It may be impossible to pin down exactly who you're looking for. Danny Boy is a popular traditional song and two decades worth of renditions would be difficult to list.

Here is the Danny Boy list from allmusic.com, 17 pages of it, but it does show the release date:

Eva Cassidy does a lovely version, but that was 2002. My favourite is Red Grammer of the Limeliters, live, a cappella - whew! Don't try this at home.
