Georgie Dann

Georgie Dann (born 14 January 1940 in Paris), is a French singer based in Spain. He studied for eight years at the Conservatoire de Paris and developed his artistic career in Spain starting in the 1970s, focusing on summer hits, in addition to getting his Master's degree.

At times censored in Francoist Spain and possessing (for the time) a provocative and daring countenance, Georgie Dann became tremendously popular with songs featuring very catchy lyrics. Year after year, in an almost systematic fashion, he was to be found on the list of top-selling artists in Spain.

During the 1960s, 70s and 80s, his songs were played on the radio stations and by live bands at parties across the country.

A successful artist, another group (La Banda del Capitan Canalla) decided to pay homage to him with their song "Que vuelva ya Georgie Dann" in 2003.
