Interview with Russ Hamilton Part 1

Part 1 interview with Russ Hamilton by Dr. Lee Yan San in 1999. Russ was the first Liverpool artist to have a big hit in the US before the Beatles. His song "Rainbow" reached number 3 in the US chart. He also had a big hit "We Will Make Love" in UK and Asia and was very popular in Malaysia and other part of Asia. He was my favourite singer especially during my high school days and I have all his records. His music is still being sought of in Malaysia. On my own initiative, I did the interview with him for RTM Radio 4's very popular regular Sunday night program produced by a very well known D.J. Reezal who introduced me to his listeners. Russ Hamilton became a close friend of mine. Russ had since passed on. This is a tribute to my friend, Russ Hamilton.

Thanks Dr Lee for this interview. I am a 63 year old retiree from Singapore and grew up with Russ Hamilton' songs - all of them. I remember those Friday nights happily listening to these songs on Rediffusion looking forward to the weekend. Also remember singing "We will make love" in class after the exams. Of couse at the age of 9 in 1957, I had no idea what "making love" means.LOL!! Can't help teary remembering the past. Chanpk
