Product description

Dark End of the Street 1963-1969 is the first comprehensive, multi-label CD collection covering the 1960s recordings of the great Roy Hamilton, a long overdue survey featuring some of the singer's most outstanding performances. With superb quality audio, color booklet and informative liner notes. Hamilton was known as 'The Golden Voice' and forged a hugely successful career with Epic Records in the 1950s and early 1960s as an R&B and ballad singer. Allmusic Guide describes him as "an extremely influential vocalist" and indeed he inspired a generation of pop and soul singers, most notably Elvis Presley and The Righteous Brothers, both of whom covered several of his hits. This is the only CD collection that properly covers Hamilton's post-Epic recordings, featuring the best of his output for the MGM, RCA and AGP labels plus a rare one-off for Capitol. Featuring the production prowess of legends Chips Moman & Tommy Cogbill, Bert Keyes and Leiber & Stoller. Among the 28 tracks are such tremendous Northern Soul floor fillers as 'The Panic Is On', 'Crackin' Up Over You' and 'You Shook Me Up' as well as definitive renditions of deep soul classics 'Dark End Of The Street' and 'It's Only Make Believe'.
