A lot of Gerry Marsden's songs tug at the heart strings, and that's because he bares his soul when he sings. I met him once, what a lovely guy. RIP Gerry
No disrespect intended to Sir George Martin, but Brian Epstein was really 'the fifth Beatle'. Without him, there would never have been The Beatles' Beatlemania or their headlining mega success as was. After he died, albeit exacerbated by other factors, without his guidance and management they self-imploded and the greatest band in history were no more within two years. They were lucky and so were we that he visited the Cavern Club and signed them. And yer, Gerry brought me here. Thanks for the memories Gerry. They were great times, and you made them greater for your presence.
On this day in 1965 {January 12th} Gerry and the Pacemakers performed "I'll Be There" on the NBC-TV program 'Hullabaloo'... One month earlier on December 12th, 1964 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #14 and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #15 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... The song was written and originally recorded by Bobby Darin in 1960; his version peaked at #79... R.I.P. Mr. Darin {1936 - 1973}...
Jan. 12, 1965 was HULLABALOO'S premiere date in the US on the NBC tv network. Jack Jones hosted the premiere and introduced Brian Epstein, who appeared on HULLABALOO for its first 13 weeks. I understand that while the US segments were on color videotape, Epstein's segments were on B&W videotape. Unfortunately most of the tapes, including all the hour-long shows that included Epstein's segments, were erased, but they still exist on B&W kinescope, which is what we see here.
@@evanholly3649 The facts are out there: 'Ferry Cross The Mersey' was filmed in 1964 and released in the UK that December, and then in the US, Jan., 1965. This performance (again, Jan., 1965), along with Brian's remarks, were obviously in promotion of the film's release. You are free to think whatever you want, but I'm not going to nitpick over his wording. 🙄 www.imdb.com/title/tt0059175/
Rest In Peace Gerry, you and your music was a big part of my childhood....you will never be forgotten....Thank you dear man 💙 🎶💙 🌹 😞
The era of gentlemen and romances. Gone forever.
Yep, R O M A N C E was killed off by widespread use of "the pill"(girls now had freedom) and feminism, (government became the new "daddy").

A rare gem from the 60's if there ever was one....
Allen Blaine Yes. Gerry was superb. and the group so clean sound. I will never tire of their music. Its a such mental, lift.

Yep, there's some truth to that. By the time of Epstein's death, the other three Beatles already felt like quitting, it just happened sooner.

God Bless Gerry ....thanks for the music.
One of the first songs I learned to play on guitar.
Gerry Marsden wrote 'It's Gonna Be Alright.' Bobby Darin wrote 'I'll Be There.'
One of their best compositions.
love his music,dam you are good
These were great times and great music, missed so much .
underrated
Written by Bobby Darin
Syra Vee I wonder if Bobby wrote that to Sandra Dee? I sure love Gerry and the Pacemaker's, rendition.
This is actually 1966
No, this episode was actually January 12, 1965. Verified on several sites, including IMDB.
@@60s70sVintageRock then why does Brian say early last year when he talks about their movie when the movie has just come out
@@evanholly3649 Because their movie was filmed in 1964, following A Hard Day's Night, and its general release was at the beginning of 1965.
@@60s70sVintageRock but he said early last year, and it wasn’t early 64 it was more fall winter of 1964
