Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone REACTION/REVIEW

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

That was lovely. It made me tear up 🥲 We all need a shot of positivity like this once in a while.

[@blackbird8900]

This is widely considered the greatest anthem in all of sports. The anthem of the Liverpool Football Club. Google a video of the fans singing it at Anfield, awe inspiring. YNWA ❤

Gerry and The Pacemakers were contemporaries of the Beatles and also from Liverpool. They had 6 Top Ten hits in the UK and remarkably their first three records here went to number one (which even the Beatles didn't achieve). "You'll Never Walk Alone" was their third number one, a revival by lead singer Gerry Marsden of a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel". The song has gone on to have a life far beyond the charts of 1963 because it was adopted by the fans of Liverpool FC and it has been sung before matches at the Anfield stadium to this day.

This is another great British group from the 60's during the Merseybeat scene. They had a lot in common with The Beatles as they both came from Liverpool, were managed by Brian Epstein, and were recorded by George Martin. They had a lot of great hits such as "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It", "I'll Be There", "Ferry Cross The Mersey", "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" etc. Sadly the lead singer Gerry Marsden died last year.

And "It's Gonna Be Alright" :)

[@dougbright5580]

Pure music, what else do you need.

[@wpollock1]

This is the adopted anthem of the Liverpool FC - football club which in the US is SOCCER. The video is groups of Liverpool soccer fans. This was 60's. Fantastic video and a great reaction....I love lyrics. Ferry Cross the Mersey is a great song by this band!

[@mariaportengen2959]

This song always gives me goosebumps, beautiful! 🎶🎶🎶😍

[@contessa.adella]

The song was from a tear jerking scene in the 1945 movie ‘Carousel’. Later performed as a cover by Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1963 and adopted as their anthem by Liverpool Football Club and whose fans sing it proudly in the stadium. It is certainly a rousing number for those facing adversity or a long hard journey.

[@LeftysLefty]

No - the movie was 1956, based on the Broadway musical which premiered in 1945. In the early 60s it was not uncommon for rock groups to cover Broadway show music - especially slow ballads like this one. There was a song on "Meet the Beatles" - "Till There Was You" - that was from the musical The Music Man (1958). That's just the way they did it back then. This video is amazing - and it's very hard to watch it and not get choked up. Think about the power of art to make us feel - and make no mistake - this video is ART. Don't get embarrassed - the rest of us are all crying also. Nobody will laugh.

Biz this song by Liverpool group Gerry and the pacemakers was a UK number 1 hit in the 1960s it became the anthem for Liverpool fc fans who have some world famous fans including the beatles, Daniel Craig (James Bond) Nelson Mandela, Samuel L Jackson, Austin Powers,Liam neelson,Frank sinatra,Brad pitt and his ex wife Jolie amongst many others around the world 🌎 keep em coming mate 👌

[@mervinmannas7671]

This song came out in 1963 and become no.1 the week my parents got married in the November. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last year and i got this song played and 50% of the guests were in tears. Its a song that stirs up so many emotions. Many people who have mental health issues have said this song has helped them to truely believe there is help and they are not the only one.

[@sweetrios]

Listened to this one over and over during lockdown

[@michaelhoidra1118]

The song is originally from the musical Carousel by Rogers and Hammerstein (1945)

[@happymethehappyone8300]

I grew up around this great group of people before becoming famous,, A MUST HEAR classic,, Cornelius Brothers And Sister Rose "Treat Her Like A Lady"

[@deniseh8932]

play this anywhere in the UK and every person will sing along, just like i am now

[@1972dsrai]

You should watch the video of Liverpool fans in Australia singing this in a pre season friendly. Shows how massive the worldwide support there is for this amazing club.

[@LindaRolph-e6g]

You must listen to that song sung at a Liverpool football match, amazing

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Sweet! Loved it!

[@denisebell8422]

I always get goosebumps listening to this wow ❤❤ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@thor8580]

Yeah, this was sung by Jerry Lewis after his weekend, Labor Day, muscular dystrophy telethon. It was hard to find a dry eye in the house after he finished singing it.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

That's right, I forgot all about that...

[@johnniekight1879]

Loved them. My fav 45 was "I'll Be There" written by Bobby Darin.

[@garyarnett1220]

This song by a UK band was a hit in the US BEFORE The Beatles. This was the start of the British Invasion.

[@rebeccabledsoe4550]

Dont let the sun catch you crying gerry and the pacemakers video awesome song was a teenager loved tnis song. Am learning to play you will never walk alone kn my casio keyboard 35 years old got at goodwill

[@joycampbell7417]

That song is an anthem here in Liverpool UK. Sung by the football fans.....played at many many funerals.

[@stevensmith204]

Quite thoughtful and meaningful observations , keep it honest good luck

[@deniseh8932]

this always gives me goosebumps

[@williamwebb8908]

Excellent reaction.

