Paul Ryan (singer)

Paul Ryan (24 October 1948 [ [http://www.bittersuiteband.com/music_birthdays-october.htm Bittersuiteband.com] ] — 29 November 1992) was an English singer, songwriter and record producer.

Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Paul and his twin brother, Barry Ryan, were the sons of the singer, Marion Ryan, and had some success as a singing duo during the 1960s. However, the stress of public attention caused Paul to retreat into the background [ [http://www.geocities.com/badcatrecords/RYANpaul.htm Geocitiers.com/badcatrecords] ] while Barry went solo. Paul Ryan wrote Barry's 1968 hit, "Eloise", the 1971 hit "Who Put The Lights Out?" for Dana and another of his songs, "I Will Drink the Wine", was a UK hit single for Frank Sinatra.

The new wave band, The Damned, reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart in 1986, with their version of "Eloise".

He died of cancer at the age of 44. [ [http://www.alexgitlin.com/ryan.html Alexgitlin.com] ]
