"500 Miles" was a track on Peter and Gordon's debut album, "A World Without Love" in 1964. After the duo's final releases in 1969, Peter Asher became head of A&R for Apple Records. Asher has continued his career as a recording executive in California where he exlusively managed and produced Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Peter has also produced recordings for Cher, 10,000 Maniacs, and Diana Ross. His daughter, Victoria Asher, is a member of the alternative group Cobra Starship. In August, 2005, Peter and Gordon reunited onstage for the first time in more than 30 years, as part of two tribute concerts for Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five in New York City. This was followed by more complete concerts at The Festival for Beatles Fans (formerly Beatlefest) conventions that began in the following year. Paul McCartney heard about the reunion shows and sent a message to them to congratulate them for deciding to reunite. Sadly, Gordon Waller died on 17 July 2009, at the age of 64.
