Barry Ryan - Eloise (1968)

Barry Ryan (born Barry Sapherson, 24 October 1948, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire) is an English former pop singer. He currently works as a photographer.
The son of pop singer Marion Ryan began performing with his twin brother Paul at the age of 16. In 1965 they signed a recording contract with Decca under the name of Paul & Barry Ryan. Within two years they had amassed 8 Top 50 singles in the UK. Their best sellers were "Don't Bring Me Your Heartaches", a #13 hit in 1965, "I Love Her", a #17 hit in 1966 and "Have Pity on the Boy", a #18 hit the same year.

[@patriceauffret4240]

Absolutely brilliant. The melody, the arrangements, the intermissions during the song. Changes of rhythm, soundscape, strings that rock you between dreams and the reality of an unobtainable love... The drummer is a mad man on this recording as he really set the tempo in every sections of the song. To make this song so successful you have to have a great intro, and boy it takes off as the first few notes really catch you. The symphonic style, melodramatic and so grandiose very evocative of a story about to be told.... Genius.

I love this song to bits.I think the song Barry himself and the production were way ahead of their time.
