Liverpool football club(soccer) play this song right before kickoff of every home match. The entire stadium sings in unison. It’s very powerful.
Silently they sing it 😂
They weren’t asleep 😊
Up The Reds !
Another fun fact: This song title and part of the song itself was used on the 1971 Pink Floyd album Meddle on the song "Fearless". Its a deep dive into Pink Floyd from the album right before Dark Side of the Moon and its a sublime listen, be cool if they picked it for review someday (hint, hint, if you read this Amber and Rob).

This is a massive anthem for the football club, Liverpool FC. One of the most poignant times it was sung was at Wembley, at the 1989 FA cup final. After the disaster at Hillsborough, the two teams supporters, Liverpool and Everton, normally major rivals, sang this together in unison, both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time
Hillsborough. Was watching Saturday Sport when it went live...as a massive soccer fan I watched this horror unfold. Too awful, just, even now it makes me cry.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour I live in the States and my husband was born and raised in Liverpool, we started out as pen pals in 1965. I SAW the tragedy on TV at Hillsborough in 1989 and it was HORRIBLE, it broke mine and HIS heart. He was a Liverpool FC fan. I CRY every time I hear this song.
The disaster occurred at Hillsborough stadium , Sheffield , South Yorkshire, England. That is why its called Hillsborough disaster. Also Liverpool were playing Nottingham Forest team at the neutral ground on that day. I from Nottingham and always been aware of this tragedy. If you check the facts on google, 97 Liverpool supporters died and 766 got injured
I still cry when I hear this. It's so poignant 😢
Up The Reds!
Their biggest hit in the US was "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying". The song will bring Amber to tears!
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey"!!
This was Jerry Lewis' emotional closing song for the Annual Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, for many years. He was singing to the children with Muscular Dystrophy. A tear jerker for sure.
He is singing that song from the heart💕! Wow so beautiful! Let’s hope we never have to walk alone!
Ferry Cross the Mersey was by far their biggest hit. You two have to put that one on your list!
Yes, I agree that "Ferry Cross The Mersey" and "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" are two songs you have to hear. I love Gerry Marsden's voice. He passed away last year. RIP
That's the song I suggested months ago ...I couldn't remember it .thanks .
Kathie says…I have always loved Gerry and the Pacemakers!! Please play FERRY ACROSS THE MERSEY and..DON’T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYING. These are two BEAUTIFUL songs and I know you will Love them also!!
This song actually comes from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel". It played on Broadway for decades, and they made a movie of it in 1956. R & H made some great musicals: "Oklahoma", "South Pacific", "State Fair"', "The King and I" and "The Sound of Music" etc.
Someone finally got it right. Kudos to you.
Was about to make this comment but figured I would see if anyone beat me to it……
Is it about spiritual faith? I thought it was!
It is about faith and perseverance. It is sung in the play to a pregnant young woman whose husband has just died. Rodgers and Hammerstein were both Jewish, but the theme is universal to anyone struggling through hardships.
Rogers and Hammerstein was Richard Rogers' second songwriting partnership. The first was with Lorenz Hart, through the 1920s and 30s, from which came "Pal Joey", "A Connecticut Yankee", "On Your Toes", and "Babes in Arms", etc.
To us Liverpool FC supporters this song is more like a hymn than a mere song. It has been used as a rallying cry on and off the field. Gerry himself sang the song on the Anfield pitch on many occasions. One instance where YNWA was sung to good effect was during halftime in the 2005 Champions League final when Liverpool were 3-0 down against AC Milan. The fans in the stadium sang YNWA so loudly the players in their changing could hear them. The players came out fighting for the second half and got the score back to 3-3 and eventually won on penalties. Some players have said they didn't need a team talk at halftime after hearing the fans singing. The rest is history.
😂😂😂
YNWA ❤SO SENIOR 🇧🇷
Im from Liverpool and i went to see Take That at Anfield a few days after LFC won the Champions league. Gerry came on and sang this with Take That. The croud went manic. It was magic. What a moment and a memory i will cherish in my heart forever xx
"Ferry Cross the Mersey" "How Do You Do" "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" are three more gems.
Liverpool fc and Glasgow Celtic anthems. Amazing sounds from 60000 fans singing their hearts out to this classic song. You should check a video of it going sung in the grounds.
