No, I don't have any of his albums. I've never had that much interest in him till now, that I found out he was that singer, and I liked him singing Bridge Over Troubled Water. And I only looked him up because of his scheduled appearance on PBS. I think I looked at his albums on Amazon, but I wasn't sure how interested I was. I'll check the ones you suggested again.

So, how come I couldn't find this thread?

I searched as many days as I could. I'm pretty sure I did enough days to add up to 3 years or more, but after a certain point, nothing new would show up in the results anymore. The latest thing I could find was in 2010.

Hello Libby! [image]

In a word, the ProBoards search engine is useless. I knew there was a thread for Russell Watson, so I looked back through the Other Music board and found it on page 5, last post 2 Dec 2009.

Okay, I guess from now on, I'll just look through the sub-boards. Probably would've been much faster! I think I looked on the 2nd page, though.

I have to confess I never thought much of Russel Watson but a friend of mine suggested I have a listen to his latest album and I have to say I think it's really good- I've ordered a copy but I doubt I'll get much chance to listen to it for at least a month! I also like his version of Bridge Over Troubled Water thanks for sharing Libby!

best wishes
Sing

Well, I can't remember exactly why his albums on Amazon didn't appeal. Maybe it was the swing stuff, and maybe classical stuff I wasn't sure I would like from anyone but Andrea Bocelli. It was probably just that I saw a lot of cover songs that I don't necessarily care for. I'll have to look again, though. If not, I could probably find something to download on Amazon, if his albums have been released here.

Here is the only video I could find of Russell's performance on the Capitol 4th the other night. Hopefully a better one will turn up. A hometown Olympian announced him.

What a surprise to see Russell Watson singing on The 700 Club (a Christian TV show).

Russel sang 'Race to the End', a pleasant vocal version of the Chariots of Fire theme.

Below is the link to the performance and interview.

Yes, I saw it yesterday! My mom watches the show, and she told me because we saw him on the Capitol 4th show, and I was trying to tell her he was the singer who sang the Star Trek: Enterprise song, but she doesn't even remember watching the show! But she did! I told you it was boring! [image]
