The original “Peaches & Herb,” Herb Fame and Francine “Peaches” Hurd Baker, scored their first national hit in 1966, a revival of 1934 hit, “Let’s Fall In Love.” The duo followed with a string of hits in 1967 and ’68 including “Close Your Eyes,” “For Your Love” and “Love Is Strange” and became the Sweethearts of Soul. Barker then retired but continued to pursue a solo career before Herb re-started Peaches & Herb in 1976. Since then, Herb has continued in his role while six different ladies have performed as Peaches.
