While there are several performers on today’s music scene, few carry the burden of following in the footsteps of one of music’s greatest vocalists. Roy Hamilton Jr., son of the Legendary “Golden Boy of Song” Roy Hamilton, who recorded such hit songs as “You’ll Never Walk Alone” “Unchained Melody”, “Ebb Tide”, and “Don’t Let Go”, has committed himself to preserving the legacy of his legendary father.
