He Wouldn’t Stay in a World Without Love

Gordon Waller, half the British Invasion duo that rode the charts while Paul McCartney was riding his partner’s sister, has died of a heart attack at the age of 64. Together with Peter Asher, Waller formed the creatively titled Peter and Gordon. With such a flair for words, the duo was dependent on siphoning off Paul McCartney’s cast-off songs, which he provided as he was dating Asher’s sister, and scored a string of hits in the UK and U.S., most notably “A World Without Love.”
