This week we also acknowledge the passing of Manitoban country artist and producer Dale Russell and Three Doors Down singer Brad Arnold.

Dale Russell, a Winnipeg-based country singer/songwriter and producer, died on Feb. 5, at age 77.

Larry Delaney at Cancountry sent Billboard Canada this obituary: "Born in 1948 in St. Boniface, Manitoba, and raised in Portage La Prairie, Dale Russell enjoyed success in many music categories. As a recording artist he released his debut album She Don't Like The Highway in 1980 on Sunshine Records. A single release of the album's title track tune peaked at No. 28 on the RPM Country Charts. An earlier release, 'Feel It,' was a Top 50 chart hit in 1978."
