Eddy Huntington, born Edward Huntington on October 29, 1965, is an English pop singer who became a recognizable name in the music industry during the 1980s due to his involvement in the European Italo disco scene. Reaching the peak of his career with the hit single "U.S.S.R.," which dropped in 1986 and gathered significant attention in Europe and the Soviet Union, Huntington's music encapsulated the energetic beats and catchy melodies that defined the era's dance music.
Post his chart-topping entry with "U.S.S.R.," Huntington continued to release singles that resonated with his Italo disco roots. While never quite matching the immense success of his breakthrough track, his later works, including "Rainy Day in May" and "Bang Bang Baby," illustrate his sustained dedication to crafting infectious dance tracks. In a nod to his earlier triumph, Huntington released "Love for Russia" and saw a resurgence of popularity in Eastern Europe, where nostalgia for 80s music endures. Although Eddy Huntington never became a staple in the broader global music scene, his contribution to the Italo disco genre has made him a beloved musical figure among fans who celebrate and remember the distinctive sound of that era. His discography represents an enthusiastic embrace of dance music's spirited, upbeat nature, and his work continues to be celebrated in retro music circuits and by Italo disco aficionados worldwide.
