they were way corny, but i like them.

I’ve always liked them too. Interesting how the article makes no mention of ‘Ferry Cross The Mersey’.

It does mention Ferry a little way down, right above the wedding photo.
"Gerry also had success with hits including I Like It, How Do You Do It, and Ferry Across The Mersey - the latter being a nod to Mersyside, where the band originated."
Of course, they did seem more concerned with "You'll Never Walk Alone" because that is such a garage/beat monster.

Actually I really like It's Gonna Be Alright...just a fun uptempo beater.

 

[Hallucalation]

I'd rather hear The Searchers. Anyway, RIP Gerry.

I like that , too, as well as the ones I quoted; just not the "big hit".

That was one of the songs we played at our wedding.

RIP Gerry
