Gerry & The Pacemakers - I'll be there

[@robjones383]

His passing is a great loss to the Merseyside and the 60's sound. RIP

[@sylviahafez3502]

Great voice .your never walk alone .R.I.P

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Just learned of his death. I'm fighting tears.

[@john111257]

proper honest guy

[@deanmorrow4083]

Gerry Marsden has one of the most underrated voices in music. Simply beautiful.

[@BlanchFury]

And he is the nicest guy! I got to meet him in the 80's, got him to sign my Ferry Cross the Mersey poster, and had dinner with him and his tour manager. They were both awesome. One of the best evenings ever!

[@Tonetwisters]

Best single singer of the British Invasion!

[@hategreed1]

Agree. And SONGWRITER! But Bobby Darin wrote this gem.

[@ruriksanchez9035]

my no. 1 favorite music of the 60s 💞💞💞💞 up to now 2Ist century ..Gerry Marsden my favorite the most beautiful voice of the 60s

[@QueenFan12]

@@hategreed1I can't imagine a lot of people that are called the best songwriters of all time writing something like Ferry Cross The Mersey or Dont Let The Sun Catch You Crying.

[@justathought958]

Goodbye, Gerry! Your "Ferry Across the Mersey" struck a tone in a young boy who got wanderlust as a result of it and have been traveling the galaxy since. You'll not ever be forgotten.

[@manny9655]

RIP, Gerry, and thank you for all the wonderful songs that I grew up with.

[@vickykeeping7796]

So sorry to hear of the passing of Gerry Marsden - such a wonderful voice, warm and one of a kind - very underrated..

[@valton47]

Lovely talented man. I’ve been one of his fans for all the years Gerry was playing with his band. His treatment of this beautiful song is up there with the best. And his Pacemakers were a tremendous backing group to his unique voice. I miss you Gerry. Thank goodness your voice and songs live on for all of us. RIP Gerry Marsden. ♥️

[@royrice8597]

Never be another like him, the great personality with a great voice full of feeling. 👍👍👍

Underrated song! Underrated Band! Should be in the R&R HOF! RIP🌏⭐️

[@maelughran6981]

RIP, Gerry. My favourite band of the early 1960's, Gerry & the Pacemakers.

[@lzontek]

Beautiful Bobby DArin song, sung so beautifuly by Jerry Marsden. His voice was amazing, I had the privilege of hearing him in person in Brighton, UK. Such an amazing talent.

[@elmerforonda7117]

this song reminds me a lot of my younger days...brings back a lot of memories..

[@janetdavies9612]

A beautiful voice , wonderful songs, many wonderful memories ... 😌🎶🎤❤️💞💕

[@Bestofus1971]

This, my favorite Pacemakers song, is a nice way to remember Gerry. RIP

[@harrybarry2291]

I was there during these times. Gerry and the Pacemakers were one of the best. He sings beautifully with a lot of feeling.

[@bettyboop59able1]

RiP Gerry Jan 2021. Thank you for talent you brought to the world .

[@angelballs1]

I feel like a teenager again! Great voice, great memories of the 60's!

[@MEH50caribe]

This group helped carry me, and thousands, through the trials and tribulations of teenage angst. Thanks Gerry and The Pacemakers. Thanks for posting this. I am grateful.

[@krysrabin6410]

Me too

[@mickperrin1521]

I remember being in Jersey on holiday God knows how many years ago and everyday I would put on the juke box. I like it. Many years later I was a bingo caller at a club in Aylesbury Bucks and had the pleasure of looking after Gerry while he was making an appearance. Such a lovely man, although I was rather surprised a Liverpudlian drank Cinzano and lemonade

[@lancashirebomber2739]

cool story, mick.

[@lilliangood1361]

We all Love you Jerry for all the great music you have gave us ' Lovely songs ' :) x I like it and one of my fav'-songs

[@patrickryan1515]

Great justice done to this lovely Bobby Daren composition. Bobby's rendition is as equally well delivered.

