Vinyl LP pressing. A giant of the R&B and pop scenes in the 1950s and 60s, Roy Hamilton's nickname "The Golden Boy of Song" was richly deserved. A mentor to Elvis Presley, and the only act Jerry Lee Lewis never wanted to follow on stage, Hamilton's beautiful baritone voice was carefully honed and crafted. His versions of pop standards, like "You'll Never Walk Alone", and "Unchained Melody" have not only stood the test of time, they have become the benchmarks of how ballads should be sung. The fact that Hamilton's music is rarely heard today is a tragedy and underlines the need for a collection of this gifted performer's music. Beyonce clearly felt the same way, having sampled Hamilton's "Don't Let Go" on the prelude to "Texas Hold 'Em" on her "Cowboy Carter" album. For decades his family has lobbied to have Hamilton inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Listen to this fabulous collection, and you will see why he deserves wider recognition as we take in "You'll Never Walk Alone", "Ebb Tide", "Unchained Melody", "Everybody's Got A home", "Pledging My Love" and "You Can Have Her" along with many more