Somewhere on UA-cam is a video of 95,000 Liverpool supporters singing YNWA before a pre-season tour game in Melbourne, which was crazy. But in reality, any time Liverpool supporters sing it before games, it's goosebumps. Some of the comments hear rightly point out the added significance it took on in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster. I'd encourage Amber and Jay to take a look into that, it was for a number of reasons, the most tragic day in British sporting history.
Definitely react to that version! It’s amazing ❤
ua-cam.com/video/5iLL57puZPM/v-deo.html - around the 4 min mrl
Every single Brit knows the words to that song.
Listen to Jerry and the Pacemakers sing “Ferry Cross the Mersey” - another great song!
Liverpool and Celtic play this song before the match and it is spine tingling. Great reaction guys as always. Take care.
This song is originally from the musical Carousel, written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II in 1945.
Rodgers and Hammerstein,who wrote some of the most famous musicals ever, wrote this in 1945 long before the 60's. They claim it was their favorite musical. It is filled with some beautiful songs but unfortunately has a horrible storyline. There is a line in the musical which is often related "Is it true that someone his got and got love them, it doesn't hurt ". Gerry and the Pacemakers had some other songs more 60's /British Invasion sounding.
I thought Glasgow Celtic FC wrote it
@@nedeast6845 No, they covered it. Here's the original from 1945: ua-cam.com/video/wlsUfOjVhrM/v-deo.html It's been covered over 450 times!
This is not just a great pop song, it’s the anthem for a whole community of working class Liverpudlians. Love how this particular video brings that out. ✌️
Not evertonians it isn't
You really need to watch the Liverpool FC crowd sing this at Anfield, it’s outstanding.
You have to watch the crowd at a Liverpool football match sing this. It will make you cry, it does me every time and I'm not even from Liverpool.
My clubs anthem ❤️wasn't just the Beatles that came from Liverpool. RIP Gerry
I have always loved this song. At 71, i remember every word. It is emotional for me,, makes me cry. Used to sing this in my livingroom loud when i was young. Love this.
I always end up in tears listening to that. 😢 it means a lot to me, I'm a scouser 👍 born 1960 in Toxteth, the mixed race area of Liverpool back then, Liverpool is quite small and my mother used to go to the bingo Hall with Ringos mum..🤣 my older siblings used to watch the Quarrymen, later the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and all the Merseysound bands of the 60s, you'd be surprised who's done gigs in that "tiny" underground club.. The Cavern Club is one of the most famous music clubs in the world and will forever be associated with the Beatles, despite the fact many other bands and musicians have played at the venue including Queen, Adele, The Kinks, Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg, Travis and Oasis amongst many others. Gerry Marsden was a lovely man and a true scouser, everybody knew Gerry, he was always around town and given the fact that he NEVER had to buy another pint since that song came out he was often in a pub somewhere 😂😂😂 AND he NEVER missed a game....who else could lead the Kop Choir in singing their team on...😮
💗
There biggest hit is "Ferry Cross The Mersey" that's the one to hear. This song is from the musical "Carousel" written by Rogers & Hammerstein. 1945
Ferry Cross the Mersey. The river that flows through the city of Liverpool
"Ferry Cross the Mersey" was their biggest hit in England, but "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" was a bigger hit in America.
But they were close, number 5 and 6 in America and 6 and 8 in England. In America they were their best selling songs, In England they had 4 songs that were bigger hits than either of them.
@Sam Yes and the River Mersey is not pronounced like the word "Mercy" like many people think, it is pronounced like "MER--Zey"
Dortmund
This song is played at Celtic football club in Scotland. It reminds me of my dad so much. Such an emotional song and hearing thousands of people singing it brings me to tears every time.
By kind permission of LFC. Respect to your dad.
Remember being in the Manchester City Supporter's club in the 60's and they had played Liverpool in the afternoon and a crowd of Liverpool supporters came into the club, got up on stage and sang this, there wasn't a dry eye in the place.
Jerry Lewis used to sing this at the end of the MD Telethon every year, often breaking down in tears.
@Gwen Snyder
I wonder if they've ever heard of Jerry's Kids and the telethon for muscular dystrophy?
