Vernon "Verne" Harrell (June 5, 1940 – March 15, 1997) was an American R&B singer and songwriter from New York City. He was active in the music industry during the 1960s and 1970s, releasing several singles and collaborating with notable artists. Harrell was also known by the name Keidar Syenon Harrell and co-wrote songs with J. R. Bailey, including hits like "Soul Shing-A-Ling" and "Seven Days Too Long" by Chuck Wood, and "Sweet, Sweet Lovin'" by The Platters. He briefly replaced Billy Guy as a member of The Coasters, performing on stage but never recording with the group. Harrell's solo work includes singles such as "Do It To It" and "Muhammed Ali," the latter being a tribute to the famous boxer. He continued to write and perform under various names until his death in 1997 at the age of 56.
