RIP. I loved Ferry Cross the Mersey after it was released, even though I knew nothing of what the song meant.

Gerry & The Pacemakers were never favored by hipsters, but their catchy tunes kind of represented the essence of the British Invasion. They had a good run for a year or so, but then along came Acid Rock, the hippies, and the anti-war movement. They became dinosaurs in a period of about three years.

And another part of my youth is gone ...

[Dr. Ursus]

His rendition of You’ll never walk alone is the theme song of the Liverpool football club.

[LuxAerterna]

It looks like Gerry and his Pacemaker couldn’t keep up the beat.

Gerry and the Pacemakers was one of my favorite groups.

Peter Noon of Herman's Hermits is still alive.

Before joining The Beatles, Ringo Starr considered an offer to join the Pacemakers. Paul McCartney called Gerry and the Pacemakers The Beatles’ first big rival.

[Alas Babylon!]

Sad...

But I won’t cry until after dark, because...

Guess?

[dfwgator]

YNWA, Gerry!

[faucetman]

I saw Gerry and the Pacemakers LIVE in Rochester, NY early in their career. I think it was their first trip “across the pond”.

I’ll never forget how he dissed the crowd by acting like a total ass and having to ask “where the hell are we?”.

As if to say, what podunk colony town are we in?

Performance was okay I guess, but the mood had been destroyed.

[faucetman]

Ferry, cross the merZy. (that is how he sang it)

[Daveinyork]

Why is it that we only ever mourn the deaths of athletes, entertainers, and politicians?

[SamAdams76]

And the deaths just keep on coming. We lost the good looking girl from Gilligan's Island; Tanya Roberts, the actress who played multiple roles; Paul Westphal the somewhat tall basketball player; Phil Niekro the knuckleball thrower; Alto Reed from Silver Bullet Band (who played the sax part on "Turn The Page"; that one guy who played bass for the band whose name I can't remember right now; that game show host; another movie star whose name I can't remember; and now this, one of the great early Brit-Pop stars from the British Invasion of the 1960s.

When will the madness end?

I agree with those who like “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying” best but for me a close second was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIy3RdT88Hk
