History

Gerry and the Pacemakers were an English beat group formed in Liverpool in 1956 by singer-guitarist Gerry Marsden, his brother Freddie on drums, Les Chadwick on bass, and Arthur "Mack" McMahon on piano (McMahon was replaced by Les Maguire around 1961). Like the Beatles, they were managed by Brian Epstein and produced by George Martin, and they became central figures in the Merseybeat scene that grew out of Liverpool's club circuit in the early 1960s. In 1963 they made chart history as the first act ever to send their first three singles - "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It", and "You'll Never Walk Alone" - straight to number one on the UK Singles Chart, a record unmatched for twenty years. "You'll Never Walk Alone" went on to become the terrace anthem of Liverpool FC. Their other notable songs include "Ferry Cross the Mersey" and the US hit "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" (No. 4 Billboard). The group disbanded around 1966-67, though Marsden revived the Pacemakers name for touring decades afterward, until his retirement in 2018.