My grandmother and mother used to watch it every year for quite a while, but I was pretty young and don't remember a lot of it. I do remember getting excited each time they'd change the numbers as the amount of money raised went up. 🙂
@@LMmccallL57 The last telethon with Jerry was 2010. The show's format changed a lot in the following years, with different opening and closing songs, and shorter running times. For years the opening number was Charlie Chaplin's "Smile". The 2011 show ended with "God Bless America". The last telethon was in 2014. In 2020, a social media event was held to replace the telethon.
@@dougbrowning82
I think I stopped watching during the mid 1980s.
I remember Jerry having a bit of a rant on the stage, which took my family and me by surprise. There were articles about it in tabloids, but I didn't know what really happened because as much as those papers were fun for a laugh because of the absurd stories, they very, very rarely told the truth.
Anyway, I remember Jerry speaking roughly and raising his voice to people working on the telethon, including the band, assistants and at one point seemed to be annoyed with the children who had muscular dystrophy as he greeted them. It was very hard to watch. I understand that a person can get exhausted and on edge after a few hours of no sleep, let alone a full weekend while entertaining. Still... 😕 He was acting strange while hosting before that time, and it got worse with time.
I don't know if it was due to his drinking, combined with his anger problems and being a perfectionist, or what. It was a complete turn-off for us and we stopped watching.
Back in the day of the Jerry Lewis telethon for muscular dystrophy, he always ended it with this song..no matter how tired he was, he sang this song!
Don't you mean Gerry Marsden?
@@cgkennedy no, I meant exactly who I said. Jerry Lewis put on & hosted the telethon & at the end, he sang this song. I'm not saying it was his song to sing..just that that program always ended with this song.
I always caught the end of the telethon to see if Jerry could finish it. I only saw him once NOT finish it.
@@AgentJamesLee yes. My father & I would always watch the end to hear that song..we'd sing with him to try & help him get through it. Corney I know, but it's a memory of my father (another jerry) that I cherish.
@@cgkennedy Uk people will remembere Jerry from the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comedy duo. He sang it as in the style from Carousel.
Ferry Across the Mersey, and Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying, are awesome by Gerry and The Pacemakers
Gerry Marsden and the Pacemakers were the first British group to have their first 3 records go straight into the record charts at number 1.
His brother Fred was also in the band as the drummer.
I always enjoy watching your reaction videos, particularly when it is for British bands and artists. But this is something else and incredibly personal for me. I've been a Liverpool supporter all my life, I'm 51. I sang this on the Kop hundreds of times before and during the match, but since 1989 it stirs very different feelings. I was at Hillsborough but I was lucky, I got to go home. RIP the 97.
The anthem of both Liverpool Football Club and Celtic Football Club from Glasgow (football as in ⚽). I saw once on TV a.UEFA Champions League game between both teams and the fans of both teams sang this song together. I think it was at Anfield Road Stadium in Liverpool. Hearing 50,000 + people singing such a beautiful song in unison gave me chills. I can't even imagine what it'd feel like being there as a fan of either team. I'd probably cry
Another big hit of theirs is Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying.
Since its first recording, by Frank Sinatra in 1945, “You’ll Never Walk Alone” has been reinterpreted by many musicians and singers, including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand and Lana Del Rey.
In the UK, the Liverpudlian band Gerry and the Pacemakers covered the song and released it as a single in 1963. The single achieved great success, reaching the top of the UK chart.
After which it became the theme Anthem of some of the greatest Football fans in the World: LIVERPOOL F C.
A wonderful 3-minute version is Glasgow Celtic fans singing this v Barcelona with 60,000 fans all with scarves held aloft.
Technically, it was first recorded for the Original Broadway Cast album of “Carousel” by Christine Johnson with Carousel Chorus and Orchestra
This is another great British group from the 60's. They had a lot in common with The Beatles as they both came from Liverpool, were managed by Brian Epstein, and were recorded by George Martin. They had a lot of great hits such as "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It", "Ferry Cross the Mersey", "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" etc. Sadly the lead singer Gerry Marsden died last year
Don't forget The Searchers, also Liverpool has the most Number 1 hits in UK since charts bagan
" I'll Be There"..
When Liverpool played at MCG in Australia a couple of years ago the crowd sang this all the way, was very emotional for those expats in the crowd, and the video is worth watching.
