"Have you heard, among this clan
I am called he forgotten man?
Well did you ever,
What a swell party this is..."

"You'll Never Walk Alone" (music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II) was written for the 1945 Broadway musical play Carousel. The song highlights a momentous plot turn early in Act II, and is reprised as the musical's powerful and inspirational finale.
From the very beginning, this song has always had a special resonance and meaning beyond its context and function within the score for Carousel. During the musical's original Broadway run, with the world at war, many in the audiences who had a husband, a brother, a son or a lover fighting overseas, found solace in its meaning and its message.
In addition to numerous recordings of the song on Carousel cast albums and the motion picture soundtrack, "You'll Never Walk Alone" has been recorded by dozens of pop, rock, gospel, country western, and opera stars, including: Louis Armstrong, Chet Atkins, Shirley Bassey, Glen Campbell, Ray Charles, Perry Como, Michael Crawford, Placido Domingo, Aretha Franklin, Judy Garland, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Marilyn Horne, Mahalia Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Cleo Laine, Mario Lanza, Darlene Love, Jim Nabors, Olivia Newton John, Pink Floyd, Elvis Presley, The Righteous Brothers, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Kiri Te Kanawa, Conway Twitty and Dionne Warwick.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" has a unique history in Great Britain where it was adopted as an anthem of the Liverpool Football Club and has, over the decades become a standard at virtually every British soccer stadium
