You may not know this song I had on my mixtape but I really liked it…and many years later, I got to know the man who recorded it and I really liked him, too. From 1967, it's Hamilton Camp with "Here's To You."
That same year, Hamilton was a scene-stealing regular on a great TV sitcom called He and She that deserved many more seasons than the one it had. I only knew him from there; didn't know he was something of an ever-growing legend in the world of folk music; didn't know he was a skilled actor and improvisational comedian. He was just one of those guys who did so many things well that it was hard to pin one label on him.
This record of his was never a big hit but they played it on KHJ now and then and I not only saved the tape I made off the air, I went out and bought the album it was on. I still have it and now it's signed by him. Hope you like it…
