Biography

Gerard Marsden MBE (24 September 1942 – 3 January 2021) was an English singer-songwriter, musician and television personality, best known for being leader of the Merseybeat band Gerry and the Pacemakers. He was the younger brother of fellow band member Freddie Marsden. Gerry and the Pacemakers had the distinction of being the first act to have their first three recordings go to number 1 in the UK singles chart. Although they never had a number 1 in the US, they were the second-most successful group from Liverpool, after the Beatles, to have hits on the Billboard pop charts. Their 1965 musical film Ferry Cross the Mersey was co-written by Tony Warren.
