Gerry & The Pacemakers "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@Mariah-ms5eo]

Sorry, but I can't stop crying after hearing this for the millionth time. I am 73 and these were some of the best times for music.

Never heard of them first time listener. Found a cassette tape of their greatest hits in my garage from a previous owner. So cool!! I am 50 years old but I can definitely enjoy a timeless classic group like this

Ich such nicht . Das waren meine beste Zeiten meines Mannes und meine . Der leide seit einem Jahr nicht mehr unter uns ist . Er war 57 - zig . Ich bin es auch . Es ist nicht die Frage des Alters . Sondern der Gefühle . Ich bin bei Ihnen Hochatungsvoll Gabriele aus Deutschland .

Mariah, 60s music was my life and I would love to have it all again. Fortunately KZbin let’s us relive songs from those great days, and until someone invents a time-machine we have to smile and be thankful for what we have. With some imagination we can watch the box in the corner of our rooms and everything is as it was!

This was live. Jerry Marsden had a truly distinct and beautiful voice, and this song along with Ferry Crossed the Mersey are gems. Imagine writing songs like that!

[@billlewis8295]

He was singing and strumming live to a backing track. There was no orchestra behind him, and the Pacemakers were not miked. But what a great tune.

[@andydixon2980]

They could all perform live in those days.

[@robertrodes1546]

And "You'll Never Walk Alone." That one is certainly the most often covered of the three, since it gets performed about twice a week at Anfield during football season. :)

[@oldiesgeek454]

@billiewiss. It appears to me the Strings were on a backtrack recording. 😊

[@doctorcotton]

Let it also be said that Gerry's rendition here is one of the best live performances of a rock tune you'll ever encounter, paying fidelity not only to the melody but to the lyrics as well. Such a poignant and beautiful song, anchored irrevocably to a particular time and place--early Anglo-American boomers--by its unselfconscious reference to "every girl and boy". I hadn't heard that Gerry had passed. He's one of the immortals.

[@michaelsolomons1456]

Such a beautiful sung so so powerful thinking of you and yours Jerry

[@thom6746]

"But stop your crying when the buhds sing!" Beautifully sung. Who wouldn't want Gerry singing this song of encouragement to them after a sad event? When this song came out, it was a hit, but was soon forgotten in the avalanche of great songs during the British invasion. But with time, it has become an evergreen solid classic, as fresh today as the day it came out. George Martin's tasteful and soothing orchestration brings out the beauty of the song.

RIP Gerry Marsden. This was such a great song to go with crying one's eyes out over a broken heart. I was in my early teens when the British Invasion hit the USA, and Gerry & the Pacemakers sounded so good over my little transistor radio. So long ago in worldly time, but sometimes the memories of those days rise up so fresh in my heart that they could be happening today.

[@Mr1963corvette]

I can relate. I was a young crewcut lad of only 9 when I first heard the docent beautiful tones of Gerry in Izmir Turkey in early 1964. I was mesmerized by him and John Lennon of the Beatles. They both played Rickenbacker guitars and held them high center chest. They were so damn unique. This music got me through moving every three years as a military brat.

This song is haunting, as I was a child or juvenile and in Chicago in the mid 60s, hearing it on the old zenith radio wooden box,(brings me back to the yesterday to years when the world was a different place)😱 actually kind of spooky, because I remember looking out of our second floor apartment building at 2 o’clock in the morning or so when there is very little cars on the street(and this was in a major city in the late 60s) and hearing this song on the radio ain’t looking over on the bed seeing my mom sleeping. As I played with a little green army man that I had.
