60's/70's soul songwriter from Detroit, U.S.
Brother of Albert Hamilton and Eugene Hamilton
Bob's work at Golden World was coming to an end in the early months of 1966, his final credit being the highly popular I Love The Life I Live by Tony Micale of The Reflections.
Tragically he was shot dead in a drive by shooting in Detroit in 1969.
For the percussionist/keyboardist/vocalist use Bobby Hamilton
