Russ Ballard

The Russ Ballard solo collection has grown over the years. With a massive back catalogue of "Hits for others" many people know him or his songs.

'Since You've Been Gone', 'You Can Do Magic', 'New York Groove', 'So You Win Again', 'No More The Fool', 'Liar'... Russ Ballard's songs are on permanent heavy rotation the world over. His own first hit record was 'God Gave Rock and Roll to You' [memorably turned into a global mega-hit by Kiss] with his band Argent in 1974, but his songs have been recorded by everyone from Rainbow to Hot Chocolate to America to Elkie Brooksto Three Dog Night and many, many more. However, with 'It's Good To Be Here', released on 21 February 2020 via BMG, Russ has saved some absolutely stunning material for himself - and also reworked those incredible era-defining classics 'Since You've Been Gone', 'You Can Do Magic' and 'New York Groove'.

Russell Glyn Ballard is an English singer, songwriter and musician. Originally coming to prominence as the lead singer and guitarist for the band Argent, Ballard became known by the late 1970s as a songwriter and producer.
