Paul Ryan
October 24, 1948 – November 29, 1992

L-R: Paul Ryan, Barry Ryan

Paul Ryan was a British singer-songwriter and producer who, along with his twin brother, Barry, performed as Paul & Barry Ryan during the ’60s.  Paul eventually left the limelight to concentrate on his songwriting.  His “Eloise” became a hit for the then-solo, Barry in 1968.  The song found a new life when the Damned’s cover of it landed at #3 on the UK singles chart in 1986.  Frank Sinatra and Dana Scallon also made hits out of Paul Ryan’s songs.  He was 44 when he died of cancer on November 29, 2009.

  1. Hello:

    Is there any fake book that has the songs “I Will Drink The Wine” and “Sunrise in the Morning” that were written by Paul Ryan?

    Thanks,

    Paul Taylor
