Wonderful video. I love Gerry and the Pacemakers. So many great songs. I love 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' I wish I had his talent. R.I.P. Gerry. You will never walk alone.
Way back in another century, Paul McCartney did an interview for Playboy magazine and in it he told of how in the early days of the Beatles, the band they all feared as their greatest competition was Gerry and the Pacemakers. He reasoned that the only real advantage they had was the Pacemakers had one song writer while the Beatle had two full-timers, one part timer and one occasional song writer. It's an interesting and possibly correct point of view of a lot of the 60's British bands who only lasted a year or two in the public's eye and then disappeared..
Well, as long as they're reunited with each other in the stars up above, then we shouldn't be bad one bit that they're no longer with us. RIP Freddy Marsden, Les Chadwick, Gerry Marsden, and Les Maguire, and thank you for the music! 🙏
I am a Liverpool lady, I was born in 1962 so I grew up with Gerry and the Pacemakers also the Swinging Blue Jeans. I have always been a Liverpool football club fan and I adore You'll Never Walk Alone.
I was born in 1970 and have been in Canada since 78. My aunt sang in clubs when Gerry was first starting out, apparently he was a postman (if I remember her story correctly) before he got famous. Ironically I had a poster of YNWA on the Anfield gate in transit when he passed. I cried. Finally got to see the film Ferry last year and cried then too. Gerry riding down to Woodside and onto the ferry through the walkway I had walked many times as a child and I recognized Speke Hall instantly. The ticket booths are at the Wirral Transportation museum which currently isn't operating due to bureaucrats.
I have the CD " one to one " which is just Gerry Marsden and his acoustic guitar playing his hits solo and telling the story of Gerry and the Pacemakers. If you are a fan you need this one.
Another of the British Invasion bands that were right for the U.S. at the time. What a great time it was. I was about 11 years old at the beginning of all that and it was great. I started playing drums about 1964 and still play. Thanks for these great postings.
We ( my Family) restored a '64 Chevelle to these oldies. I feel it really focused my Kids on a time passed away and focused on university degrees and what lifes about. We still play the oldies with my Grandkids today and still have the Chevelle for weekend driving.
Alot seem to forget that Gerry yes is the pouplar one out of the 4 members but I get it some think he was a solo singer and that was a back up band but come on
I didn't know he passed... how sad. I loved this group!
‘Don’t let the Sun catch you crying’ is one of the greatest ballads of all time. Could have been a jazz standard.
Yes, yes it definitely is. Gloria Estefan does a very nice version of it.
Seem like yesterday man life goes so fast
The last surviving member Les Maguire died last month, November 2023. R.I.P. YNWA
It is now 60 years since YNWA hit the UK No.1 spot in December 1963.
Actually Jose McLaughlin is still living and still playing. He was with them around 1970.
One of the first 45,s I bought.was How do you do it . Two weeks of car washing and pig swill collecting . Happy Days never to be seen again.
Amazing!
Les miguire im sad to say passed away aged 82 on November 25th non of them are alive anymore

Gerry had a terrific voice and the band were talented musicians. I wish those early recordings had been better quality
Ferry Cross the Mersey ,spoke volumes about the warmth of the Liverpool spirit...Ireland
These were the sounds of my school days! 🙂
They did cover of "It's Still Rock'n'roll to Me" by Billy Joel in 1985, which only be found in some compilation albums from Gerry & The Pacemakers
I grow up with Gerry and th pacemakers my fave song is Gerry acrosss the Mersey
I always thought it was Ferry across the Mersey lol
Thank you for the memories!

That's a strange way of pronouncing my surname! 😃
The Beatles have noever owned Parophone or EMI. Fool@1:25

Great job, sir! Could you do one of these on Player?
Possibly!
Rest in peace, Gerry.
Good job! Love them!!
One of my Childwood Band

Loved Gerry and the Pacemakers. How about The Scaffolds?
A bit gloomy. A fan.
I can't believe you didn't mention the Mersey Ferry being named for Gerry Marsden.
I knew Gerry personally ...such a lovely guy.
Thanks for exposing me to a group I was unfamiliar with.
Glad to help
I'll be there song my favorite of all time
He passed away!
Let’s hear about the Kinks
What Happened to The Kinks: ua-cam.com/video/5AExhsKF4LA/v-deo.html
Really cool video
Thanks for the visit
Beatmakers? No such Liverpool group!
They were a combined group of the Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers. I heard they preformed together in Germany
Do the Bee gees Next
It's in the works 🤫
How about what happened to Iron Butterfly?
Ugh, no thanks!
