Earl Edwards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with football coach Earle Edwards.

Earl Edwards was an American songwriter. Along with Bernice Williams and Gene Chandler (née Eugene Dixon), he co-wrote the 1962 hit "Duke of Earl". It was originally intended for his group, The Dukays, but Vee-Jay Records, who later bought the song, gave the vocal credit to Chandler. [1]
