Roy Hamilton - Angelica Hang Ups
Review by Mohamed El Koudesi
Angelica Hang Ups is an album that showcases Roy Hamilton's signature style of soulful ballads and R&B-infused tracks. The album features 12 tracks that are a mix of original compositions and covers of classic songs.
The opening track, "Angelica," sets the tone for the album with its smooth and soulful sound. Hamilton's rich baritone vocals are the highlight of the track, and the instrumentation perfectly complements his singing.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Crackin' Up Over You," a catchy and upbeat track with a great horn section, and "You Can Have Her," a cover of the classic song that Hamilton makes his own with his emotive vocals.

Comments
I can hardly hear difference between Roy & Elvis. Elvis owed Roy much.
As its been mentioned, this is track that Elvis was meant to record when he was in the American Sound Studios in Memphis in Jan/Feb '69 and he gave this track to Roy Hamilton to record who was one of Elvis' idols. One of Hamilton's finest vocal performances.
One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. And you can Sooo hear where Elvis got his 'Vegas tones' from here. Astonishing song.
I'm I tears listening to this amazing voice can't help but wonder what Elvis would have done with this song
Great song great singer! I think elvis would have done just a great wit this song
This wonderful and touching song was recorded by many singers long before Elvis gave it away in 1969 to Roy Hamilton. There are other versions of "Angelica" that needs to be heard. Recordings made by the song-writer himself, Barry Mann, and versions with Scott Walker, Gene Pitney, The Sandpipers and Oliver. They can all be found here on Youtube. Please listen to these other versions, and try to imagine what Elvis could've done with this song. Probably he wouldn't have done a better job with it than Roy. We'll never know. But hearing Roys' fantastic version, at least makes me think that his "Angelica" is the definite version, His heart wrenching version of this song bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Recorded in the same studio where Elvis recorded Suspicious minds earlier that week..And Roy and Elvis met each other during those sessions. Listen to the suspicous minds riff at 2.13.
