About: Willie Egan

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Willie Egan (October 1, 1933 – August 5, 2004) was an American rhythm and blues and boogie-woogie pianist, singer, and songwriter. He recorded a string of singles in the mid- to late-1950s, using his "boogie-woogie-tinged R&B" styling to critical, but no real commercial, success. Egan wrote most of his own material, and enjoyed a resurgence of interest in Europe in the early 1980s. Pop historians tend to concur that his lack of tangible success in the 1950s, was down to a combination of lack of national promotion, scarce airplay and poor management. A continual mis-spelling of his own name was a further distraction; even his best remembered track, "Wear Your Black Dress", appeared on a single's B-side.
