The Merseybeats were signed to Fontana and received their first hit in 1963 with
'It's Love That Really Counts' followed the next year by
their million selling 'I Think Of You'.
Success continued with ' Don't Turn Around' and 'Wishin & Hopin'
'Last Night' 'Don't Let It Happen To Us' 'I Love You Yes I Do'
'I Stand Accused' 'It's Love That Really Counts' 'Mister Moonlight'
The Merseybeats appeared regularly at Liverpool's famous Cavern Club
appearing with The Beatles on more occasions than any other band from
that era, a fact they are proud of and look back with many
a unique and fond memory.
1966 Tony and Billy re-named themselves The Merseys, it was under this name that they achieved their greatest recording success with 'Sorrow'
which has become a sixties classic and was later revived by David Bowie.
With THE MERSEYBEATS the beat certainly goes on, and on, and on…
