BIOGRAPHY: Brian Russell was Falkirk (Falkirk, Stirlingshire UK) born and bred, but moved to the United States during the 1970's where he met and started performing with his wife Brenda Gordon. Gordon's father had been a member of the legendary group, The Inkspots, and after a time in New York she returned to her native Toronto to perform in the musical "Hair". The couple met in Toronto and hosted a Canadian T.V. show entitled "Music Machine", before moving to Los Angeles in 1973 to become session musicians. Working with Neil Sedaka led to them being noticed by Elton John, who signed them to his label, Rocket. The couple released their debut album, "World Called Love", in 1976, which featured a whole load of famous session musicians, as well as Elton John, and the follow up, "Supersonic Lover" in 1977. The couple seperated in 1978, and the following year Brenda signed solo to A&M where she began a long successful career, with hits like "In The Thick Of It" and "Piano In The Dark". She also wrote "Get Here", later a hit for Oletta Adams, as well as songs for the likes of Jermaine Jackson, Luther Vandross, Roberta Flak & Earth, Wind & Fire.