I was at Liverpool stadium on Sat when Liverpool played Celtic and both clubs sing this song before games and it's just incredible to be there and witness it ❤️
Love Amber's reaction when she asks what does Liverpool have in the water
Hearing Liverpool Football Fans sing this in union, it was first sung to honour fans who died in a stadium tragedy. It always brings tears to my eyes.
This anthem is played and sung by the fans at Anfield ( Liverpools home ground) every time they play. Lana Del Ray has a lovely version. She’s a Liverpool fan! It’s Gerry Marsden btw. Great singer. It’s from a musical.
It's from Carousel, a great musical from Rodgers & Hammerstien starring Shirley Jones.
I remember every year at the end of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon he would sing this song. 😢❤
😢❤
More British Invasion bands:
Herman's Hermits: "I'm Henry VIII, I Am"; :"Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" "I'm Into Something Good"
Chad & Jeremy: "Yesterday's Gone" "A Summer Song" "Distant Shores"
Peter & Gordon: "World Without Love" (written by Paul McCartney); "I Go to Pieces"
Gerry Marsden had a beautiful voice and the group had several hits, all sweet and melodic.
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform on stage 6 years ago, and they were fabulous. Lead singer Gerry Marsden passed away a short while ago, that was a sad day, he will be missed. ❤🎶🎙
Amazing... This song is used by many football (soccer for you guys) teams in the world as an anthem. Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Celtic...
New here, just discovered you today and I have been bing watching all afternoon.
I am Liverpool born and bred, and my dad taught me to sing this song as a kid, before I even went to school. Didn’t have a choice to be a Liverpool fan either 😂.
If you want a good song by Gerry snd the Pacemakers, look for “Ferry across the Mersey”. A beautiful song about Liverpool. My dad taught me this song too.
You guys Are going too LOVE this group and song!!!
One of many songs that brings tears to my eyes, Elvis's version was played at my grandmother's funeral
Try their song DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYING. Love that you guys are discovering the playlist of my life!❤
This is quite an inspirational song originally from a Broadway musical and covered by many artists.
It's was from Carousel.
Liverpool loved him margy from Liverpool ❤
This was actually the B side to their 1st hit single "How Do You Do It" (which was recorded first by the Beatles but they refused to release it because they felt they could write a better song) It has since become a classic at soccer matches there. Originally from the musical "Carousel". Released in 1963
George Martin suggested this song to the Beatles, but John Lennon had already written Please Please Me and when the band played it for him, he said "That's your first number one". Sure enough it was. How Do You Do It was relegated to Gerry and the Pacemakers, which became THEIR first #1!!
The Beatles actually did record How Do You Do It on the request of George Martin. He was not originally impressed with Please Please Me. The Beatles reworked Please Please Me to be an uptempo song. George Martin liked it much better so the Beatles version of How Do You Do It was never released until their Anthology Albums in the 90s. The song was then given to Gerry and the Pacemakers.
@ Johnnie Kight. Yes this cover was released by Gerry and The Pacemakers in 1963. However the song itself by Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the song for the Broadway show in 1945 and the MOVIE release for the musical was in 1956
Gerry Marsden had that recognizable voice that you knew it was him the instant that he started singing. Many great songs, especially Ferry Cross The Mersey and Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying. Glad you got around to them.
Jerry and the Pacemakers were huge in the UK, contemporories of and rubbing shoulders with the Beatles as they all learned their craft around the small venues in Liverpool.
They had a UK No1 before the Beatles with How Do You Do It, a number the fab four had turned down. They were also the first British group to have their first three releases at No1.
As others have said, seek out YTs of this song at Liverpool FC games to feel the emotion it engenders.
"Fearless" by Pink Floyd of Meddke (1971) includes a stadium's of soccer fans singing "You'll never walk alone. You'll never walk alone" as sung here.
Walker Brothers....The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore
The Righteous Brothers do a great job on this song also.
Yes.I 'm heard that version more than anyone .Never knew Gerry and the Pacemakers version until a few years ago.
This was my Mom's favorite song. Her last years were spent in a lot of pain and she always rallied when she heard it. The one thing I regret is that the church wouldn't let us play it at her funeral, which always stunned me because this is a spiritual about walking with God (community, yes, but also God), and I didn't insist upon a song that was so fundamentally important to her. Love ya Mom.
Great reaction, Jay and Amber! I love this song and it always makes me cry.
"DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYIN" IS FIRE🎤
I'm by no means a Liverpool fan (as regards football), and I'm not a Northerner (although I am British), but this song is such a moving classic, it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Scousers (natives of Liverpool, for those who don't know) might not like me saying it, but this song is bigger than just one city or one sport.
Amber is right - the message of community, hope and resilience in the lyrics is so powerful and something we all need in our lives, and it gets more poignant to me as I get older and see the direction the world is moving in.
This one is a cover of a show tune from the play Carousel Their breakthrough hits were How Do You Do It, a song that the Beatles rejected (you can hear their take on the Anthology 1 CD), Ferry, Cross the Mersey, Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying, and I Like It. These guys were also managed by Brian Epstein, who was the Beatles' manager, the second group he signed to manage.
So EVERY TIME I hear this it makes me cry so much. RIP to all the men, women and children who perished at Hillsborough..I, like so many others who were outside of the ground that day,helped the fans that got out alive..This was a dark time in the City of Sheffield, but even more for the City of Liverpool and the families of those that died.
RIP You will NEVER be forgotten.
Too many people got away with being held responsible..shame on them.
☮️💓🇬🇧💔
Great song. Classic in every way. I think you'll find "Ferry Cross the Mersey" will be highly recommend for your next Gerry song. "I'm the One", "How Do You Do It?" and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" are other good ones.
I Like It
This is a very important night in Queen’s history. Gearing up for the encore, the audience sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to the band. This would inspire guitarist Brian May to write a song purely meant as a piece for audience participation - the result being a ditty entitled We Will Rock You.
Brian recalled the evening in a 2010 NPR interview: “The audience was responding hugely, and they were singing along with everything we did. I remember talking to Freddie about it. And I said, ‘Obviously, we can no longer fight this. This has to be something which is part of our show and we have to embrace it, the fact that people want to participate - and, in fact, everything becomes a two-way process now. And we sort of looked at each other and went, 'Hmm. How interesting.’” Brian says he woke up the morning after the show with the “stomp-stomp-clap” idea in his head, but added that it wasn’t included in the original song, a comment that suggests the embryo of the song had existed earlier than this.
Bingley audiences singing You’ll Never Walk Alone at rock concerts was a regular occurrence.
And I was there ✌
Fun fact: this song name and part of the song were used on an early Pink Floyd song named "Fearless".
Righteous Brothers sings this live on the Ed Sullivan Show.
This is a beautiful song. I love the version that Elvis sings
Jerry Lewis used to sing this at the end of every MDA Telethon
I'm from Newcastle England.. you should listen to the Liverpool fans singing this before football ⚽️ game.. respect to them.. they sing it loud and proud 👏
I never heard this song but "Ferry Cross the Mersey" and "Don't let the sun catch you crying" were their biggest hits and excellent songs.
This song was a UK No1 for Gerry for 4 weeks.
Thanks for sharing your reaction to "You Never Walk Alone" today. I didn't know that song and now it's been introduced to me. It's beautiful. There's a British pub near my house that plays Liverpool games and brings out their supporters and they always have a sign above the awning saying "You Never Walk Alone." The idea that the whole crowd sings this song before every game makes me like the team and people of Liverpool even more!
My husband is from Liverpool and used to work with Gerrys Dad! His brother and sister used take him along to the Cavern Club to see the Beatles !
"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel.
If I'm not mistaken Pink Floyd included a recording of fans singing this song in one of their songs.
"Fearless" at the very end and it bemuses reactors every time who think it is the start of another song:)
This is a cover. Oscar Hammerstein wrote it for the Broadway musical Carousel. Frank Sinatra recorded 1st.
Yeah but .... this version means so much more to the people of Liverpool and probably have never heard the Frank Sinatra version ..
One of the most beautiful songs. So exiciting.
As someone born and raised in Liverpool, this song was adopted by the Liverpool football club and fans as its anthem…to this day it is that anthem….very moving when you are inside the Anfield ground. ‘Ferry cross the Mersey” should be next….the Mersey is the River Mersey and this is a great song.
This is the anthem of Liverpool played before every football game, it means more than you can you imagine, it was played at my uncles funeral as he was the biggest Liverpool football supporter.
