The first group to have three number ones hits with their first 3 singles.

RIP Gerry

Seems strange seeing that people of my era are now in their 70's, they all seem to be frozen as young men in my memory. Gerry and the Pacemakers was one of the groups that my boyfriend, now my husband, and I saw performing in Liverpool in the early 1960's and it seems like only yesterday.

Rest in peace Jerry, your iconic songs will live on.

I always loved that You'll Never Walk Alone was the central theme to my mother's favourite musical Carousel.

RIP Gerry.

I had all of his singles back then, at a very exciting time in pop music, when Liverpool music and Tamla Motown music predominated.

I loved 'You'll Never Walk Alone', but my favourite was 'Ferry Cross The Mersey'.

Well done, Gerry and rest in peace.

Another one from my youth gone. :(

It’s funny that despite their great rivals The Beatles being the ones to go on and conquer the world, in Liverpool today it’s Gerry and the Pacemakers you hear playing most often, whether it’s YNWA at Anfield on a Saturday, or Ferry Cross the Mersey every time one of them arrives at the Pier Head. This bloke has provided the soundtrack to a city’s life, and that’s a fitting epitaph. RIP Gerry.
