A SINGER who got his start in church choirs in Georgia at the age of six, Roy Hamilton is little known today, but his version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was a huge hit in 1954.

He faced illness early on his career and died at the age of 40.

In recognition of Black History Month and Hamilton’s forgotten struggles to produce wholesome popular music, here is a recording of his performance of the song. Compare this song to the degrading noise proffered as black music today, and weep.
