This guy is truly amazing, you may be surprised he has done all of these.
Hello fellow music buffs,
Here is someone that many people don't know about. One of the most under-rated people in rock and roll.
Someone brought up the group he was in, in another thread.
Who is it?
Russ Ballard was a member of Argent, and an awesome writer.
Yet, many people have no idea who he is.
It's not like he wrote one or two decent songs, he wrote tons.
Now, I'm not saying he's a Lennon & McCartney, but he is clearly deserving of more recognition for his talents.
My apologies for putting SO many videos in one post, but I think it's the only way to give a brief overview of his career.
Kiss' version of the Argent song...
The original version of the song made popular by Three Dog Night
Another Ballard song, also covered by Head East
My favorite version is done by Ace Frehely, but here is an earlier version by Hello
Oh, and Ballard wrote a few more hits, too, like...
And this one from America
Plus this song by Frida (previously of ABBA)
And here's my favorite solo song of Ballard's as done by Ballard
Rock on!
Michael
