Eddie Lang (singer)

Eddie Langlois (Crescent City, January 15, 1936 - Slidell, Louisiana, 1985) was an American singer and guitarist. He recorded first for Ric Ron under the stage name Eddie Lang (causing confusion with the jazz guitarist Eddie Lang who had died in 1933),[1][2] but wrote songs under his own name Langlois. He later recorded as Sly Dell.

He later waxed for Superdome, before ill-health forced him to retire from playing. He died at home in Slidell, LA, presumably the source of the Sly Dell pseudonym, in 1985."