[@manuelgonzales2944]

Some very beautiful music was played by Gerry and The Pacemakers. RIP Gerry.

[@louisemiller2774]

I'll never get tired of hearing this beautiful song......

[@donkeysknob5162]

Possibly the best voice of all the singers of the Mersey beat era. R.I.P. Gerry 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@ftsjr]

RIP, Brian Epstein. Thanks for all the great music.

[@sce2aux464]

+ftsjr Really just a kid himself.

[@hategreed1]

And Sir. George Martin, as well.

[@pinedelgado4743]

He just left WAAAAAAY too early!! Brian was just getting started! He had a long way to go yet by the time he took the overdose. There'll never be another man like Brian Epstein--EVER.

[@bigwest7004]

A tremendous voice, RIP sir.

[@lyjaialeicochran2412]

I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!!! I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT WHY THE PACEMAKERS DIDN'T BRING THIS OUT AS A SINGLE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INSTANTANEOUS SMASH!!!!! SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND THE WORDS ARE LOVING AND SWEET!!!!!!! NOW THAT'S REAL MUSIC!!!!!!!!

[@GroovinEZ]

What exactly are you referring to? In the UK "I'll Be There" b/w "Baby You're So Good To Me" (Columbia DB7504) reached #15 and in the US "I'll Be There" b/w "You, You, You" (Laurie LR3279) reached #14. Maybe it wasn't released in your country?

[@richh6995]

it was out in the 🇺🇸 on laurie records

[@elmerforonda7117]

i was barely ten years old when i herd this song..till now am still singing it with my guitar..i just love this song..

[@HugoVargas-yk9up]

[@LightSnowOvernight]

[@johannesmooij9046]

THESE sONGS MAKE ME CRYING. I am born in 1949. It is my youth!

[@janetmaxwell222]

Aww...such memories. I was living in Cheshire Uk when this song came out. Gerry was my crush along with his handsome bass player.

[@Tonithenightowl]

I was there, it was an amazing time for music, unlike anything we heard in the States.

[@barbaramay149]

+Tonithenightowl Totally agre wth you :-)

[@Tonithenightowl]

Hi Barb, I'm just glad I was there for it. Hope you were, too.:o)

[@hategreed1]

And certainly FAR BETTER than any shlock being produced as so-called music in the U.S. of the "twentyWORST" century!

[@eileendewell9416]

Gerry marsdon was miming to the song here

[@zorinabakah8182]

This is a song written and recorded by Bobby Darin so it was from the US covered by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

[@sauquoit13456]

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}...

[@manchu-qu9mw]

Gary voice and songs is calming. His father Jerry, makes us laughed all the years. Thanks and RIP.

[@nizarcastro8339]

Rip Gerry thank you very much for all the wonderful songs that youve made.

[@Ardianax]

nice to have them acknowledge producers waaaaaaay back then

[@koolbossjock]

NO Music will EVER replace the 60s British invasion,Nor will any year Now or future replace the beautifull time and feeling. I wish we could go back and freeze 1964 forever.Also here in America we had some damn great groups as well.

[@atheamorgan2376]

Blast from the past...beautiful song and wonderful teenage memories.

[@tommyboat64]

Wonderful screaming and shrieking teenagers ! lol

[@rosemariemanlapao251]

I love this song of 60s

[@tommyboat64]

Agree...60's were the pinnacle of American Pop ! 50's burst through but the 60's had the prosperity and the TALENTED song writers and MUSICIANS who could sing these songs acapella ! Yes, synthesizers are nice, but they mask meaning and soul and talent or lack thereof.

[@54spiritedwill54]

This is my favorite Gerry & the Pacemakers song

[@Einstein852]

Gerry is the best group to come out of Liverpool. Lucky to meet in the 70's. Was shocked out short he was. I'm 5.3 and he was shorter than me. But his voice fantastic. Seen him live so many many times. Always delivers

[@Ucha.MariaLucia7]

I didn't know.....I am very sad.😢😢😢 RIP Garry..... I was happy listening to your songs.❤❤❤

[@stateofdreams1]

Wonderful tune. Melodic and memorable.

