this song was written by gotterer, feldman... nice jewish boys from brooklyn who also were the strangeloves of "i want candy" fame- tried to pass themselves off as australians named miles, giles, and niles!!!
Didnt know that Lambert had other producer credits apart from with The Who ; this is similar to The Who sound of the time when you think though, isn't it ?
@babaloula Absolutely right - The Mersey beat and sound wasbrilliant and put Britain at the forefront of pop music, as history now recognises, and all those people who sailed out on the Royal Iris out of Liverpool with the live groups playing on board will tell you - those were the days!
"Sorrow" was written by the American songwriting team of Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein & Richard Goeteher (who recorded as the group Strangeloves). The McCoys also recorded "Sorrow" in '66 as the b-side to "Fever". The Merseys here do a fine version too.

As a teenager I remember playing this song over and over again. It always surprises me a little that now people associate it with David Bowie.

It's down on record somewhere that John Lennon said, "I wish I'd written that song."

The merseys were unlucky that there were lots of top groups about at that time.

I see from the video here that the Merseys' disc was produced by Kit Lambert - just like the Who.

The Mersey's version is tops IMO...the singing ofthe verse as a round is genius.
