HAMILTON CAMP
Hamilton Camp died suddenly on
October 2, 2005. He is survived by 6 children and 13 grandchildren.
Hamilton's career in music goes back four and a
half decades, to his initial association with
Bob Gibson. Brought together by Albert
Grossman, a master at identifying musical talent (Bob Dylan, Gordon
Lightfoot, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Canadian duo Ian and Sylvia, as well as
Bob Gibson and Bob Camp were in his "stable" at roughly the same time),
Hamilton performed with Bob Gibson at the 1960 Newport Folk Festival, and
they then went on to many performances together at the Gate Of Horn, a
Chicago folk club. Performing then as Bob Camp, he and Gibson recorded one
of the most influential folk albums of its time, "Gibson and Camp at the
Gate of Horn", recorded in April, 1961. Their song, "You Can Tell The
World", was picked up by Simon and Garfunkel and appears on their first
album, Wednesday Morning, 3AM. "Well, Well, Well" was recorded by Peter,
Paul and Mary and Ian and Sylvia.
