| Taylor's producer through much of the 1970s was Peter Asher, formerly part of the 1960's English duo Peter And Gordon. Asher "discovered" Taylor while Taylor was living in London and Asher was working for the Beatles' Apple record company. Asher moved to the US to produce Taylor and later, Linda Ronstadt.
