Gerry & the Pacemakers along with the Beatles and a host of other groups were the ones that sparked my interest in pop music in the early 60s. Nothing sophisticated but great songs to sing along to, and Gerry also he wrote some good ones, ‘Don’t let the sun catch you crying’ and ‘Ferry cross the Mersey’ in particular. RIP Gerry.

Another icon of my 1960s childhood gone. There can't be many more of them left now.

He epitomised the optimism that so many of us felt in the 1960s.
RIP

Sad news. Always seemed like a right decent guy, Gerry.
