Russell Glyn Ballard (born 31 October 1945) is an English singer, songwriter and musician.

Originally coming to prominence as the lead singer and guitarist for the band Argent, Ballard became a songwriter and producer by the late 1970s. His compositions "New York Groove", "You Can Do Magic", "Since You Been Gone", "I Surrender", "Liar", "Winning", "I Know There's Something Going On", "Can't Shake Loose", "So You Win Again" and "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" were hits for other artists during the 1970s and 1980s. He also scored several minor hits under his own name in the early and mid-1980s.

"Voices" – from his second self-titled album (1984) – was featured in the Miami Vice episode "Calderone's Return: Part 2 – Calderone's Demise", which aired on 26 October 1984. The song was a brief hit on rock radio stations, peaking at No. 15 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. However, "Voices" stalled below the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 110. Another song from the same album, "In the Night" was featured in the episode "Calderone's Return: Part 1 – The Hit List". The show also featured "Your Time Is Gonna Come" by Ballard later in its run.

    That was excellent video and song choice, this tune carries a lot of meaning to me everytime I get in a scary place or that ominous feeling comes over me I hear those lyrics come to me.."Dont Look Back, Look Straight Ahead" quite frightening sometimes ive been in some scary places. That hall in the beginning of this Video looks like one of those scary places im talking about, goes great with this video. The incorporation of the TVs was cool too. loved the part where the dude sitn' in the chair getting his hair blown back, reminds me of myself when I crank up the whopper Hi-Fi at home... I much enjoy. he "kinda looks like the "Memorex dude on the old cassettes" LOL! I also enjoyed the Psychedelic attributes as well. This is one of my favorites youve done, fantastic Job Dude!

    One of my favorite songs from a great era of music. VOICES of truth, no one wants to hear, trapped among all the purposely created ruling class distracting background noise!

    Nice video but the lyrics are deeper than a tv with remote. Unless your tv is a mask in some matrix simulation…
