Song 795: This week the playlist comes around to A World Without Love by Peter and Gordon, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. The P & G duo that appeared in early 1964 played a role in expanding the British Invasion and their sound similarity to the Fab Four came at least in part from their identical authors. My parents and grandparents did not approve of the devil's music so during the colder months I would sometimes try to listen to a transistor radio in my home's basement. The family did regularly watch the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday night, so it's possible that I could have seen the duo there, though I don't remember if that happened. As usual, in April of that year I did get to hear the birds sing, although I don't know if they ever did so out of tune. I also saw the rain clouds sometimes hide the moon, and in addition, I strongly hoped that I would someday see my true love smile - at the time, I looked forward to that.
