I never met or attend his concert and by listening all his music makes me like and fond of him that awesome beautiful voice makes me happy listening.I hope and pray I can see him as his long life fan of him !🎼🎶🎶❤️😊(8/31’24)
I still have Russell's 1988 single I could only find it on cassette. Beautiful music. Russell...if you read this...you need to release that one again. It never got a fair chance.
His voice has changed very much, I learned that he had his tonsils removed many years ago, and it really affected his voice timber. At times I feel that he sings the higher notes with a big effort, and his voice sounds strained, as if he had some respiratory disease or something....🙁 but I know that loosing vocal range may be part of the aging process. Perhaps the way that his voice sounds now is because of that. To me, he has turned into another kind of singer, and these country-flavored songs fits the way his voice sounds now, pretty good. He sounds mostly like a mature smooth, sweet baritone now.🎼
