      He had a velvety delightfull, delicious, yummy voice, a deep harmonious, sublime and playable voice that reaches and penetrates the depths, the depths of our souls, and within our hearts, all of Gerry Marsdein's songs make that beautiful, gentle, deep, and relaxing massage for our souls!!!.

    Unlike their earlier renderings, this song feels very nostalgic and appears to be a goodbye tune. Too bad they could not continue to offer their wonderful music.

    What a fabulous clip!! Thanks for sharing! Do you really think Gerry is singing live here? I think they're all gong through the motions from the record. Was in email contact with bassist Les Chadwick a few years ago. Wonder if he's seen this?

    I love Gerry and the Pacemakers, but this song is pretty cheesy. I imagine if there were no Beatles this is what most British pop would have sounded like.

      That's not true. I just saw the British version of This is your Life and it was about Gerry from the time he was born till the day the show aired. It was in the early 80s and the host introduced his wife first and he said that they met in a bar after one of Gerrys gigs.
