Description
In 1957, several years before the British beat invasion of America, a young singer/songwriter from Liverpool, England, Russ Hamilton, made the US Top 10 with his song "Rainbow" which reached #4 on Billboard's Hot 100.
Also includes his UK hit "We Will Make Love" plus many popular songs and standards such as: "I Had a Dream" `"Tip Toe Through the Tulips", "The Reprieve of Tom Dooley" and "Gonna Find Me A Bluebird" which he recorded with the Jordanaires.
Sadly, and despite a hectic touring schedule, Russ Hamilton's rise to fame was a short one and he became disheartened as he was swindled out of a fortune.
Today his songs and his biggest hit rarely receive airplay, which we at Jasmine feel is a shame, so sit back and listen to Russ singing the cream of his songs and we're sure that you'll soon be over the rainbow.
