Of particular significance was the band Gerry and the Pacemakers led by Gerry Marsden who had particular success with How Do You Do and I Like It, but is perhaps more well known for popularising You?ll Never Walk Alone which subsequently became the anthem for Liverpool Football Club. Another classic which Marsden?s band released which became synonymous with the ?Mersey Sound? was the song Ferry Across the Mersey.
