In the 1960s and 70s, Russ Scalzo was the frontman for The Hallmarks, a band popular along the Jersey Shore. At age 17, he wrote Soul Shakin’ Psychedelic Sally and signed a record contract with Mercury Records. The single debuted on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand on October 7, 1967. In April 1974, at the age of 26, Russ suffered a heart seizure that eventually led him to a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ. Russ went from performing in bars and clubs to ministering in churches and touring the U.S. and Canada with his band, Saved By Grace. He has written too many songs to count, including music for five original musicals. He is the co-founder and president of a non-profit Christian theater company based in New Jersey, Lighthouse Stage Productions.