[@philboylan8804]

[@janeough45]

i wish a bloke would sing this to me , i would love them until eternity with out doubt x

[@delby66]

RIP Gerry. YNWA.

[@geerterri]

Gerry was a significant voice during my young childhood. When I started listening to them here on KZbin, I realized that I knew the words to all the songs. I just didn't know who sang them.

[@david-lt9wj]

I saw him at a pantomime in Wolverhampton in the 60s....lucky me..

[@georgeharrison243]

Great to hear Brian Epstein again..the man was a genius!! ( malcolm Mclaren tried to follow in his footsteps..so did anthony h wilson & so does simon cowell...but none have even come close to the genius of Mr Epstein!!)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😁💖💕💓

[@margaretross9150]

I remember this on the radio. Beautiful!

[@brandonflorida1092]

Amazing cover of Bobby Darin's underrated classic.

[@carolwalker7139]

I still have this song ,I absolutely THIS SONG appropriate in so many ways.

[@alanvking]

I've seen Gerry in concert a few times now..always a great show. Love the Rickenbacker guitar played on the chest !!!

[@chrisst8922]

Gerry played his Gibson's and Gretsch's in the same position. So did Lennon with his Gibson J160E. If you were sitting the instrument would be at that height and it would allow the player to strum near to the bridge so achieving the sound desired.

[@celtica99]

I remember this song - thank you for posting this - it really is an important piece of history...it makes me feel better just listening to the British bands again. I wish there was more music like this now.

[@basilmarasco1975]

Gerry: You'll now cross the Mersey one last time and be in the place you love, forever more. Thanks for the music and the memories.

[@emilymalden3310]

Gerry is with his friend and former manager Brian now.Both were nice guys from what I read.

[@cherylcipres8620]

Thank you,,,,such fond memories :)

[@k7mlt]

I'll Be There by Bobby Darin, who also wrote it, was always the final tune played by DJ Bob Wooler at The Cavern........

[@lindastjohn5007]

So happy to see this video featuring Mr. Brian Epstein. Brian was very special!

[@TomHendricksMusea]

Both Elvis, and Bobby Darin, who wrote the song, did versions, but I think Gerry's is the strongest on this specific song.

[@TheBeatlesStine]

Thank you so much for posting! I almost screamed as much as the other girls when the picture of Ringo, John, George and Paul came. Brian was so cool.

[@joclang]

i always play this song when i was in saudi....specially when i go back home...thanks for posting it

[@alexschonski3637]

RIP Top man great 60s memories

[@yolandajulianmanlucu4531]

Love this song time flies 🤩😍

[@pgh45rpms]

Brian Epstein was manager of both the Beatles and Gerry & the Pacemakers. Shortly after Hullabaloo went on the air, Mr. Epstein did these transatlantic telecasts for the show. Those were the days....

[@Topper954]

Always go for the orginal but got to say this is a better version than the Bobby Darin orginal.

[@deadstrat]

Idk I think Bobby had a high vocal range of this song and sung it so well, I prefer Bobby’s cover, but that’s just my opinion

[@sauquoit13456]

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. Note: "I'll Be There" peaked at #15 {for 1 week} on the U.K. Singles chart in April of 1965...

[@loner_izm]

I don't like how the light shadows the other players. But I love this band! They were popular, but are still underated considering their talent. Especially by younger people today, just because they were an image of bubblegum. Gerry has a magical voice!! :)

[@Timepassages]

Bobby Darin also did a great cover on this song.

[@tomzsenyuk2003]

darick ellsworth He wrote it.

[@bp6329]

he did not write it, you're wrong

[@zorinabakah8182]

Bobby Darin wrote and recorded this song and then Gerry and the Pacemakers covered it.
