I’m a 73 yr old, and I often shed tears for the late 60’s and 70’s. Nothing makes sense in this life anymore. I so miss my life and times. Everything going on now is horrible, and out of control in so many aspects. People have gone crazy. Just wish I could go back to my time zone. 😔
I certainly did as well Eddy, Gerry and the Pacemakers were a fine band and all of their songs are priceless. And they have stood the test of times as great anthems in a time when people made fine music. This is my testimonial to Gerry; good day to you.
That song was in a TV Film called Rich Deceiver, set in Liverpool, fabulous. Along with. Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight, by Cilla Black. Sue from Liverpool.
I saw Gerry about 10 years ago, and he introduced this song by saying he wrote the song when he broke up with his girlfriend. She heard it, they got back together and married about 40 years ago. The audience applauded, he then said "Wish I'd never written the ## song." Brilliant, a great character as well as singer. Will never forget.
My husband and I were recently at a RV resort with our new travel trailer on the Colorado River in Arizona (to get away from the virus sadness) and a sweet older lady (I'm 64) requested this song to sing along...it made me cry for those wonderful years of the 60's/70's/80's...I don't recognize this life any longer...
Me neither...😥😥 I’m in my sixties ...where are the years gone... rushed by me so quick ...but I so want dr who to take me back to the sixties and seventies....the best ....
Big corporate companies have corrupted people’s minds there’s no longer a sense of togetherness it’s all about what label your wearing and people working longer hours for less freedom COVID is another shot in the arm for working people it’s such a shame
@@eleanorlean9130 I'm in my 60's also. I come here and enjoy all the great music of my young years and wonder where the time went, not only the time but the world I lived in. When I listen I am back with all my beloved Family members who are now gone. It's great we have RU-vid to go back and remember.
Tears coming from me on his passing today. Cherished songs from a cherished childhood in the 60's. A simpler time . . . A beautiful time to grow up. Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying was a beloved favorite of mine even as a child. Rest in beautiful peace, Gerry Marsden. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
@Jack Lane...just read your post...I bought their album in about 1963-4...as a kid...great fidelity for it's time. Thanks, and sad for Gerry, but what a legacy!.
From Glasgow. I visited Liverpool 21 yrs ago. Took the ferry across the mersey. Loved the song. They played both these songs over the loud speaker. I was in Liverpool heaven as I sailed towards Birkenhead, looking back at the Liver buildings. Grew up listening to Gerry and his band in the 60s and 70s. Fav song is Don't let the sun catch you crying. RIP Gerry PS Also attended Celtic v Liverpool UEFA Cup match at Celtic Park. The whole stadium sang YNWA along with him. Wonderful.
I used to play soccer /football down our street with Gerry in the 50s when he came to visit his cousin who lived a few doors away from me, we would be about 12 years old, a great guy
Like you, this song reminds me when I was a teenager. Was at a school dance, this song Don't let the Sun Catch you crying was playing. I was dancing with my boyfriend/my first true love not knowing that we would break up a few days later.
@@billtotten4162 Same for this 66 year old. I liked what one person wrote. His songs make us cry and smile, at the same time. I believe Gerry is now in a special place, and still bringing smiles. ✨
RIP Gerry.❤🎶 I remember the 60s as a kid,and this song was always a favourite of mine..it's a dreamy sound that takes me home to the house I was born and raised in with my sister and brothers...wow..if we could just turn back the clock.💕⏰
Two of my favourite songs from Merseyside in the sixties. Ferry cross the Mersey still played on the ferry and Dont let the sun catch you crying had no doubt comforted many going through a breakup. Liked the band here as well. Gerry has included some youthful musicians...am liking it. Shine on Gerry!
When I think of the 60s for myself I only ever think of one man Gerry Marsden, I loved all his songs and of course not forgetting the pacemakers, rest in peace Gerry Marsden my man from the 60s.
Blessings dear Gerry Marsden,for all the memories,I used to live in England,a long time ago now..and these songs take me back there....RIP..you’ll never walk alone...♥️😢🇨🇦
Gerry Marsden absolutely totally fantastic a man never to be forgotten a great Scouser so many beautiful memories of Liverpool football club never forgotten God love you God rest you Stephen Mitchell
Wow, I imagine he has sung these songs forever, yet he seems to enjoy making people remember those wonderful days before America, and You and I lost our innocence....Thanks Gerry!
That "Ferry Cross the Mersey" melody is like "Danny Boy," -- it gets into your head stays forever. Both are beautiful melodies. Gerry still comes off well polished for a ballad singer and he has a nice style in his presentation. And on "Ferry Cross the Mersey," -- the youngsters on the brass are excellent. Good performance Gerry.
Aye to that Peter, Gerry Marsden and his Pacemakers band were a huge favorite of mine in the sixties. We Americans greatly admired all your British bands, the Beatles in particular, and, of course, Gerry and his wonderful band. Liverpool indeed made a great contribution to popular music. My roots are in England and Northern Ireland; my grandfather Allen was born I Newcastle upon Tyne, and my great grandfather Joseph Johnson's father came from London to the States. A large part of why I like and admire the British bands, but mostly for the fine music they produce. And always been a great fan of the Animals, and Eric Burdon, who hailed from Newcastle as did my grandfather. Best regards.
Oh the music is still in our hearts no matter how old we get . Crying is always part our emotions . Love this ! This is the most wonderful carefree time of life before it got complicated .
a few years ago I saw Gerry at Beatlefest and he was fantastic as usual....I was sitting in the 6th row and singing along when he sang these two songs....what a thrill that was
Absolutely brilliant ,lovely ,,,beautiful,, calm ahh, our great Britain so much promise invention energy ,,mmm,, a wonderful man who's song and sound conjures up the 1960s , if only we had a time machine,
It is so sad to have lost so many of the stars from the British Invasion in recent years. To Chad Stuart, Spencer Davis, Gerry Mardsen, Freddie Garrity, Phil May, Wayne Fontana and so many other.....May you all Rest In Peace, with the knowledge of how much joy your music brought to the world and our thanks for so many wonderful memories of by gone days.
You would as gerry would of stopped to talk to you. When you get the ferry from Birkenhead to Liverpool that what they play on in the back ground gerry never forgot his roots lovely man. Wil be sadly missed
I so love the 60s. Why was i were not born in it. The period of music revolution. The songs back then not only sounds so pleasing to our hearts and mine but it also tells a story. How i wish.
