Gerry & the Pacemakers perform at the Santa Monica Pier during the 24th
Annual Twilight Dance Series on Thursday, August 14, 2008. Gerry & the Pacemakers came from the
same Liverpool scene at the Cavern that spawned the "Mersey Beat." One of the
top Liverpool beat groups of the early 1960s, Gerry and the Pacemakers followed
the Beatles and many other British music groups on the "British Invasion" of
1964. Remembered for such hits as "I'm The One," their biggest U.S. hit "Don't
Let the Sun Catch you Crying" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey," which became the
title of a touching and beautiful film homage to their home town. Gerry &
the Pacemakers were TV regulars on The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullabaloo, Shindig,
Ready Steady Go! and featured in the legendary TNT/T.A.M.I. Show concert.
