RIP the four members of Gerry and the Pacemakers Freddie Marsden (November 23, 1940 - December 9, 2006), aged 66 Les Maguire (December 27, 1941 - November 25, 2023), aged 81 Gerry Marsden (September 24, 1942 - January 3, 2021), aged 78 Les Chadwick (May 11, 1943 - December 26, 2019), aged 76 You will be remembered as legends.
That was the thing with the 60s bands....what you heard on the record was what the band actually sounded like...no gimmicks, no electronics altering sound...just the band playing
Gerard Marsden, leader of Gerry and The Pacemakers, passed away on January 3rd, 2021 in Arrowe Park, Merseyside, England from a blood infection. He was 78 years old... Between 1963 to 1965 the Liverpool group had nine records on the United Kingdom's Singles chart, six made the Top 10 with three reaching #1; "How Do You Do It?" for three weeks in April of 1963, "I Like It" for four weeks in June of 1963, and "You'll Never Walk Alone" for four weeks in November of 1963... They just missed having a fourth #1 record when their "I'm The One" peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} in February of 1964... May Mr. Marsden R.I.P.
This version is a note for note reproduction of the version The Beatles arranged recorded and turned down to do Please Please instead.. Gerry and the Pacemakers sound good live.
Lots of justified coverage of Gerrys death on national TV today,quite rightly so. Most of it references his involvement in the song "Youll Never Walk Alone" and how it became a world famous football anthem partic the connection with Liverpool FC and also the point you make about their first three singles. However I think they and Gerry in partic were much more than these. They had the first Number One (with How Do You Do It ?) by a group when the music trends changed in the UK in 1963 towards Beat Music and Groups, In my humble opinion I dont think they were an actual Beat Group insomuch as "How Do You Do It" "I Like It" and "Im the One" and all their early stuff was more well constructed very melodic Pop songs that filled a gap between the "old guard" and the more heavier Beat music that came along,and also up til they recorded their now world famous ballads. Much the same I think of The Hollies, I wouldnt call them an actual Beat and certainly not a rock group. They were more than that. I stand to be corrected.
@@breathspray actually George Martin composed it for the Beatles the Beatles had nothing to do with its composing and the last bit is correct in saying the passed it over to Gerry and his group
@@JamesMacYT Actually Mitch Murray wrote the song, George Martin picked the song from some demos and wanted The Beatles to record it for the follow up to Love Me Do.They recorded it reluctantly using their own arrangement of the song and offered George Martin a new faster version of Please Please Me instead for their next single.And the rest is history. The Beatles version is on Anthology 1 and there is a video on youtube of Paul saying that it was their arrangement and they were embarrassed of How Do you Do it and how George Martin gave it to Gerry nd the Pacemakers..
@@breathspray yeah I’ve heard it, never knew Mitch Murray had any involvement that’s cool to know! From where I’ve read it I’m only mentions George martin being involved but eh you learn something new every day
In 1965 I was 8 years old, and I thanked God for my Transistor radio and the British invasion, it`s songs like this that give me so many great memories.
WickedTornado I was 15 in '65 and saw the Stones then a few weeks later Gerry. It's the Pacemakers concert I remember more. Great time to be a teenager.
I had the opportunity to attend a live performance with Gerry & The Pacemakers. He sang his hits from the 1960's. I enjoyed the entire show. After it was over, I had the opportunity to personally meet and speak with Gerry. He's a real nice Guy and I liked his hand shake.
Und nur das ist wichtig . Sie sind nicht wegzudenken !. Die Musik ist unvergesslich . Ich stimme Ihnen mit allem zu . Die negativen Kommentare auf diese Plattform in Englisch überhöre ich einfach. Mfg aus Deutschland
Gerry and the Pacemakers - YES indeed they played live - in front of people - there was no lip syncing - It was live voice - live guitar - live drums - live piano - live bass guitar -
Every interview I ever saw with him - such a genuine, humble man! Fabulous rhythm guitar player and great singer! My favorite quote: When asked if he minded screaming fans tearing at his clothes he said: " Not at all, they paid for them!"
