Page "Gerry and the Pacemakers" Paragraph 5

Despite this early success, Gerry and the Pacemakers never had another number one single in the UK.

Gerry Marsden began writing most of their own songs, including " It's Gonna Be All Right ", " I'm the One ", and " Ferry Cross the Mersey ", as well as their first and biggest US hit, " Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying ", which peaked at No. 4, and which Gerry Marsden initially gave to Decca recording artist Louise Cordet in 1963.

She recorded the song ( Decca F11824 ), but without commercial success.

The song, written by all bandmembers, has also been covered by Les Carle, the Lettermen, Jackie DeShannon ( This Is Jackie DeShannon album, 1965 ), José Feliciano, Dr. John, Rickie Lee Jones, Gloria Estefan ( Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me album ) among others.
