- "Eloise" is a song first released in 1968 on the MGM label. It was sung by Barry Ryan, and written by his twin brother Paul Ryan. Running for over five minutes, it features strong orchestration, melodramatic vocals, and a brief slow interlude. It sold three million copies worldwide, and reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart as published by Record Retailer, but hit #1 in the NME and Melody Maker charts. It topped the chart in 17 countries, including Italy, the Netherlands and Australia.
After not being able to cope with the success of some of his hits as a duo with Barry, Paul decided to take a step away from the limelight and to concentrate on song writing. "Eloise" was the second song he wrote and was influenced by Richard Harris' arrangement of "MacArthur Park" after listening to a rough mix of it at a party at Harris' house. After listening to it, Paul locked himself away and wrote "Eloise" in three days. The song was then recorded at IBC Studios at the end of a recording session with their mother Marion and they had only two takes to do it due to the length of the song. The session musicians included Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, both of whom went on to form Led Zeppelin, and Glenn Ross Campbell. Everyone then wanted to go to the mixing desk to listen to the result because it was so unusual and they said it was going to be a big hit.

It blew me away first time I heard it. We got precious little after it, but this one stands out!
@tryton111 I think we got so many incredible songs 🎵 written by Paul Ryan ,sung by Barry . And now we finally get to hear the 1977 *HERO* album, which was recorded under pseudonyms and never published but will be on the new 5 CD set released in May by Cherry Red Records 😀 . My father talked about this so many decades ago and thought it was 👍 fantastic. I am thrilled that fans will be able to hear this and get Barry's albums on 💿 CDs, including bonus material.
I believe my channel has 200 videos uploaded. Not all are yet published, and I am working on 30 or so videos and have at least 60 or so planned.
So we got plenty of hits, plenty of great songs 🎵 from this Dream Team.
I always feel sad when people are not aware of how many wonderful songs they released.
Warm regards from Tasmania🌏🦘, Tia

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember their mum. A regular on black and white TV back then.
@@tryton111 Marion Ryan yes recall her.
@@christineanne1453 I seem to recall she hosted "Name That Tune" - a programme from yonks ago.
@@tryton111 yes "spot the tune" i think which came back in the seventies as name ....
@@christineanne1453 Ah, yes - that was the programme. Didn't watch much TV by the time of the seventies. "Blakes 7", "Survivors" and "I, Claudius" stand out. Not much else.
