I think I need to dedicate a whole new section of my website to Anthony Hamilton. And thank god for Dave Chappelle! Ok let me start at the beginning. I have to thank Jesse for getting me hooked on Chappelle’s Show. I now own the whole first season on DVD. I watch whenever I get a chance and have laughed so hard I get nauseous.
SO I taped a few shows the other night and just happened to be watching them last night when this guy Anthony Hamilton comes on as the musical guest. From the FIRST sound that comes out of his mouth, I had goosebumps. Jeff said it “he’s like Marvin”. Whenever people invoke His name 🙂 in comparison to new singers I get a little annoyed, but this time it was right on. The most amazing similarity is that they both open their mouths and this amazingly powerful sound comes out without any visible effort. As soon as I got to work I bought the album off i-tunes.
I can’t say enough about this guy, and I’m so glad I got to hear that live version first before I bought the album. PLEASE do yourself a favor and listen to him.
