Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Ferry Cross The Mersey - Debut Appearance On The Tube.m4v

[@Martin-R335]

I adore this song. To me its about just losing your attachments and listening to your heart once in a while and sodding off somewhere but making it. I've always turned it up when its come on the radio. Very freeing song.

[@twitchycurtains5482]

My dad always said that Holly Johnson was one of the most underrated singers of all time. Holly is one of the best and deserves recognition. And apparently we used to play out with him when we were staying with Aunty Phyl and Uncle Bill. I can't remember that, but...

[@garedesaintbeat]

Your dad was right.

[@sarsacat9469]

I love this tune, and also The Power of Love. FGTH were not one hit wonders, you just had to delve a bit into their records and B-sides. Much love for Holly!

Paul Rutherford # 1 dance master of all time !!! ❤

[@jaggass]

Relax was also performed but can't find the footage of it.

[@robertobassetto885]

Well, it looks like Holly really cared for this old song. FGTH, maybe not the greatest rock band from Liverpool, but a local glory for sure...

[@jbranum3087]

Liverpool lads doing a Gerry and the pacemakers song. YNWA!

[@allanemanuelsen512]

Whatever became of the great Holly Johnson????

Spell it out fuck suck

[@jillmilnes7613]

Artistic license to change the lyrics from the original...

[@allanemanuelsen512]

Holly's really for the right voice?????

[@kendibble9963]

A sardonic dismantlement of the original. I dunno ... I guess I've seen (and heard) this sort of schtick too many times. I know, lots of people are alienated within their local scenes. I was myself as a teenager and young man. It's very easy to take somebody else's words and music and smirk at them. It's much harder to create your own original work in the same musical vein and convey a different message. The original (by Gerry and the Pacemakers) is far better simply because it is what it says it is: a hopeful song about the kinship the singer feels in his home community (of Liverpool, England). if you don't feel that kinship, then write a song about that. That would be quite legitimate and, if done well, very interesting.
