(with biography below if available)

Dee Clark (November 7, 1938 - December 7, 1990) was an American soul singer best known for a string of R&B and pop hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the song "Raindrops," which became his biggest hit, soaring to number two on the pop chart and number three on the R&B charts. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc in the United States in 1961. However, Clark's biggest hit was also his last. The follow-up to "Raindrops," "Don't Walk Away From Me," was a flop, and he made the pop charts in America only twice more, with "I'm Going Back to School" (1962) and "Crossfire Time" (1963). Clark had a brief revival in 1975 when his disco song "Ride a Wild Horse" became a surprise Top 20 hit in the UK Singles Chart, becoming his first chart hit in the UK since "Just Keep It Up."
