Timeline
Bob Russell (born Sidney Keith Rosenthal; April 25, 1914 – February 18, 1970 ) was an American songwriter (mainly lyricist) born Sidney Keith Rosenthal in Passaic, New Jersey.
Russell attended Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
He worked as an advertising copywriter in New York; for a time, his roommate there was Sidney Sheldon, later a novelist.
He turned to writing material for vaudeville acts, and then for film studios, ultimately writing complete scores for two movies: Jack and the Beanstalk and Reach for Glory.
A number of other movies featured compositions by Russell, including Affair in Trinidad (1952), Blue Gardenia (1953), The Girl Can't Help It (1956), The Girl Most Likely (1957), A Matter of WHO (1961), Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952), Sound Off (1952), That Midnight Kiss (1949), and A Ticket to Tomahawk (1950).
In the movies The Girl Most Likely, Blue Gardenia and Matter of WHO, Russell's compositions included the title songs.
The latter film received the Locarno International Film Festival prize in 1962.
In 1968, Russell along with songwriting partner Quincy Jones was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Original Song category ("The Eyes of Love" for the film Banning).
The following year, he and Jones were again nominated in the same category (the title song for the Sidney Poitier film For Love of Ivy).
He had his last hit song in 1969–70 with "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", co-written with Bobby Scott and recorded by The Hollies.
The song was introduced to the group by Russell's son-in-law Jefferey Spearitt, who was living in London at the time with his wife Simohn.
In 1970, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Russell died in 1970 from lymphoma in Beverly Hills.
In 2004, he was posthumously awarded the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers lifetime achievement award in the pop category.
The award's presenter, songwriter Marilyn Bergman, called Russell a "mentor and dear, dear friend", without whom she "never would have become a songwriter".
