The Pacemakers were the second band to be managed by Brian Epstein, who was also manager of "The Beatles.
Brian had heard the band at the "Cavern Club" in Liverpool in 1962.
Their first three songs in 1963, "How Do You Do It?", "
I Like It" and "You'll Never Walk Alone", all went straight to number one on the charts. "
You'll Never Walk Alone", first written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for the musical "Carousel", became the favourite song of supporters of the Liverpool Football Club.
They even made a very successful full length movie in 1965 called Ferry Cross The Mersey.
This was based on the song written by Gerry.
The song made Liverpool's ferries world famous.
Gerry also wrote eight other songs for the film.

The band enjoyed great success between 1963—1966, with such songs as "It's Gonna Be All Right".
 This time was called the British Invasion because so many British bands were successful.
 "[Our] songs were happy, the music simple and the lyrics nice to listen to," Gerry said. "
We didn't try to change the world."
