Read Full BioGerry & the Pacemakers was an English beat group from Liverpool that was prominent in the 1960s Merseybeat scene. They are most remembered for being the first act to reach number one in the UK Singles Chart with their first three single releases: "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It" and "You'll Never Walk Alone".

Gerry Marsden (1942-2021) formed Gerry & The Pacemakers in the late 1950s with his brother, Fred Marsden (died 2006), Les Chadwick (1943-2019) and Arthur Mack. They rivalled The Beatles early in their career, playing in the same areas of Hamburg, Germany, and Liverpool, England, and being from Liverpool, managed by Brian Epstein, and recorded by George Martin. Mack was replaced on piano by Les Maguire ()born 1941) around 1961. They are known to have rehearsed at Camell Laird shipping yard at Birkenhead.

They began recording in early 1963 with "How Do You Do It?", a Mitch Murray written song that both Adam Faith and The Beatles had turned down (in the latter case because they wanted to record their own material, specifically "Please Please Me"). The song became a number one hit, until being replaced at the top by The Beatles' third single, "From Me to You".

Gerry & the Pacemakers next two singles, Murray's "I Like It" and Rodgers and Hammerstein's "You'll Never Walk Alone", both also reached number one in the UK Singles Chart. Never before had the first three singles by a performer all reached the top spot (the feat would not be duplicated until Frankie Goes to Hollywood did it in the 1980s).

Despite this early success, Gerry & the Pacemakers never had another number one single in the U.S. Gerry Marsden began writing most of their own songs, including "It's All Right", "I'm the One", and "Ferry Cross the Mersey", as well as their first and biggest U.S. hit, "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying". All of these represented the band's light, poppy, enjoyable sound. They also starred in a moderately successful early 1965 film called Ferry Cross the Mersey, for which Marsden wrote much of the soundtrack.

By later in 1965, though, their popularity was rapidly declining on both sides of the Atlantic. They lacked the innovation of the Beatles and did not have the rawer musical and visual edge of some of the other British Invasion groups, and they soon seemed un-hip. They disbanded in October 1966 with much of their latter recorded material never released in the UK.

Gerry Marsden became a popular cabaret and children's TV entertainer. He reformed the band in 1972 with prominent Liverpool musicians Jose McLaughlin, Billy Kinsley and Pete Clarke. In April 1973, this second version of the group became the only Merseybeat band to ever record for the John Peel Show on BBC Radio. The tracks from that show have now been included on the album Gerry & the Pacemakers Live at the BBC, released on Parlophone Records in October 2018. Subsequently, Marsden occasionally toured with various line-ups of the band on the oldies circuit. Gerry Marsden announced his retirement on 29 November 2018.

The band is probably best remembered for their version of "You'll Never Walk Alone," which has become the anthem for Liverpool Football Club in England. Liverpool's fans sing the song before every match at Anfield, their home stadium.

You'll Never Walk Alone
Gerry & The Pacemakers Lyrics


When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

@Sarpistic I feel the same but it's a result of giving up on others through decades of tremendous adversity. I still love songs about unity and love.

To me, love is the meaning of life - why we are here. I dreamed that dream my entire life yet in the end, I have to say since my dreams didn't come to fruition, I turned to isolation. When covid hit, nothing much changed for me as I'd finally learned to be alone. The problem with that is the longer you stay that way, the more crazy we seem to get. Talk about codependent no more yet it's given me a view I never could have envisioned before. By now I can't imagine it any other way.

Still, I love the idea of love, togetherness, friendship - it just didn't work out for me. And that's okay.

Of all the loss and pain in the world that I've witnessed in 2020, the greatest loss I suffered was April 7th when #JohnPrine passed from covid-19. After 45 years of him living in my head - my heart is still seemingly irreparably broken. RIP to all those we've lost to old age, illness, accidents and the pandemic.

I don't believe life can ever be the way it was before 2020 and now the heartbreaking events here in the US last week - even isolation can't protect from pain and heartache.

Someone said that they've spent time finding comfort in revisiting all the old music of decades gone by. I've done the same and I wish enough time remained to listen to everything I've ever heard before as well as everything I've missed. There is certainly a special comfort in so much nostalgia.

I hope people can find relief, renewed hope and love as time keeps passing, just as it always has and always will.

Peace and love to all. ❤️
