Peaches & Herb es un dúo estadounidense de música soul y R&B, cuyos orígenes se remontan a los años 60. La primera formación del grupo estuvo compuesta por Herb Fame, cuyo verdadero nombre es Herbert Feemster, y Francine "Peaches" Barker.
Herb Fame nació el 1 de octubre de 1942 en Washington, D.C. Desde joven, Fame mostró un gran interés por la música, participando en coros de iglesias y grupos de doo-wop locales. Francine Barker, por su parte, también nació en Washington, D.C., y compartía la misma pasión por la música.
El nombre "Peaches & Herb" surgió de la combinación de los nombres artísticos de los dos miembros. Francine Barker adoptó el sobrenombre "Peaches", y nunca deja de impresionar la forma en que estos dos nombres armonizan tan perfectamente. Juntos, Peaches & Herb se embarcaron en una carrera musical que dejaría una huella duradera en la industria.
En 1966, el dúo firmó con el sello Wand Records y lanzó su primer sencillo, "Let's Fall in Love", que tuvo un modesto éxito. Sin embargo, fue su segundo sencillo, "Close Your Eyes", el que realmente los catapultó a la fama. La canción alcanzó el Top 10 de las listas de R&B de Billboard, estableciendo a Peaches & Herb como un nuevo y prometedor acto musical.
Durante esta época, lanzaron varios álbumes, incluyendo "Let's Fall in Love" (1967) y "For Your Love" (1968).

Ooh, hey, hey, ha
Ooh, ooh
Got my fingers crossed
I'm hoping I'll be skating with you
Got my fingers crossed
I'm hoping I'll be skating with you
Pardon me, but I gotta let you know
You're a fabulous skater
You're a one person show
You've got moves
Others dream they can do
I'd give anything on earth
If I could skate with you
Take my hand and we'll glide around the rink
To be grooving right beside you
Is all I wanna think
Fast and fine, hey, I can't look away
Got my eyes glued on you
And the way you swing and sway
I dig you every night, rocking to the music
You're like a sexy vision
Skating in the moonlight
Gee, Iâd love to be your roller-skating mate
I can see us getting down on a roller-skating date
Gee, I'd love to be your roller-skating mate
I can see us getting down on a roller-skating date
Got my fingers crossed, I'm hoping I'll be
Skating with you
Got my fingers crossed
I'm hoping I'l be skating with you
You're so free
You jump high up in the air
Won't you roll with me
And make us a perfect pair?
Leaning real low
On a criss-crossing stroll
Say I wanna do it all
See, I'm really hot to roll
I dig you every night
Rocking to the music
You're like a sexy vision
Skating in the moonlight
Gee, I'd love to be your roller-skating mate
I can see us getting down on a roller-skating date
Gee, I'd love to be your roller-skating mate
I can see us getting down on a roller-skating date
Roll on, roll, roll on
Roll on, roll, roll on
Touch my waist, promise we'll fly
Sparkling like the fourth of July
Oh, you say you will and I do guarantee
You could open my heart, be my skating key
And we'll keep on skating
We may never slow down
Lace em up tight and
Skate all over town
We're lovers on wheels and we do what we do
Side by side on a sidewalk for two
I dig you every night, rocking to the music
You're like a sexy vision, skating in the moonlight
Gee, I'd love to be your roller-skating mate
I can see us getting down on a roller-skating date
