    RIP Gerry Marsden

    The namesake of Gerry and the Pacemakers, an early British Invasion group with a string of great 45s in the middle 1960s. Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying indeed.

    I always found it interesting that Liverpool F.C., despite being the home of the Beatles, chose and stuck with fellow Liverpoodian Gerry's song to be its anthem.

    Gerry and the Pacemakers first hit was one the Beatles recorded but rejected, How Do You Do It? The Beatles released Love Me Do instead. George Martin gave it to the Pacemakers another group he was recording. The Beatles' version is on Anthology 1 and is even better than Gerry and the Pacemakers' version.

    The anthem is the familiar "You'll Never Walk Alone" recorded by Gerry and the Pacemakers but written for the musical Carousel in 1945 by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

    Good addition/correction.