I love it when Amber goes all dreamy
It's originally from the musical Carousel by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
This song is featured in the classic movie "Carousel", which I watched yesterday for the first time, finally. I started to watch "Oklahoma" again, but remembered that I hadn't seen "Carousel" and now have free access to it. I was in a Rodgers and Hammerstein movie musical mood. 🙂
I think that Patti LaBelle has a beautiful version of this song. Aretha Franklin also has a version, but I really like Patti's. 👍🏽
You should hear the Liverpool supporters sing this in the stadium, awesome! not sure how many may be singing but I would guese upto 40,000 supporters at least.
This is the perfect anthem!!!! Beautiful.
In 2016 80,000 people sang this in Dortmund, Germany when Liverpool played Borussia Dortmund in a soccer match. Both clubs have this song as their anthem. You should watch the video, it’s incredible, will move you!
In 2013 Liverpool played at the MCG against Melbourne Victory . 95,000 plus fans from both sides stood and sang as one . Totally spine tingling
I've never had bigger goosebumps than singing this at Anfield! Every time feels like the first. 🔥 JFT97🔥
Lead singer Gerry Marsden saw the musical Carousel when he as a boy and always loved this song. Gerry & The Pacemakers' popularity along with The Beatles and a few other bands helped coin the "Merseybeat" Their song "Ferry Cross The Mersey" refers to the Mersey River that runs past Liverpool. Another hit of their's is "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying".
You won't find any Liverpool fans (myself included) not loving this song as it is sung by the fans before and during every match they play, the players come out onto the pitch to this song so it is very much their anthem
Gerry was working right up until he died a couple of years back, his voice lasted well!
You all will find that The Righteous Bros. do a killer version of this song live or recorded. Enjoy this one!
Elvis
Gerry Marsden was a Liverpool icon! This is the anthem of the Liverpool FC, and Liverpool supporters always sing it in unison!
I remember back when the Beatles were starting the song "How Do You Do It" was offered to them. It was to be released as their first. Instead they recorded "Love Me Do" They convinced their producer to "Give it to Gerry" One of my favorite Pacemakers songs is "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying".
I love the way ROB said "the images they are SHOWING" and "The VIDEO made it sweeter" as he had his EYES CLOSED for the first half and missed half of those images. lol
This song is from Carousel, a musical from 1945. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, now you must listen to their songs.
The best anthem of the best football club in the world. Come on the REDS.
Liverpool fans sing this at all their home games! ❤
LOVE Gerry and the Pacemakers. “Ferry Cross the Mersey” is my fave of their songs, you must check it out!
This song was always sung by Jerry Lewis at the end of the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon that occurred over the Labor Day weekend. This was back in the 60’s. Millions of dollars were raised for support of children with MD. MD encompasses over 30 diseases that impact muscular skeletal development. There are varying degrees of severity depending on the type and how young a child begins showing symptoms.
My brother has Charot Marie Tooth, one of the MD diseases. I can remember going with him to his physical therapy sessions when he was about 3. He’s suffered his entire life enduring multiple surgeries. We always watched the Telethon. I always cried when Jerry Lewis sang this song.
In later years there were controversies about the telethon. I, however, remember feeling so impacted by the money raised for the children who suffer from Muscular Dystrophy.
A great recording but to see Gerry and the Pacemakers do this live was something else. Saw them in 1964 when they toured with the Beatles and Roy Orbison. A once in a lifetime show. Love your reactions to the legends from our tiny country, filled with genius and talent. 👑👑👑👑
I played this song and Don’t let the sun catch you crying when I was in Liverpool a couple of years before. RIP Gerry Marsden.
Let us set the recording straight of You'll Never Walk Alone. The first impact on the song was made in 1954. The artist is Roy Hamilton. He also went on to record Ebb Tide, Unchain Melody, and I Believe. All long before The Righteous Brothers, The Pacemakers, and Elvis Presley versions. In fact, all one has to do on UA-cam is key in Elvis Presley and Roy Hamilton and get wise of who Presley modeled his singing. These are simply the fact.
95,000 LIVERPOOL fans sang this in Australia (It is on UA-cam) and they were 10,000 MILES AWAY FROM HOME...lol
I've always admired Gerry Marsden. A very humble and decent guy amongst other rockers. He never turned his back on his home like, ahem, you know!
As an American living in England and a Liverpool fan since 12 I love the song and hold it dear to my heart. If you've ever been to anfield it's amazing
