Hamilton Camp was a British-born actor and singer, who relocated to the United States with his family when he was a young child. He is known for his work as a folk singer during the 1960s, and eventually branched out into acting in films and television.
Hamilton Camp served as one of the links between the Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger folk music of the ‘40s and the singer/songwriter school of Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, and Phil Ochs in the ‘60s. [Apple Music]
Camp is probably best known as the author of the song “Pride of Man”, which was recorded by a number of artists, notably Quicksilver Messenger Service, Gram Parsons, and Gordon Lightfoot, who included it as one of three songs by other songwriters on his first record. Camp died of a heart attack on October 2, 2005, four weeks before his 71st birthday. He was survived by his six children and thirteen grandchildren. [Wiki]
