The Merseybeats
The Merseybeats were a
merseybeat band that emerged from the
Liverpool scene in the early
1960s, along with
the Beatles,
Gerry & the Pacemakers and other similar artists. Closely associated with
the Who, the Merseybeats' popular success was short-lived. Their hits included "I Stand Accused", "Mr. Moonlight", "Fortune Teller" and "Wishin' and Hopin", but broke up in
1966. Two members, Tony Crane and
Billy Kinsley, formed
the Merseys, who had one huge hit, "Sorrow", in Britain.
