Elvis Gave His Hero a Song - Then Kept Sending Something to His Widow

Elvis Presley entered American Sound Studio with a song he was considering for himself. Instead, according to surviving accounts, he offered it to Roy Hamilton., a singer whose voice had influenced him years before fame. Using Roy’s rare 1968 interview, Reggie Young’s recollection and deeply personal testimony from Roy Hamilton Jr., this film reconstructs their brief meeting, the meaning of “Angelica,” and the private action Roy’s family remembered after tragedy struck. It also reveals the hit Roy once gave away to another singer., years before Elvis made a remarkably similar choice for him. #ElvisPresley #RoyHamilton #RetroSecrets
