WE LOVE THEIR SOUND!! GERRY & THE PACEMAKERS - FERRY CROSS THE MERSEY (REACTION) 

Gerry and the Pacemakers'"Don't let the sun catch you crying" and "You'll never walk alone" are two greats in my opinion.R.I.P.Gerry.

This is another great British group from the 60's during the Merseybeat scene. They had a lot in common with The Beatles as they both came from Liverpool, were managed by Brian Epstein, and were recorded by George Martin. They had a lot of great hits such as "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It", You'll Never Walk Alone", "Ferry Cross the Mersey" & "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying". Sadly the lead singer Gerry Marsden died this year.

Gerry and the Pacemakers were part of the '64 British Invasion. The Mersey is a river around Liverpool, England. Along with the Beatles, they were part of the Merseybeat scene.

their best song in my opinion is "don't let the sun catch you crying"... a beautiful melancholy song....

Glad someone has reacted to these guys. next by this group Don't let the sun catch you crying

Pronounced like Jerry & the pacemakers-their other huge ballad-Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying is also worth a listen as is their uptempo tune I Like It and How do You do It. Another huge British band-the Dave Clark five-has a deep rabbit hole-a group that rivaled the Beatles in 1964. Hits of theirs include Glad all Over, bits and Pieces, Because, any Way You Want It, Come Home, I like It Like That,Over And Over, reelin And Rockin, At the Scene and You Got What It Takes-they had the most appearances on the Ed sullivan show which launched the Beatles in the US.

They have another great hit called "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying."

Love Jerry. Love the song. His voice is fantastic. Love it!.

RIP Gerry!

One of there best songs! Listen to "Don't let the sun catch you crying". Also one of their best!

This is my go-to karaoke song. The Mersey is the river that runs through Liverpool, which, like the Beatles, is where these guys came from.

❤️🥰❤️ Hello S & M SQUAD, HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!! ☃️❄️🎄⭐️ I’ve like this song, because, to ME, no matter where you’re from, “home” is where you’re.always welcome!!! ❤️ ❤️🥰❤️ S and M SQUAD IS THE BEST!!! ❤️🥰❤️

I love watching videos with you. Especially when they are from when I was young.

What a cool, cool voice he had.

Listen to don't let the sun catch you crying gerry and the pacemakers so beautiful

My favorites are "I Like It" and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying."

Great song and group of the 1960's check out their other hit song Don't let the sun catch you crying that is another banger

And stay he did. RIP Gerry.

I was 13 when this came out another great song from then was I’m into something good by Herman’s hermits

My sister and I once took a ferry across the Mersey river when we visited Liverpool and we sang this song while we were on the ferry. It was fun.

Gerry Marsden died 11 months ago at age 79. He and that other group put Liverpool on the map.

Another British group that were popular at the time of the Beatles.

I saw this group at the Cavern club in Liverpool together with the Beatles in 1962, great memories!

Merseyshire, the county of the Mersey River in the song, was home to many groups who put a particularly harmonic and melodic stamp on 1960’s, “British Invasion” rock and roll.

Loved them. So sad Gerry passed away recently. Great songwriter and unique, calming voice.

I was kid when this was on the radio...Great, great song...

they play this on the ferry to this day great song thanks for the react RIP gerry its liverpool.

Gerry sang the song which became the anthem for Liverpool Football Club 'You'll never walk alone.' Gerry who sadly died this year also did something the Beatles could not manage.His 1st 3 records went to No.1 in the UK charts. Great singer lovable person.Thanks Gerry

"How do you do "by Gerry, you will enjoy 😎 thanks 🏹

Billboard Hot 100 chart .. a beautiful 1965 Summer song

"You'll never walk alone", probably the most popular sports anthem world wide

Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying is another fantastic song by Gerry & The Pacemakers … as soon as their songs are played I remember all the words to the songs! I was a teen when the British Invasion began & man there are so many beautiful songs from these young bands from 🇬🇧!! Some you will need tissues !

Gerry made some great music. He passed away back in January.

You guys are a great couple you bring a lot of love and positivity. I want you to try several Herman’s hermits songs they actually knocked the Beatles out of first place a few times. 2 songs in particular to check called listen people and the other is called it’s a kind of hush to beautiful songs that were big. Another one is Mrs. Brown you got a lovely daughter. God bless you two you are a credit to your generation you understand good music.

In the end they're talking about the late Brian Epstein, whom also managed The Beatles

The Mersey beat, emanating from Liverpool, England, was the foundation for the British Invasion of the American music scene, beginning with the Beatles in 1964. Goodbye to innocence and conformity - hello to change. The 1960s were all about change (Vietnam, Civil Rights, Hippies, Drugs, Feminism, loud colors, etc., etc.)

All this early to mid 60's music is the soundtrack to my youth!

Yes! Been waiting for someone to react to this! Love this song so much! TY!

It's Gerry pronounced ''Jerry'' and they came from the part of the world as The Beatles and even had the same management and record producing team.

I was 5 yes old when this song was realised. It another great song from the Merseybeat and along with the Beatles, Cilla Black etc. It is another song from the iconic sixties. It is about his love of Liverpool and the River Mersey in NW England. It brings back such good memories for me, as a child. Things were so much simpler back then. I am now 63 and brings a tear to my eye.

You guys should try "We Five - You Were On My Mind", it's the same time-frame.

This song is from a film Gerry and the Pacemakers made which as a child I went to see. The Mersey is the main river that flows in front of Liverpool. He lived on Merseyside / Liverpool for all his life.

