This is a beautiful human being, with the love of God and people in his soul. God bless you Gerry for the great music. I'm 57 and grew up in tose times. Its so nice to hear him tell the strories. It was an innocent time.
The most AUTHENTIC and dear man you could ever hope to meet. Didn't know he spent some years boxing. This is a timeless and delightful interview that explains and recreates so many things.
Gerry is the real thing....just as cordialy and funny as he is on TV interviews...met him at a L.A. Beatlefest...patiently posed for pix with hundreds (not kidding) of fans till the last one met him ....if you ever get a opp to meet him...he'll make you feel like you're an old pal (mate)...Cheers Gerry....^/^
About 8 years ago I was visiting a friend in Liverpool and he had the local radio on and Gerry Marsden came on and sang a standard - something like The Shadow Of Your Smile or a similar jazz ballad. I was surprised and impressed as to how good he sounded as prior to that I always associated him with a likable rock but less sophisticated style of playing.
First time seeing this video my family came the village in Italy that Gerry was talking about St Gerard and grew up in Newark NJ during the 50s the national shrine of this saint was St Lucy's on Oct 16 we celebrate his day the society of St Gerard still have his feast at 65 once a year from about 116 yes our Little Italy comes alive again I wish I could contact Gerry send him a gift from the shrine any suggestions out there would be helpful stay well in 2015 everyone God Bless!

It's Holly Johnson who was the lead singer of a group called Frankie goes to Hollywood when they had three UK no.1's in the '80s. I expect two of these hits were Relax and Two Tribes.
For the love of God, please, somebody, interview Gerry about his guitars. There are so many rumors about him sawing off the head of his 12 string Ric and throwing guitars overboard off boats on the way back from New Zealand.
@@kcuhc84 It was adapted to fit him and the case. I think the last thing that man would do was fake. They don’t come anymore genuine then him. And listening to him on parts one and two, you can really grasp who he was. I saw other interviews with him. They were always enjoyable.
Gerry and The Pacemakers had 3 consecutive No 1s with their first 3 rec-How Do you do it,I like it,You,ll never walk alone(which became their signature tune)
Simply a lovely Unpretentious man What an era of music we of a certain age we grew up in R.I.P Gerry

"...and I saw no flames either which I was pleased about..." Such wit!
Gerry is so eloquent throughout this interview.
I just hang on his every word.
What an awesome guy. Love him.

Rest In Peace 🙏
Na na na na na! I still say that in my 60’s 🤣
It puzzles me why The Seekers never toured the U.S. until 1967.
Why didn't they tour with some of these other groups?
What a great talent and not stuck-up; thank you, my friend for all the good years of music.

First 3 songs made no. 1 and their 4th made no. 2
Never heard of the beat goes on. Must be an Auckland thing, those JAFA's
Or I must have my head in the sand

The Power of Love was the third.