I love this group. They were very unique. Nothing fancy with 3 part harmonies, but still had a very cool interesting quality. Long live their music as well.
Gerry & the Pacemakers. Did they suffer from heart problems. I remember these tracks like it was yesterday. I was ten years old in the mid 1960s. Life is to me a very strange temporary thing. Here today gone tomorrow. I suppose their music lives on ever eternal. A great gift to leave behind. Amen.
Golden era, smartly dressed, appreciated being there, bowed at the end, no software pitch correction, played with passion, lovely live sound. And I love Gerry's Scouse accent. RIP.
They really had that mercy beat sound which I just couldn't get enough of ! Ferry cross the mercy was my favorite but they had lot of good songs ! Really missed the 60s big time ! 🌟 🎸
Was only 13 at the time and still enjoy your music now being 65 now . peace and love to you all Gerry and the Pacemaker from THE TOY DOCTOR that gives out toys to children in hospitals 24 years now your music keeps me young inside
RIP Gerry. Thanks for all the great music. I love it to this day. I was blessed to see you and the band play many years ago and I treasure the memory xx
So was I. I was 13 in1964 and it was a great time for music. There were so many great artists and groups that I liked at the time. Many many great songs filled the radio airwaves. Not like the shit of today. This song is an all time fave of mine. Very upbeat.
I reckon Gerry was opening up for the Boys, same manager, et al....plus look at the band - they look like old geezers compared to The Beatles? Great entertainer though, RIP Gerry from Manchester.
@@KubilayErtuna I love this band but half the reason I check out this video from time to time is to crack up over the audience. Gerry's a pro nevertheless, singing his heart out.
This was a show from Sweden to introduce the band to the public there, so no-one knew them yet and Beatlemania hadn't reached those shores either by the time of this concert. All that would change though, and Gerry would get his fair share of adulation.
George Martin gave this song to the Beatles who recorded it. But the Beatles only wanted to release their self penned songs, so it was given to Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Every time this vid goes up we get the comments about the "bored" audience. My understanding is that this show was "Do Drop In" in Sweden, a charity event supporting a women's health center. For girls who had unwanted pregnancies or...no longer were pregnant...or had had something else happen to them. In the early 1960s. Geddit? So the audience wasn't expected to be a happy mood and needed the music.
this was given to the pacemakers, as the beatles had please, please in the works, but....thy never thought it would be big hit, the pacemakers had Gerry who had a great voice and were managed by none other than brian Epstein!!!...Great Mersey beat band...for sure!
Gerry RIP you'll never walk alone cos the people won't let you... Thank you for the music/songs that'll live on cos of you.. 3 no 1's in a row..The Beatles never did that on they first 3 releases....God Bless lad..
My grandma took me to watch these live in concert when i was three and i was dancing in the isles with my older sister im 29 and still havent forgot love them and so did my grandma.
RIP Gerry Marsden. Kids back at that time looked so pure because parents wouldn't permit them to get tattooed and pierced because they were parents, not their buddy or the "cool parent"
Awww ❤ I used to adore this short & sweet song, it made me unexplicably happy. Then at a certain point I shared it with someone I shouldn't've (together with my heart, of all things...) and it took me a while to be able to enjoy it again. Today I remembered it all of a sudden and it brought me so much unadulterated, pure joy. If I had a tail I'd desperately, joyfully wave it. This song is tiny-magical!
Actually this song was written by Mitch Murray, and was picked up by The Beatles producer George Martin for being recorded by the group, This first version was never published until Beatles Anthology ;)
@@docsavage8640 Do you think 🤔 we could hear you sing? Perhaps any songs you have written that over a century later live on? Gerry Marsed was very good at what he did, was not a jerk and his composed music hits, have continued to be loved.
the beatles never hated this song, their style was different and were correct when they said Gerry would do it justice, with his great voice without a harmony, he proved them correct....Love you Marsden for always not forgetting where you came from....Gerald!
