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.

gollark: That reminds me, I should check if Dan merged my one line fix to the repeater crash.
gollark: ... amazingly, people are *not always available to hear your every request*!
gollark: Fine...
gollark: Wait, string.dump could work, I guess.
gollark: I originally tried `load` with an env table for the sandbox, but that failed horribly for some reason. Basically, while functions I explicitly redefined were fine, anything depending on them kept the old values somehow.
