Title A name given to the resource 30 YEARS LIVE...IN EUROPE VOL 1 Subject The topic of the resource Big John Russell - 30 years live... in Europe; vol.1 Description An account of the resource John Russell (Paramaribo, August 30, 1943 - Leusden, September 12, 2010) was a Surinamese-Dutch soul singer. Russell, who was called Big John and "King Size Russell" because of his size, won a talent show in Suriname as a thirteen-year-old. He was called the "Surinamese Elvis". In 1957, at the age of 14, he moved to the Netherlands with his family. In 1959 he won a talent show in Zeist. He then formed a band with Pierre van der Linden and Jan Akkerman, among others, and won a second prize with them in the VARA "Music Parade". The prize was presented by Conny Froboess, who put Russell in touch with a record company. In 1962 he started releasing records under the name Big John Russell. During those years he performed in Hamburg with, among others, The Blue Diamonds and the Tielman Brothers. In 1966, Russell wrote the music for the film Compromis together with Louis van Dijk. It earned them a Silver Rose at the Montreux festival. In the early 1970s, Russell was asked to sing a duet with British singer Sue Chaloner. The duet, Swinging on a Star, the cover of a thirty-year-old Bing Crosby song, was released under the name Spooky and Sue. Due to his obesity, the performances were not done by Russell but by Aruban Iwan Groeneveld. After this, the Joe Jones song You Talk Too Much also became a hit. Together with Chaloner, Russell recorded an album under the name "Spooky and Sue". In 1976, Russell had a solo hit with the song I Never Loved A Woman The Way That I Love You. He also had a modest hit with the song Hokie Pokie.