RIP Gerry Marsden 3/1/21.

Great orchestration.

I was in a band when this came out and we covered it. Such a beautiful song.

This song takes me back to middle school (Jr high) waking up to this song on my radio

I always loved this song and performed it many times over the years.

Shiver down my neck every time, love this song

In case anyone doesn’t know, Mersey is the River Mersey which flows past Liverpool.

What a great sound... Don't let the sun catch you crying is my favorite

Others have noticed the phenomenon of British pop singers singing without a British accent. Some suggest that they grew up listening to American rock and roll records and therefore mimicked the American sound in their own songs.

Gerry is pronounced like Jerry. I was looking for the film that accompanied this song. Enjoyed your reactions. ✌🏼 PS, Gerry really did stay.

Thx! Love you guys! Brian Epstein (mentioned at the end) was the Beatles’ manager as well! Whole different hole to go down!

At the end, they were talking about Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager who started adding more bands to his business. Brian died 2 years later of a probable accidental overdose.

I love the song selection of all the old tunes you guys are playing.

I was born on the southern side of the Mersey, on the Wirral. I now live far away but the song still makes me feel about my roots.

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'. I'm just sayin' Also Rickie Lee Jones' cover of it. Both are what a love song should be. Ever since it came out, this sound has had a haunting quality to it. The bittersweet symphonic strings maybe. Always loved it, and the sentiment. I feel that way here. One should land where they feel this way.

lovely song .

This was was one of my late brother’s favorite songs in the sixties. Hearing it reminds me of him. His 67th birthday would have been on the 21st of this month. I miss his love of music and laughter. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

They were the first Liverpool group to hit number 1 in the UK with their first record How Do You Do It. The Beatles didn’t get to the top spot until their second record. When I saw them headline at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon, there was a relatively unknown support band that closed the first half called The Rolling Stones.

Love Gerry and the Pacemakers and I agree with other comments you should definilely listen to "You'll Never Walk Alone" (official video) by them, a beautifull song, made even more poignant by the tragedy of the Hilsborough Disaster

Love their sound and his voice so much 🎶🎵

So glad you are enjoying the music I grew up with. Love your reactions. 🇦🇺

Gotta react to "Needles and Pins", by The Searchers...😀😀😀❤❤❤

''Well Look Who it is'' Play that It will blow your mind ,Helen Shapiro singing

Nice song-was in 8th grade when this came out. the 60's British Revolution

Gerry and the Pacemakers are great. My fav by them is "How do you do it" ☺

Smooth melody!

Liverpool that’s where the river Mersey is

I remember this song like it was yesterday. They also made a movie "Ferry Cross the Mersey". I'm 67 years old but I was 11 when I saw this Movie at a Saturday matinee.

This song whisks me right back to the 60s, it has such a sixties vibe.

Ah the British Invasion as it was known circa 1964 starting with the Beatles …..wonderful time …wonderful songs ….

Gerry Marsden had an absolutely unique voice. Watch him perform 'You'll never Walk Alone' at Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club the n a full ground.

At the end of the video, the Brian Epstein he is talking about is the manager of the Beatles - who also managed Gerry and the Pacemakers. Love the laid back groove of this!

You have just began to study the great British Invasion! The Beatles, The Hollies, the Stones and so many more. Enjoy!

Love the 60s music.

Love this. Please check out Gene Pitney or the Duprees. You will love them

I love this. A memory shaker, appreciate the older music. Thank you

Their version of You’ll Never Walk Alone is fantastic (it is the anthem of Liverpool Football Club).

You should listen to their version of You'll Never Walk Alone. It has become the anthem of Liverpool Football Club and gets played before every match. To be in the stadium and hear 50 000+ Scousers singing along is spine tingling stuff.

Heard this song in a movie Gerry was in at a drive-in in Reseda, California. 1966. Memories.

Mersey River runs just south of LIverpool, where the Beatles are from. Lots of 60s English bands came from there.

The Mersey side of the river, Liverpool, England.The Beatles came from Liverpool too. They also called it the Mersey beat. Part of the British invasion in popular music

Scouse/Liverpool accent love him❤

Nice song, I'm listening to music over 60 years heard it back then on the radio. Not one of my favorite groups but a nice mellow song. He passed recently, RIP Jerry

Don't let the sun catch you crying is there best

I have always loved this song 🎵

Listen to the proclaimers sunshine on leith live superb tune

Ty 👁 ❤️💜💃

It’s hard to find a singer who can sing 🎤 not today

❤️🥰❤️ Hello S & M SQUAD, HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!! ☃️❄️🎄⭐️

Some unusual but great ones the demensions over the rainbow,Brenda Lee -- emotions,you can depend on me,too many rivers

In the 60s the US had the motown sound In the UK we had merseybeat

PLEASE react to their "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying," too, its even *more* beautiful than this, and is their best ever (and is my favorite). Thx again for the great music and reactions!

Theme song for Livepool football club.

I am a fan of yours! Love all the songs you play. I have another song I’m sure you have never heard! I love Brenda Lee, I more or less grew up with her. The song is “Everybody loves me but you.” Best to you both!

Rip Gerry YNWA

GOOD STUFF

He is in Liverpool at the height of merseybeat Beatles etc

Album tracks I enjoyed from Gerry & the Pacemakers were "Chills", "Pretend", "Summertime" "You're The Reason" and "I'm The One".
