Eddy Ouwens (born 30 May 1946, Rotterdam), also known as Danny Mirror, is a Dutch musician and record producer.
Overview
He was a founder member in 1966 of the Rotterdam-based group, Eddy Nelson & the Eddysons. After a few hits he left to work as a producer and produced Teach-In, Bolland & Bolland and The Shoes. [1] In 1970, he released the single, "Everybody's Nobody" / "Every Little Sigh Becomes a Lie", under the name Eddy Owens.
Ouwens co-wrote the Netherlands Eurovision Song Contest entries in 1975 (" Ding-A-Dong" performed by Teach-In), [2] and 1978 ("'t Is OK" performed by Harmony). [3]
In August 1977, following the death of Elvis Presley, he recorded and released the single " I Remember Elvis Presley (The King Is Dead)" as his tribute to the departed 'King'. It spent nine weeks on the UK Singles Chart [1] and peaked at number four. [4] In his native Netherlands, the record made number one.
To extend this success, Ouwens invited The Jordanaires, Presley's original backing vocalists, to record a medley album of 50 Presley songs. It was released in 1981 under the name of 'Danny Mirror & The Jordanaires'.
