Barry Ryan (born Barry Sapherson, 24 October 1948, Leeds, Yorkshire) is an English pop singer.
The son of pop singer Marion Ryan and Fred Sapherson, Barry and his twin brother Paul began to perform at the age of fifteen. In 1965 they signed a recording 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 show business, the two brothers decided on a new division of labour: Paul would write the 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" (also 1968), "The Hunt" (1969), "Magical Spiel" (1970), and "Kitsch" (1970).

Has anyone heard of Peter Abelard and Eloise? A tragic story. I wonder if this was based on them.

Whats wrong with Leeds?

"probably he doesn't live far from Leeds". You say the most hurtful things!
-
You misunderstand. My comments were not an attempt at humour.
-
As somebody of Japanese heritage, your attempt at humour based on casually and thoughtlessly using nuclear devastation as a punch-line is decidedly in bad taste.
Seek help, idiot.

Well, Phlogopit, a mushroom cloud is the mass of radioactive debris that is sucked up into the air along with the fireball, and which remains after the fireball has cooled down, immediately following the detonation of an atomic bomb.
