Gerry & The Pacemakers – You’ll Never Walk Alone (1964)

I recently managed to find a copy of this song, on vinyl, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, by British band, Gerry & The Pacemakers.

It reached number 1, in the UK, in 1964, but never charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

This song is a huge football (soccer) anthem, in the UK, particularly in Liverpool, where the band are from.
