George Hamilton IV (born July 19, 1937, Winston-Salem, North Carolina) is an American country musician. He began performing in the late 1950s as a teen idol, later switching to pop-country and folk music. On June 18, 1956, while a 19-year-old student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Hamilton recorded "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" for Chapel Hill record label, Colonial Records. The song, written by John D. Loudermilk, climbed to number 6 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart. By 1960, "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" had attained gold record status for ABC-Paramount (which had acquired the song from Colonial). The B-side of the record, "If You Don't Know", revealed Hamilton's ambitions to be a country singer. In late 1959, Hamilton moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee to further his work as a country musician. On February 8, 1960, Hamilton officially became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Later that same year, he began recording for RCA Records, having been signed by Chet Atkins. Hamilton's breakthrough hit was the 1961 song "Before This Day Ends". His biggest hit came two years later with "Abilene", another song penned by Loudermilk. The song spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's country singles chart and reached the Top 20 of the Hot 100. The success of "Abilene" was followed with the song "Fort Worth, Dallas Or Houston" (a Top 5 hit in late 1964). By the mid-1960s, Hamilton's music began showing a decidedly folk influence. This was especially evident .... + Informações

( George Hamilton IV- China Doll ) Sometimes I go down to old China town, And just walk around just wander around, Where amber lights gleam and blue shadows fall, Just dreaming a dream of my China doll, A silk Chinese coat a little blue pants caral pink lips and tiny pale hands, Oh my China doll my lonely tears fall, I'll never forget you never forget you my China doll, Sometimes I go down and just hang around, And just hang around a boat China bound, And I'd give the word to just leave it all, And sail on that boat to my China doll.. + Informações

NATIVIDAD (THE NATIVITY) (Bob Ferguson) George Hamilton IV - 1970 In the fields (In the fields) Where the shepherds rested by night Came a light (Came a light) That dazzled them all, it was shining so bright In the east there were wise men watching a star They proclaimed, "In a manger in Bethleham There would be born a new King" The wise men mounted their camels and followed the star (Hallelujah) The Shepherds bowed before a heavenly choir All nature sang, proclaiming earth's greatest hour (Hallelujah) Let love begin, peace on earth, goodwill to men In a stable, for there was no room in the inn Was a manger (Was a manger) With a couple adoring an infant within Gathered round (Gathered round) Were the wise men come from afar They proclaimed that the babe in the manger Was born to be the new King. He brought to earth the message of brotherly love (Hallelujah) A hope for peace sent by His Father above No greater love can anyone ever send (Hallelujah) Than He who said "Peace on earth, goodwill to men" Than He who said "Peace on earth, goodwill to men". + Informações
