Never Walk Alone -- So long to Gerry Marsden

 

So sad to learn that Gerry Marsden has passed away.   Not only was he a Liverpudlian that played at the Cavern Club and Hamburg at the same time as The Beatles, but his group was also the 2nd group Brian Epstein signed.   

Gerry and the Pacemakers were an important part of the British Invasion of music in America in the 1960s.   I can't imagine taking a ferry across the Mersey and not hearing his song.   Every time I think of Liverpool football, I think of his song. 

Such a sad loss.  

Cheers to Liverpool!

April 12, 1963 -  Where is Ringo in this photo?  It isn't like him to miss out on a celebration.   I think he got cropped out of the photo and is really standing next to Paul.    I think this photo is celebrating the Beatles' single and Gerry and the Pacemaker's single.    The first two acts in the Epstein stable to go to #1. 

Meet Gerry for Real? Oh my!

Oh this girl is getting the wrong autograph of a Brian Epstein Liverpool band!   As Brian to get the Beatles for you girlie!
