Roy Hamilton: The Singles Collection 1954 - 1962 auf 3 CDs

Product Information

Roy Hamilton was one of the truly individual and innovative performers of the R&B and pop scene during the 1950s and early ‘60s as he combined his classically-trained vocal style and his roots in black gospel music to bring another dimension to interpretations of contemporary pop and R&B material as well as to classics of the Great American Songbook to achieve a string of pop and R&B hits during these years.

This great-value 80-track 3-CD set comprises almost all his A & B sides recorded for the Epic label during this era, and features all his sixteen career hits he achieved before his untimely death from illness in 1969, including the R&B No. 1s »You’ll Never Walk Alone« and »Unchained Melody«, and the Top 10 classics »Ebb Tide«, »Hurt«, »If I Loved You«, »Don’t Let Go« and »You Can Have Her«.

It’s a comprehensive introduction to an artist who has not received the attention or recognition over the years that his influence and success merits, and it offers a substantial and enjoyable showcase for a highly distinctive vocal talent.
