[@Stanley42008]

Simply a lovely Unpretentious man What an era of music we of a certain age we grew up in R.I.P Gerry

[@softclay4thought]

The most AUTHENTIC and dear man you could ever hope to meet. Didn't know he spent some years boxing. This is a timeless and delightful interview that explains and recreates so many things.

[@wyatt1153]

This is a beautiful human being, with the love of God and people in his soul. God bless you Gerry for the great music. I'm 57 and grew up in tose times. Its so nice to hear him tell the strories. It was an innocent time.

[@softclay4thought]

"...and I saw no flames either which I was pleased about..." Such wit! Gerry is so eloquent throughout this interview. I just hang on his every word.

[@davidldavis5206]

What a great talent and not stuck-up; thank you, my friend for all the good years of music. Dave, in Cleveland, Ohio.

[@iancurtis1152]

Brought a smile to my face to see a ‘down to earth’ star.🎸

[@matthewmtt]

[@2011littlejohn1]

About 8 years ago I was visiting a friend in Liverpool and he had the local radio on and Gerry Marsden came on and sang a standard - something like The Shadow Of Your Smile or a similar jazz ballad. I was surprised and impressed as to how good he sounded as prior to that I always associated him with a likable rock but less sophisticated style of playing.

[@1Phoebus]

Gerry is the real thing....just as cordialy and funny as he is on TV interviews...met him at a L.A. Beatlefest...patiently posed for pix with hundreds (not kidding) of fans till the last one met him ....if you ever get a opp to meet him...he'll make you feel like you're an old pal (mate)...Cheers Gerry....^/^

[@avagage1]

[@gpirving5843]

Such a nice man.

[@frankrusso5781]

[@JacobKRO]

First time seeing this video my family came the village in Italy that Gerry was talking about St Gerard and grew up in Newark NJ during the 50s the national shrine of this saint was St Lucy's on Oct 16 we celebrate his day the society of St Gerard still have his feast at 65 once a year from about 116 yes our Little Italy comes alive again I wish I could contact Gerry send him a gift from the shrine any suggestions out there would be helpful stay well in 2015 everyone God Bless!

[@CountryOracle]

had the pleasure of meeting him when he played christchurch new zealand. he called me his darling little sugar plum lol

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

What a sweet memory 🌈🧡

[@colindant3410]

It's Holly Johnson who was the lead singer of a group called Frankie goes to Hollywood when they had three UK no.1's in the '80s. I expect two of these hits were Relax and Two Tribes.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

The Power of Love was the third.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

WHAT A GREAT. GREAT DOWN TO EARTH GUY. NO EGO HERE.

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

Na na na na na! I still say that in my 60’s 🤣

[@softclay4thought]

It puzzles me why The Seekers never toured the U.S. until 1967. Why didn't they tour with some of these other groups?

[@adrinathegreat3095]

First 3 songs made no. 1 and their 4th made no. 2

[@lamper2]

ABBOTT " LOU I HAVE A HIT RECORD FOR YOU TO SING,IT'S A SURE THING"! --COSTELLO: : What's it called?" ABBOTT: "I LIKE IT" --COSTELLO: YEAH, GREAT BUT WHAT'S IT CALLED"? (continue for 5 minutes)

[@kcuhc84]

For the love of God, please, somebody, interview Gerry about his guitars. There are so many rumors about him sawing off the head of his 12 string Ric and throwing guitars overboard off boats on the way back from New Zealand.

[@alansmyth2204]

Kcuhc he did to fit it in the case he made lololololo

[@buckjohnson1119]

Yes he did saw it off, and he is filmed playing it. I cannot recall what show, but I saw it. 👍😅

[@kcuhc84]

@@buckjohnson1119 Thanks for the reply. I am confused tho. Was he miming with the guitar with the head sawn off?

[@buckjohnson1119]

@@kcuhc84 It was adapted to fit him and the case. I think the last thing that man would do was fake. They don’t come anymore genuine then him. And listening to him on parts one and two, you can really grasp who he was. I saw other interviews with him. They were always enjoyable.

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

Top shelf guy for always remembering his friends and family!

[@paulcritchley464]

Never heard of the beat goes on. Must be an Auckland thing, those JAFA's Or I must have my head in the sand

[@lamper2]

ollie johnson? wtf? 3 number ones? fill me in someone for USA

[@bryanpalmer9660]

Gerry and The Pacemakers had 3 consecutive No 1s with their first 3 rec-How Do you do it,I like it,You,ll never walk alone(which became their signature tune)
