Gerry and the Pacemakers were a British beat group prominent during the 1960s Merseybeat era. The band was formed in Liverpool in 1959 by Gerry Marsden and his brother Fred Marsden, Les Chadwick, and Arthur McMahon. They were the second group to be signed by Brian Epstein, who also managed The Beatles.
Gerry and the Pacemakers achieved success with their first three singles, all of which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1963. These hits were "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It", and "You'll Never Walk Alone". The latter became the band's anthem and is still sung by crowds at Liverpool Football Club matches. The group disbanded in 1966, with Gerry Marsden pursuing a solo career. Gerry and the Pacemakers left a lasting impact on the British music scene of the 1960s with their catchy tunes and energetic performances.
