A short summary from Wiki: (More Wiki info here: WIKI – SEAN DUNPHY)
Sean Dunphy (30 November 1937 – 17 May 2011) was an Irish singer who represented Ireland at the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest, achieving second place with “If I Could Choose”. He was also the first Irish singer to record in Nashville. Born in Whitehall, Dublin, Dunphy first became famous in his home country as lead singer with The Hoedowners, a showband led by trumpeter Earl Gill. Between 1966 and 1973, fourteen singles by Sean Dunphy and The Hoedowners entered the Irish Charts including, in 1969, two number ones: “Lonely Woods of Upton” and “When The Fields Were White With Daisies”. In the late 1970s, Dunphy went on to have two further hits as a solo artist. Despite undergoing a quadruple heart bypass operation in 2007, Sean Dunphy continued to give live performances. In March 2009, he sang many of his greatest hits in a one-off concert at Dublin’s National Concert Hall. His last public engagement was at a charity event twenty-four hours before his death.