This version has a lot more “pep” than the Beatles early studio version, pretty obviously because this group actually seem to LIKE this song, and the Beatles did not. Speaking as a professional musician, liking the tunes you play is the all-important first step to performing them well. I’m glad a band finally did popularize this nice little song.
Even after the Beatles chose instead to release "Love Me Do" as their first single in October 1962 (both that and their version of "How Do You Do It?" were recorded on September 4, 1962, with Ringo Starr drumming), their producer George Martin still had high hopes they would release their version of this song, this time as their second single, but they again declined and instead released "Please Please Me." Fortunately, not all was lost for Sir George, who then gave "How Do You Do It?" to the Pacemakers, also producing their version. Neither "Love Me Do" nor "How Do You Do It?" were US chart hits until 1964; the former went all the way to number one late that May, while the latter hit number nine four months later.
I was a teen in the early 60's and it was amazing how the avalanche of Brit pop came smashing onto the scene out of nowhere..:)...PS- and although groups and singers from that era have become household names, it always saddens me a bit to think that the songwriters of most of those great songs are completely unknown, we don't even know their names, maybe somebody should write a book to set that right..:)
Thanks Bill, and another thing I've often wondered is who exactly did what in the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team?..I mean, which of them came up with the actual tune and melody, and which one attached the lyrics to the tune?..I think in later years McCartney claimed most of the credit for all their songs, but I don't know if he wrote the tunes AND the lyrics, in which case we're left wondering what did Lennon actually contribute?
Written by Mitch Murray. George Martin played the song to the Beatles but they didn't like it. Here's a piece of trivia, Mitch Murray sang lead on that demo record. His backing band was The Dave Clark Five.
Um dos maiores conjuntos vocais da época, são diferenciados no tocar e cantar, possuem estilo próprios. assisti aqui no Brasil o filme que terminou consagrando os mesmos, isso no saudoso Cine Rex, da rua dos Andradas ou mesmo rua da praia como é conhecida aqui em Porto Alegre, capital do Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil, - isso foi nos idos de 1966 ou 1967, nao lembro bem o ano, mas nunca esqueci, etc., maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.
How the hell does Gerry Marsden have different singing and speaking voices? I'm genuinely amazed how powerful his singing voice is compared to when he normally talks
If the Beatles hadn't come along he would become as big. Liverpool was the stage for all the famous groups. The Mersey Beats. The Searchers. Billy J. kramer. Cilla Black.etc. etc. etc...
Two guys called Marsden (brothers Gerry & Fred) and two guys called Les (Maguire and Chadwick)... the band was a tight live unit which made them very popular at the gigs in Liverpool area. There would be around 250 bands playing in those days, all out every weekend, some playing 3 shows a night. You had to be really good to stand out in the company of so many top bands in Liverpool in those days.
RIP the four members of Gerry and the Pacemakers

That was the thing with the 60s bands....what you heard on the record was what the band actually sounded like...no gimmicks, no electronics altering sound...just the band playing
I absolutely love Gerry's Liverpudlian accent. It's so charming, and he (along with the rest of the Pacemakers) were extremely talented.

Such a lovely audience...

He was really fantastic r i.p. Gerry. You have been my favorite lead singer. I will surely miss you
Gerry and the boys could really sell a tune. Don't let the Sun catch you crying, etc. Pop at its best.
Hardly its best. Mediocrity.

They knew the song was a hit but they also knew it was corny crap. That's why the Beatles are still on top and these guys are just a footnote
Not Please, Please Me but Love Me Do. George Martin produced both and Epstein had nothing to do with it.
We lost so many in the last year...RIP Gerry
Grateful to have seen Gerry Marsden and The Pacemakers 3 times in concert in Detroit. This music is the greatest.
There is not much information online about their U.S. concert dates. Any details to share?
No fakery, just playing and singing..
