Anthony Hamilton: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Anthony Hamilton's soul sound was refined in the churches of Charlotte, N.C. Watching the Grammy winner perform, you get the hunch that it's harder for him to keep the soul inside than it is to actually unleash it. What he and his backup singers, The Hamiltones, do would be better classified as a musical purge, with a stage show that can double as couples therapy and church service. Their warm harmonies have the ability to shrink theaters and stadiums, so we knew this intimate setting was perfect for them.
Following a spot at the final In Performance show of the Obama presidency, the singer, The Hamiltones and his band made their way over to our offices to give us a dose of what's to come, as well as a heavy helping of what fans have grown to love about him. He opens the set with "Amen" - the debut single from his introspective new album, What I'm Feelin' - and followed it with three songs that have defined his career.
What I'm Feelin' is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/wha...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/What-Im-Feelin-...
Set List:
"Amen"
"Best Of Me"
"Cool"
"Charlene"

Yes!
Yep
Just found him today, Charlene is my new favorite song
Background singers are the truth I swear
+buteful25 THE HAMILTONES!!
+maestrowick YES!!!!!
Icing on the cake.
it's amazing. if you watch some d'angelo live videos from the 90s you will hear Anthony's unforgettable voice as one of his background singers! a beautiful circle
God let us borrow them real quick
Who's listening to this classic in 2024?😁
Anthony is the best Saw him on Mother’s Day In INGLEWOOD California. The Frankie Beverly Farewell Tour. Anthony Broke Charlene all the WAY DOWN 🌹🌹🌹🩵🎵🩷🙌🏻🌹🎤🎤🎤
Me
Anthony Hamilton is a hot bowl of grits on a chilly Monday morning. He’s a plate of butter beans w/ neck bones & white rice in Grandmama’s kitchen. He’s Deep South country, and I love & appreciate every bit of it. Carolina thru & thru!
The Low Country
💯💯💯 But now I’m hungry!😎
This metaphor is everything Sir!
L I love you Anthony
Gots to give you props on that statement.
His voice is thanksgiving, Sunday dinners at big ma’s, and a family reunion all in one
Sho is
Lol! Anthony is the DRESSING.... or stuffing as the white people call it.
🙌🏾😊🤣
Yasssss!
Kat Scott***********************All the way to the heavens!!!!!!
This man is criminally underrated
He should come and vet some love in europe
He is underrated sounds better than his recordings
He's sooooo silky....tunnnnneeeesss
@@filloippo message him on IG. And FOLLOW me on

3 C saw him live up close, he’s a problem!
He sounds EXACTLY like the recordings NO ENHANCEMENTS!!!! ❤🔥
Sounds better in person to me 🔥🔥💕

