Barry Ryan (born Barry Sapherson, 24 October 1948, in Leeds, Yorkshire UK)
The son of pop singer Marion Ryan and Lloyd Sapherson, Barry and his twin brother Paul began to perform at the age of 15. In 1965 they signed a contract with Decca and brought out singles such as 'Don't Bring Me Your Heartaches' (1965), 'Have Pity on the Boy' (1966), and 'Missy Missy' (1966).
When it turned out that Barry's brother, allegedly on the verge of a nervous breakdown, was unable to cope any longer with all the stress connected with the show business, the two brothers decided on a new division of labour: Paul would write songs which Barry would then interpret as a solo artist. Their greatest success as a composer-singer duo, now for MGM Records, was 'Eloise' (1968), melodramatic and heavily orchestrated. Later singles included 'Love Is Love' (1968), 'The Hunt' (1969), and 'Kitsch' (1970).
