RIP GM. I love the two iconic songs.

 

[Icy Gull]

RIP.

Gerry and the Pacemakers were the first band to have their first three singles go to no 1 in the singles charts I believe.

Great voice

 

[WATFORD zero]

Great songs and he always came across a lovely bloke. RIP

 

[Icy Gull]

RIP GM. I love the two iconic songs.

Ferry cross the Mersey and You’ll Never Walk Alone? I also like I Like It

Ferry cross the Mersey and You’ll Never Walk Alone? I also like I Like It

Yep, those 2. Love his vocals and the melodies. Very mid 60’s.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Done a lot for charity. RIP

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

RIP. Those two songs, what a legacy.

 

[RossyG]

Great singer! I always think this song should be a lot better known than it is.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I saw him and band in a pub in Blackpool in the early eighties - not a big place. He played Ferry Cross the Mersey twice It was a great afternoon session.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Some great songs.

RIP

My mate Bob saw him many times at the original Cavern. RIP.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

It,s subjective but Ferry cross the Mersey and Don't let the sun catch you crying for me. Thanks for the tunes. R-i-P.

 

[Mayonaise]

RIP Your iconic songs will stand the test of time for years more to come

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Yes RIP Gerry - those wonderful heady times of the Mersey Beat in and around ‘63 - at least four well known songs mentioned and YNWA will be forever sung at Anfield that’s for sure

Also Don’t let the sun catch you crying.

I saw him in the Batley Variety club in the 80s. He still had a fantastic voice and was great with the audience.
Part of my youth, as much as the Beatles and all the Mersey beat sound.

 

[Jam The Man]

Sad indeed

Love ‘I’m the one’ and ‘Don’t let the sun catch you crying’
RIP

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Very sad. I think of 'How Do You Do It' as the first single l asked someone to buy me. I was 8 and my auntie Lil bought it for me in Bellmans in London Road. A seminal moment in my musical life following a couple of false starts with Charlie Drake! But what a life changing moment to have a song he popularised become the anthem for his beloved football club. I think he would have said 'I Like It'. RIP Gerry.

No, You'll never Walk Alone is Rodgers and Hammerstein, and I Like it was written by Mitch Mitchell.

Ferry Cross the Mersey and Don't Let the Sun Catch you Crying, the only two songs Gerry ever wrote (decided he was never going to get any better than those two so never wrote any more). Saw him - and the Pacemakers - in the theatre on the pier at Great Yarmouth in 1966. They could play a bit too.

Genuine RIP.
