| Biography |
In 1962 Gerry and the Pacemakers were signed by manager Brian Epstein as his
second group after the Beatles, and made their name with ballads like 'Ferry Cross the
Mersey' and 'Don't
Let the Sun Catch You Crying' as well as raunchy pop. But it was a Rodgers & Hammer stein song, 'You'll
Never Walk Alone', which had enthralled Marsden since he saw the film Carousel in his youth, that was their
biggest hit. For three decades it has remained the anthem of the crowds at Liverpool Football Club, played
before kick-off every Saturday, inscribed on the club gates and always the most popular concert request.
