Bob Russell
Bob Russell, born Sidney Keith Rosenthal on April 25, 1914, in Passaic, New Jersey, was a renowned American songwriter primarily known for his work as a lyricist. He attended Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and initially worked as an advertising copywriter in New York. His career in music began with writing material for vaudeville acts and eventually led to composing for film studios. Russell wrote complete scores for movies such as "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Reach for Glory," the latter winning a prize at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1962.

Russell's notable contributions to music include collaborations with Duke Ellington, resulting in standards like "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." He also co-wrote the hit "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" with Bobby Scott, recorded by The Hollies. His work with Quincy Jones earned him two Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song for "The Eyes of Love" from "Banning" and the title song for "For Love of Ivy."

In 1970, Russell was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and posthumously received the ASCAP lifetime achievement award in 2004. He passed away from lymphoma on February 18, 1970, in Beverly Hills, California, at the age of 55, leaving behind a legacy of influential music and collaborations.
