Gerry and the Pacemakers - How Do You Do

Gerry Marsden and his mates got their three first singles number one 1963 in the UK. If I have understood right it was somewhat of a historical moment then. Next year: three top 10 hits and the following year two top 30 hits. Wikipedia sez this hit was offered first to the Beatles and they did record it but they chose to release their own composition Please, Please Me.

If you hear bending in the sound, you heard right. This vid is digitized from my 20 year old videotape. Live with it.

i feel like the girls are sitting there in the audience saying to themselves, "these arent the beatles." lol

This was released, i think, on 2nd March 1963. The night I recall speaking with Gerry at the Alexandra Hall in Grt Crosby. The Black Velvets played on the same bill.

This song was offered to The BeaTles ,they recorded a version in studio,but they didnt want to release it for sale because felt it didnt fit their image. They did not write this and infact disliked the song.
