The Merseys are a spin-off of The Merseybeats, a band that emerged from the Liverpool scene in the early 1960s, performing at The Cavern Club along with The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers and other similar artists. After the initial success of The Merseybeats had waned, the band folded, and in 1966 founding members Tony Crane and Billy Kinsley formed a vocal duo called The Merseys. They had a major hit with their first single Sorrow, which became a Sixties classic and has since been covered by many other artists (although it was itself a cover, having previously been a B-side by The McCoys).
