Peter Asher, the ‘Everywhere Man’: an interview with the legendary singer, producer and manager, and the documentarians who have made the movie of his life

Peter Asher’s career spans acting, pop music and record production, earning him the nickname “Everywhere Man” in a new documentary by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller. The film traces how his work with Peter and Gordon, his connections to The Beatles and his production for artists across generations shaped a wide-reaching musical legacy.

Now 82, Asher began acting as a child, including a role as Claudette Colbert’s son in *The Planter’s Wife*, and later performed in radio, theatre and television. He says he did not initially plan a music career: success came gradually as audiences paid Peter and Gordon to perform, followed by a record deal. The documentary features interviews with Paul McCartney, Carole King, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and others, reflecting Asher’s work with a long list of musicians and performers.
