Larry Cunningham (13 February 1938 – 28 September 2012)[1] was an Irish country music singer, who was one of the leading figures of the showband scene in the 1960s and 1970s.[2] Cunningham accomplished a series of "firsts" during his career. In 1964, Cunningham broke into the British charts with "Tribute to Jim Reeves", the first time an Irish artist had done such a thing.[3]
