just very simply the best version!! ive heard umm all, gerry you were and still are fab ,u keep entertaining those angels,keep those harps ssmmmokin!!
what a voice eh? I remember this was a smash sensation in about 1971 here in Australia. The guy looks nothing like how I imagined he would look. I thought he would have looked much older, but of course he looks young, but had i seen him back then he MIGHT have looked old. GREAT singer. I'm going to look online to see if he still performs.
As a 14 year record buyer into slade, t-rex, ccs, john kongos, the who etc, i thought Gerry was 'uncool', but i now look back with affection on this 'mums & dads' performer & appreciate his dated but warm style. I now own 3 vinyl albums of Gerry's! Long live MOR...
I love this song. I am very glad to find who is singing it. I love his voice and think, he is a great talent. He could have lived more to sing us many more nice song. Thank you shieldsguy for the information.
My friend knew him he lived not far from my friend in south shields aparantly he used to go in the local beting shop everyday when he appeared on top of the pops in 1970 singing sally noel edmunds said he was the most unlikely pop star he had ever seen . he had a great talent he died quite young to he was only 54.
gerry was massive influence to me made me want to be a singer for which i have been for 35yrs now he had a fantastic voice up there with the best miss you gerry and god bless you Danny mccoy
A big hit in Aussieland. No. 3 and 25 weeks in top 40 here when I was just a boy. Imagine he must have toured here? Love his voice and this song. Sadly never knew any of his other songs, till now - thanks to YouTube!
Fab singer. could someone please tell me why he died so young

@mal2pool No idea how long he won for, but he had half-a-dozen top forty hits. His biggest hit was "Sally" which got to number 4.

Gerry's My Prayer was played at my father in laws funeral which brought tears to the eyes of all in attendance.
Gerry was a class act with a fabulous voice.

Thanks for posting. Amazing falsetto control, combined with that unusual dialect; he came from South Shields.
Those wishing to follow up on Gerry's history should note the spelling of his surname: MONROE.
