Brenda Russell (born April 8, 1949, Brooklyn, New York) is an American singer-songwriter and keyboardist. Known for her diverse musical style, her recordings have encompassed several genres, including pop, soul, dance, and jazz. Her hits have included “Piano in the Dark” and “Get Here”, the latter of which became an even bigger hit for Oleta Adams.

Russell became a professional musician at an early age and was a member of the group New York Community Choir in the early seventies. She released her first solo album, Word Called Love, in 1976 and co-wrote the hit single “Piano in the Dark” with the group’s producer, David Foster. “Piano in the Dark” became a Top 10 hit in the U.S. and Canada and was featured in the hit movie The Big Chill.

Russell continued to record and perform throughout the 1980s and 1990s, releasing her second album, Two Eyes, in 1983. She wrote and produced many of the songs with her husband, the musician Brian Russell. Her other albums include Get Here (1988) and Kiss Me with the Wind (1990).
