Wayne Cochran is an American soul singer, known for his outlandish outfits and white pompadour hairstyle. He is sometimes referred to as The White Knight of Soul.
Cochran is best known today for writing the song Last Kiss, which he performed with his band, Wayne Cochran and the C.C. Riders. Although it was not a success for him, later covers by J. Frank Wilson and Pearl Jam became hits.
Cochran is currently a minister in Miami, Florida.
