From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rick Evans (Born 20 January 1943) is a chart-topping American singer and guitarist, from 1962 he played with the Eccentrics, a group which also included Denny Zager. The group split in 1965. In the year 1968 Evans and Zager worked as a duo together and had a #1 hit with In The Year 2525, written by Evans, allegedly in half an hour, and produced by them both. While "2525" was enjoying its high success, Billboard magazine ran an article that indicated Zager and Evans were heading for huge success in the music business and even compared them to The Beatles.
Nonetheless, despite several further releases, none of these reached the top 40 in either the United States or Britain. The duo split. Evans went on to a solo career and continued to perform and write songs.
