Linda Ronstadt

In addition to being a singer, manager, and former record executive (for the Beatles, no less), Peter Asher is a record producer with a long line of hit singles and albums for the likes of Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Cher, Olivia Newton-John, and 10,000 Maniacs, to name a few.

Every musical artist needs a good producer in order to bring out the best in their work, and there’s little question that Linda Ronstadt found exactly that in Peter Asher. Although he found fame as a musical artist in his own right while teamed with Gordon Waller – yes, that’s right: he was the “Peter” in “Peter & Gordon” – Asher found even greater success after shifting his focus to working behind the scenes as a producer.
