  • Rick Evans is a chart-topping American singer and guitarist. From 1962 he played with the Eccentrics, a group which also included Denny Zager. The group split in 1965. By 1968 Evans and Zager worked as a duo together and had a number one hit with "In the Year 2525," written by Evans, allegedly in half an hour, and produced by them both. While "2525" was enjoying its high success, Billboard magazine ran an article that indicated Zager and Evans were heading for huge success in the music business and even compared them to The Beatles. Nonetheless, despite several further releases, none of these reached the Top 40 in either the U.S. or the UK. The duo duly split up. Evans went on to a solo career and continued to perform and write songs. Evans is an alumnus of Nebraska Wesleyan University where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity.
