You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Career==
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 (1952 film)|Jack and the Beanstalk]]'' and ''[[Reach for Glory]]''. The latter film received the [[Locarno International Film Festival]] prize in 1962. A number of other movies featured compositions by Russell, including ''[[Affair in Trinidad]]'' (1952), ''[[The Blue Gardenia|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 (film)|Sound Off]]'' (1952), ''[[That Midnight Kiss]]'' (1949), and ''[[A Ticket to Tomahawk]]'' (1950).<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0751035/ "Bob Russell (II) (1914–1970)"], IMDb.</ref> In the movies ''The Girl Most Likely, Blue Gardenia'' and ''Matter of WHO'', Russell's compositions included the title songs.

In 1968, Russell along with songwriting partner [[Quincy Jones]] was nominated for an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] in the Best Original Song category ("The Eyes of Love" for the film ''[[Banning (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 (musician)|Bobby Scott]] and recorded by [[The Hollies]].
