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.
