mp3: Roy Hamilton - Midnight Town-Daybreak City Now, here's some more crooning for your listening pleasure. Singing star Roy Hamilton was looked up to by Elvis Presley and Jackie Wilson.

1957 Roy Hamilton, Don't Let Go. A bit of bliss for Friday. At the time, some people thought Roy Hamilton was slumming on this track. Hamilton had started out in gospel, with a quartet called the Searchlight Singers, and in 1954 he had a monster pop hit with his version of "You'll Never Walk Alone." More pop standards followed: "Unchained Melody," "Ebb Tide," "If I Loved You," to the point