[@guyturbide6348]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 May I suggest another great song by "Tedeschi Trucks band" Live from the E Town Song is 🎵Midnight in Harlem 🎵 Your gonna adore this song too Keep the good work Biz 👏 ✌️ 👍🏻

[@bobbartle]

Must see video of "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Patti Labelle and the Bluebelles - the greatest version of this song; a black and white video on KZbin of a live performance in a NYC theatre in 1964 or 1965. Geatest live performance I've ever seen.

[@greenspringy1]

Great record , yes words DO matter x

[@sharenwhitlock7737]

Try 'don`t let the sun catch you crying '

[@1972dsrai]

Scum paper.

[@rogerwitte]

You need to find a video of the Livierpool Soccer Club fans singing this. They may not hold the tune as well as Gerry but there is something magical seing about 30,000 people giving the song their all in a football stadium.

[@James-hd6ez]

I believe 90 000 Liverpool fc fans in Australia a few years back are on KZbin singing this in a football friendly game ( maybe in Melbourne?)

[@Isleofskye]

Then watch 60,000 Celtic fans,all with scarves aloft, singing it at "Celtic v Baevelona" and in the 3-minute video, they turn the P A Sustem off at halfway and you just hear the crowd with all 60,000 singing. Please tell me what you think.

[@James-hd6ez]

@Isleofskye It's a Liverpool fc anthem so although I have a soft spot for Celtic with the Irish connection you should probably concentrate on your team and comments, this isn't a competition about who is loudest, but it is about my team and the fans who have been singing this song at Anfield since the early 1960s. YNWA RIP 97

[@Isleofskye]

@@James-hd6ez The fact that Liverpool chose to make it their Anthem does not preclude other fans from doing likewise, like Celtic or, indeed, Borussia Dortmund. It is not as if it was written with Liverpool or Liverpool F C in mind, as I am sure that you are aware that this song originated in the musical "Carousel" in 1945 which was adapted from a Hungarian play, originally based in Budapest and updated to be part of the New England State of Maine. Not much of a Merseyside connection , unless old Oscar Hammerstein was a secret Scouser:) The idea that commenters should only "concentrate" on their team smacks of "self-entitlement". Self-entitled Scousers? Whatever next and just to make it even more ridiculous ,I was ATTENDING games from 1962 before Gerry made it a massive hit and my team are NONE of the aforementioned but,as long as it is OK with you,I,as someone who has visited 84 different grounds and been to around 1,770 games will continue to comment as and when.*** ***That is,obviously,with your implied permission and I have no Irish connection either. RIP 97. RIP The Queen.

[@James-hd6ez]

@@Isleofskye I was enjoying your reply until you brought the old nazi hag into the equation, RIP the 97 and God bless Socialist Liverpool and Russia 🇷🇺 🙏

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@richardhenderson9767]

Ferry Across The Mersey, and Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying, are fantastic by Gerry and The Pacemakers ❤❤❤

[@LeftysLefty]

This is one of those videos where you really miss out of you don't actually watch this very powerful video

[@brgilbert2]

It's funny, don't recall this on the radio and yet I am familiar with "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and etc.. And even more, I am very familiar with Rodgers & Hammerstein and don't remember this from Carousel either. I thought this song was much older then 1945, more like a religious hymn.

[@TerryAnthony-l5q]

I’ll keep it short. Love your stuff. Arc Angels is Stevie Ray Vaughan’s band joined up with Charlie Sexton and Doyle, Bramhall II , Tommy, Shannon on base Chris Leighton on drums. These guys are killer. Shit pick anything I don’t care it’s all good. Too many ways to fall or shape I’m in or she’s all right. These guys deserve recognition. Thank you for your consideration.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

This is known as a soccer anthem the world over

[@kathleenkinler9747]

1963❤️

[@stevethompson6059]

Nice reaction Pal, Like me listening to the great Jerry Butler

[@Isleofskye]

Now watch 60,000 Celtic fans,all with scarves aloft, singing it at "Celtic v Baevelona" and in the 3-minute video, they turn the P A Sustem off at halfway and you just hear the crowd with all 60,000 singing. Please tell me what you think

[@JalufoFoy]

This song was made all the more poignant by the Hillsborough disaster, when many Liverpool FC fans lost their lives. I find it very moving still

[@jameslewis3296]

Look up "the very best YNWA" showing the supporters of Liverpool Football Club singing this. I that doesn't get to you then nothing will

[@emmajanewatts4388]

I’m getting there with old fashioned love, I’m 48 and we’ve been married 23 yrs x

[@DomaBella]

The Righteous Brothers do a cover of this that kicks ass

[@paulwilson2651]

The song was written by Rodger and Hammerstein in 1945

[@thomastimlin1724]

I have a feeling when Gerry Marsden passed away Liverpool lost a big piece of it's heart. this is also the song Jerry Lewis used to sing at the end of his annual telethon for Muscular Dystrohpy.

[@maryconvey3571]

Gerry is the only one to sing this song RIP Gerry you’ll never walk alone

[@gilbertmoyes2918]

I doubt you could visit Liverpool and find anyone that does not know the word to this song.

[@joyceholt7244]

This is the anthem for Liverpool football club.

[@kevobeney5308]

Try Robbie Williams Angels and Mike and the Mechanics Living Years
