So sad to hear about the lovely Gerry Marsden... he & the Pacemakers were the first act to reach number one in the UK Singles Chart with their first three single releases: "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It" and "You'll Never Walk Alone".

So sorry to hear the passing of Gerry. i can remember when he came to my home to give a little concert. He was such a lovely kind man. my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

....lovely feller - he signed his book for me following his one man show at the Liverpool Phil. I called him 'Daddy' as I was born 9 months after they played Blackburn in June '63 !

Sad sad day. A great talent but what a man. He personified the Mersey Beat sound. The Beatles had the sound but somehow he was the embodiment. RIP
