Russ Ballard is a hit machine, responsible for a lot of classics: "Since You Been Gone" (Rainbow), "God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You" (Argent & Kiss), "So You Win Again" (Hot Chocolate) and "You Can Do Magic" (America), just to name a few. His song "Voices" was used in the iconic 80s cop show "Miami Vice".
