders or off the beaten path. And the other where we play and discuss a few of Peter & Gordon’s hits plus a Peter and Jeremy song.
My featured song is “This Time” from my new album, “Bobby M and the Paisley Parade”. Spotify link
