My father told me that it was yet another Lennon-McCartney creation and they let another band release the song. It was also in a Beatles guitar book I happened to be reading. You know, the song goes, "I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love." It definitley sounds like a Beatles-type melody and chord progression. And who was the band that made it famous?

Yes, this is a John Lennon/Paul McCartney song. It was originally recorded by The Mavericks. This is the band you are probably thinking of. Recently redone by Vonda Shepard.

"A World Without Love" was a chart-topping song written by Lennon/McCartney (Northern Songs Ltd.) in 1964, and recorded by Peter Asher and Gordon Waller (as Peter & Gordon).
Peter & Gordon were among the first musicians to obtain the privilege to record a Lennon/McCartney track. Paul McCartney was dating Jane Asher, an aspiring English actress. Jane Asher was Peter Asher's sister, leading him and McCartney to become friends.

The music that makes me cry the main is a music talked approximately as "My Immortal" by Evanescence. attractive , yet unhappy written lyrics. crucial music that brings me to tears from the 1st actual line of the music being sung. each and every time. Amy Lee can sing the hell out of that music.

Yes they did. Peter & Gordon sang it, and was a big hit for them in I believe 1964 or 1965.
