Talk:Russ Taff

Rewrite and Expand

The existing stub needs a complete rewrite. It is completely subjective. There is nothing encyclopedic about it. Beyodnd that, the article could be expanded considerably.

• Sorry, I've been in the process of moving, and this article got away from me. I trust it is back to a better tone. And yes, it needs expansion -- any takers? 1diot 03:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Russ Taff performed with the 80s Christian jazz band Koinonia; I added the info to the article, though I forgot to sign in first. Kaleb70 21:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Discography, 1974's Sounds of Joy

Not sure how to include this the best way on the mainpage, so I thought I would at least list it here, so it can be kept for documentation. I would eventually like to see the discography section grow to its own page, where the songs of all the albums themselves can be listed. Anyway, here is the track-list from the 1974 album "YHWH", which Russ recorded with the "Sounds of Joy" prior to joining the Imperials.

• Spring Time
• So Much More
• Without You
• Try Again (Would later find itself re-recorded with the Imps on 1978's "Sail On" album
• By the Way
• He Lives
• YHWH
• Victory in Jesus
• Set Free

I'll try to get around to taking a snapshot of the album sleeve, and inner-songlist label. Not much to it, but it is interesting nonetheless. --Hiro DynoSlayer (talk) 05/5/2008 13:59 (EST)

Here are the players on the above YHWH album. Charles Davis, keyboard & vocals, Doug Anderson, Drums, Russ Taff vocals & guitars, & Bob Mason vocals. --Hiro DynoSlayer (talk) 07/18/2013 18:57 (EST)

occasional guitar does not make it a primary instrument.

I'm pretty sure I've had this discussion several times. I saw him live with the Imperials and he only sang. Saw him twice after he went solo and he only sang. Credits from Walls of Glass, Medals, Russ Taff, We Will Stand and Right Here Right Now do not list him on guitar although he holds a Strat on the back cover of Medals. Winds of Change lists him on acoustic guitar and although he holds a semi hollow body Gretsch on back tray insert of the album. So While Taff has at least one credit where he is listed playing guitar, the documentation clearly states "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using" (emphasis min). So yes, he plays guitar, but he is know primarily as a vocalist, not a guitarist. Please stop adding guitar as an instrument as it violates the documentation. If there are reliable sources that call him a vocalist and guitarist, please provide them and there will be no argument. Again, stop implying that I'm ignorant and don't know anything about the subject because that is simply a lie, and respect WP:NPA, WP:V and the template's purpose.
