Simply fantastic, tracks 1 - 19 range from very good to brilliant. Tracks 20 & 21 are from his recording days at 'Epic' and are average at best.
(I've given it 5 Stars because R.H was a genius, really its 4.5 stars)

Roy Hamilton may not have been the greatest R&B crooner to jump on the soul bandwagon but his three flashes of genius are ample compensation. The best known, 'Crackin' Up Over You', is a Northern Soul perennial which manages to make even emotional breakdown danceable. His cover of adulterers' anthem 'The Dark End of the Street' is in my opinion the definitive version, and pips the James Carr original for sheer drama. Thirdly his version of Conway Twitty's 50s ballad 'It's Only Make Believe' is simply astonishing: it was cut in Memphis in the same studio where Elvis Presley was doing 'In the Ghetto' and 'Suspicious Minds' and while it bears a family resemblance to those standards, its slow-burning intensity is in a league of its own. Small wonder that as the sleevenotes record, the King tipped his crown to Hamilton after hearing it.
