He had a front-row seat as they elevated pop music into an art form, and he was present at the creation of some of the most iconic music of our times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAsher is also a talented musician in his own right, with a great ear for what was new and fresh. Once, when Paul McCartney wrote a song that John Lennon didn't think was right for the Beatles, Asher asked if he could record it. \"A World Without Love\" became a global No. 1 hit for his duo, Peter \u0026amp; Gordon. A few years later Asher was asked by Paul McCartney to help start Apple Records; the first artist Asher discovered and signed up was a young American singer-songwriter named James Taylor. Before long he would be not only managing and producing Taylor but also (having left Apple and moved to Los Angeles) working with Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond, Robin Williams, Joni Mitchell, and Cher, among others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Beatles from A to Zed \u003c\/i\u003egrows out of his popular radio program \"From Me to You\" on SiriusXM's The Beatles Channel, where he shares memories and insights about the Fab Four and their music.

And no one is a more congenial and entertaining guide to their music.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Asher\u003c\/b\u003e is a singer, musician, record producer and writer, and he is the winner of multiple Grammy Awards, including twice being named Producer of the Year.
