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.
