Eddie Dean (born Edgar Dean Glosup, July 9, 1907 – March 4, 1999)[1] was an American Western singer and actor whom Roy Rogers and Gene Autry termed the best cowboy singer of all time.[2] Dean was best known for "I Dreamed of a Hill-Billy Heaven" (1955), which became an even greater hit for Tex Ritter in 1961.[3] Dean charted twice on the US Country charts; "One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)" peaked at #11 in 1948 and "I Dreamed of a Hill-Billy Heaven" peaked at #10 in 1955. Dean co-wrote both songs. Dean charted again with the song "Way Out Yonder" in 1955.[4]
