Above five are just a sampling of the plethora (Howard Cossell word) of great songs written by Russ Ballard. He is/was a top notch performer and singer, but I believe he will make it into the Rock Hall only as a song-writer and producer. He also did noteworthy work w/ Roger Daltrey. Add following songs to above list:
Come And Get Your Love (Roger Daltrey)
it's not the Redbone song by same name
Someday We'll Be Together (Pointer Sisters)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I would say, Hell Yes! as a song writer.

Also don't forget:
Voices (Miami Vice soundtrak) it's probably his "signature" song!
