The Hindu News Update Service: "HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP) Gordon Waller of the pop duo Peter and Gordon, who were part of the 1960s British Invasion and had a string of hits including several written by their friend Paul McCartney, has died. He was 64.

Waller died on Friday at The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, nursing supervisor Nity Oris confirmed Monday. The duo's Web site says Waller, who lived in Ledyard, Connecticut, went into cardiac arrest on Thursday night.

Waller and Peter Asher hit No. 1 on music charts around the world in 1964 with their debut single ``A World Without Love.'' McCartney, who at the time was dating Asher's sister, actress Jane Asher, wrote the song."
