Most of us knew the late Hamilton Camp as a character actor with a resume that included roles on shows as diverse as He & She, The Monkees, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and as the voice of Gizmoduck for Disney.
What we didn't know was that before he landed his first TV acting gig, he was a singer-songwriter who released his debut single, "Pride of Man", all the way back in 1964. "Pride" was covered by Gordon Lightfoot and Quicksilver Messenger Service, among others. While there is no actual video footage of this track, a YouTube poster brought this to the fore, nearly 60 years after its release.
We lost Hamilton back in 2005. Didn't realize he was a part of the British Invasion, too, as he was originally from England.
