Same Song Different singers

In the 1945 Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical Carousel (US/UK), Nettie Fowler sings “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to comfort and encourage her cousin Julie Jordan after Julie’s husband, Billy Bigelow, has committed suicide. The song, a sweeping anthem of hope and resilience, is later reprised in a rousing finale performed by the whole cast.

Since that first recording "You'll Never Walk Alone" has been covered by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Barbara Streisand & Lana Del Rey.
In the UK, the Liverpudlian band Gerry and the Pacemakers covered the song and released it as a single in 1963. The single achieved great success, reaching the top of the UK chart.

More than 75 years after its premiere on Broadway, “You’ll Never Walk Alone” continues to inspire people all over the world. Whether you’re a musical theatre fan, a football fan, or a pop music fan, you can still take comfort in this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, confident in your power to “walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart.”
