In 1969, Pod Rogers came up with the idea of getting on the 'Glen Campbell Good Time Hour,' Russell said.

Here I was, 68 years old, and it's the first time. Well, I said, 'I guess I've done that now.' I got a little special treatment. I got to stay in an area for non-violent prisoners and all that jazz. There was about four of us in the facility there.

Some people have said that I can 'hear' a hit song, meaning that I can tell the first time a song is played for me if it has potential. I have been able to hear some of the hits that way, but I can also 'feel' one.

I listened to a battery radio, old country and pop stuff. Because I was singing all the time, my dad bought me a $7.50 guitar.

If I get a song - a good song - I just sing it the way I hear it in my head. If anybody else wanted to add whistles and bells and chains rattling, that's fine. Just not too much. I actually just do things as straight ahead as possible.
