My Take
Peter Asher is one of my favorite kinds of music figures: the one who shines by making others shine. He started out singing in Peter and Gordon, but his real legacy is as the producer and manager who helped launch James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt. Stepping back from the microphone to cultivate other people's talent takes generosity and a producer's ear that few possess, and his CBE recognizes a lifetime of it. I'm endlessly drawn to these behind-the-scenes craftsmen who understand performers because they once were one. Asher is a quiet architect of decades of beloved recordings.
