Over an illustrious career that has spanned close to 4 decades, Peaches & Herb have established themselves as an international household name. This dynamic duo’s hitmaking reputation has been firmly etched into the public consciousness with nearly 60 records that have made the charts since “Let’s Fall In Love” began its climb up the charts in the early months of 1967.
Peaches & Herb’s first single, “We’re In This Thing Together”, enjoyed modest success. Month’s later, St. Louis Disc Jockey, Robert B.Q. picked up on the “B” side: “Let’s Fall In Love”. The song became a huge hit, and became the first of a string of extraordinarily successful hits.
A series of 45 releases followed on the “Date” label which included “Close Your Eyes” “For Your Love” and the smash hit song. “Love is Strange” and established Peaches & Herb as international stars. The duet continued touring and recording through the late 60’s and in 1970, Peaches became a housewife and Herb went into law enforcement.
In 1978, after an eight-year hiatus, Herb came back with a new Peaches, this time with Polydor/M.V.P. Records. Producer Freddie Perren took the group in the studio, and the result was 1979’s “Shake your Groove Thing” in 1979, the monster hit that became # 4 in the world.
Peaches & Herb were on top again, but the pinnacle was yet to come. In 1980, “Reunited”, one of the decade’s biggest hits, became # 1 in the World. Their album “Twice the Fire” went gold and “Too Hot” went double platinum. In 1981, Peaches & Herb released “I Pledge My Love”, which has been widely used as a wedding march and reached # 6 worldwide; and in 1982, “Bluer than Blue” became yet another top 40 hit.
