George Hamilton

George Hamilton IV was a member of the Grand Ole Opry for decades and became known as the International Ambassador of Country Music. From his first success, A Rose And A Baby Ruth, to his biggest hit, Abilene, he strung together a long run of chart records. Canadian song was especially close to his heart: by recording the work of Canadian writers, he brought attention to many previously unknown artists north of the border.

George Hege Hamilton IV was born on July 19, 1937, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, into a family of Scottish descent. Like many children of the South, he grew up with country music: his grandfather was a devoted Jimmie Rodgers fan, and above all his mother encouraged the boy's passion, taking him to early-morning live radio shows where he made his first appearances as a guest.

At twelve or thirteen, George bought a guitar with money he had earned and was soon taking bus trips to Nashville to see his idols. There he met Ernest Tubb, Eddy Arnold and Chet Atkins, who would later sign him to RCA. Backstage at the Opry, Chet also introduced him to Hank Snow, the first Canadian George ever met. Snow afterwards mailed him a signed photograph together with a guitar pick, further kindling his enthusiasm for Canada and its music; he also admired Wilf Carter, alias Montana Slim.

Back home in Winston-Salem, Hamilton formed the trio The Serenaders with schoolmates Henry Heitman and Jim Gay, playing local functions and making his first demo recordings. Determined to pursue a career in country music, he sent some of these recordings to the small Colonial label in nearby Chapel Hill. When he enrolled at the University of North Carolina there, he sought out label owner Orville Campbell, who eventually took him into the studio and laid the foundation for his career.
