Episode Notes
L. Russell Brown writes hit songs. He is one of the greatest songwriters of the rock era. His catalogue includes two massive hits for Tony Orlando and Dawn - “Tie A Yellow Ribbon” and “Knock Three Times”. “Yellow Ribbon” is one of the most recorded songs of all time and has taken on another life as a song of hope for returning veterans and others. He also wrote “C’mon Marianne” for The Four Seasons, “Sock It To Me Baby” for Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, and many others. His songs have been recorded by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Lesley Gore, Johnny Mathis and Donny Osmond. And at 83 he’s got a hit record on the charts with “Every Chance I Get I Want You In The Flesh” by Dan Auerbach.
