The Tera Shirma Story

When Russ was working with me
at Tera Shirma he was developing into one hell of an engineer.
One day
Stax records booked time to record a new act that they were
hot on...Isaac Hayes. My brother did the project for them
and blew everyone away. The album was "Hot Buttered
Soul".
From that point on Russ's reputation exploded.
When we ended up at Motown, only the top producers like
Norman Whitfield and Frank Wilson could get him.
His track
record is astounding. Something like 89 Gold singles and 37
platinum albums. A feat many in the business say will never
be duplicated.
If any one out there
remembers the Diana Ross concert in Central Park, it all
came through my brother's talented ears and hands. This is a
long story in itself. That's my bro and I'm proud of him.