That part!
Am I the only one? It's 2024 and I come back to watch this at least twice a week! Lifts my spirit! 💪🏽🖤❤🖤
Same here❤
Nope I’m definitely in the same boat. This was a pure masterpiece
Aqui do Brasil curtindo essas músicas maravilhosas
Awesome Anthony Hamilton. God’s Hands is on his life 👣👣👣🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎵🩷🩵🌹🌹🌹🌹🎤
Takes me back to when family got together for cards, music and food.
Even his hat got soul
Lol
Too much damn swag in one room. I love #blackness
Haha
I swear, it's trembling to the beat, lol.
@@divadoll606 lolol
Listened to this and next I knew the corn bread was done.... And I wasn't even cooking
Charles Ham shut up lmao
😂😂😂 I'm crying
This is the funniest comment i've seen in a while yo lololol
he captured something so real with amen!!
Too Funny! But I definitely agree!
Probably the best back up vocalists in tiny desk history
The Hamiltones are the truth
Babyface just killed that idea LoL!
Nah when baby face brought Avery and chante Moore he packed everyone’s bags for them. Chante is blessed beyond even Beyoncé. Avery is same thing. Better than anyone
They are brilliant but cannot forget Charlie's Angel s. Gem u.k
U gotta hear Charlie Wilson's performance too. His backup singers have on point vocals too
The backup singers were perfect. They missed nothing. Absolute perfection
They definitely understood the assignment
Vedo and Eric Bellinger did great in Ushers
So did Tyler, The Creators backup singers
Mr Anthony Hamilton, enough said! His musical genius permeates and voice is grandiose. Add songwriting talents, blew me away. At 65 years old I still groove to you.
When your background singer are better than 90% of the people played on the radio.
Amen
Keep Onliving exactly 🤣
That part!
Does anyone know their names?
its always like that
D’Angelo, Maxwell, Musiq, and Eric Benet need their own Tiny Desk concert!
Yes all of them!
And Darius Rucker!
Kindred the Family Soul
YES!!!!!!!
If they invite me, I will show up! 🤪
Who else appreciates this man’s flawless skin?
Mr. Hamilton's voice makes me want to be loved and curled up with said loved one.
Those Hamiltone harmonies are Like butter on hot bread 🥖
🤣🤣🤣foodie love
Hot Water Cornbread
Precisely
ldyblssd :just add some hot sweet honey to sop with 😍🥰🤤🤤
🤣👍🏼
No auto tune, no special effects, just performers vibing. This is REAL music
What u saying tpain didn’t go off
@@jreyno264 T-Pain can sing without autotune. He just uses it for effect. Honestly I prefer him without autotune. But for nostalgia, he’s the only exception since he’s a good singer without it
@@jreyno264 tpains is one of the best tiny desk
Facts!
2023 and still bumpin this frequently. Who's with me?
Me
I’ve just discovered this so it’s 2023 and beyond.
2024
2024 🫶🏾
No doubt 💯☝🏿✊🏿👏🏿
Those back up singers are on point too.
Yall are so blessed....
The Hamiltones
Rightttt that’s why I love it they were vibing and he let them
Love 💘 them
AMEN😊😊😊
I'm still into It ,EXCELLENT performance
possibly the most underrated singer/songwriter ever.
John Weiler he’s not underrated at all lol he gets all his props hunny
Him, Ledisi, Alice Smith, Laura Izibor, and just about anyone out there that doesn't dance half naked.
Definitely underrated! I Love him!
I mean, he won a Grammy......but ooook lol
Just cause he's not in a TV show or on the cover of a magazine, doesn't mean he's underrated. Fans of music are well aware
His background singers are SO gifted 💕
The hamiltones they fire
Ye, they are awesome, love them.
@@a1bread83 How can I contact them? I'm an artist
Them boys know they bad too. Having fun
The Hamiltones.
It’s 4am and I’m up listening to this with my wife. December 23, 2023. It’s a Vibe
Man Charlene hit differently. After so many years, it's still a beautiful song. Talented singers.
Especially when u can relate to the song.
@@jamiashoffler5426yessssd
I was looking for time stamps for this one.
Anthony Hamilton going to be 70 and still sound the same 😂😂😂
He sound like them old men who sang in gospel groups
For 70..he looks fabulous..and sounds wonderful..dreamy..Wow..
He is 49 😂😂😂
@@Latscho799 Best way to look young is say you're older than you are 😂
Well he’ll probably look the same too. Just more gray hair and a tad bit slimmer lol.
No disrepect to any other other artist out there, but Mr. Hamilton is one of the best singers we got...
Thats true since we dont have the late and great Gerald Levert no more Anthony is indeed a great hand off to us folks. A true Gem. The brother is unik.
Carolina sole
He is a grown ass man with a grown ass voice. He's our Teddy Pendergrass our Peabo, our Dramatics and so on...............
As for me, he is THE best !!
Forgot Alexander they need a play with the songs from Anthony 😂🤣
This is definitely in my top 5 tiny desk performances…His voice is 🔥🔥
what are your other top 5? :) looking for something similar as this, love it so much!
His back ground singers are just as good as him…wow
Yes they are. "Their called the "Hamil-tones"😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥👏🏾
"Amen" 00:00
"Best Of Me" 04:18
"Cool" 09:09
"Charlene" 14:06
I scrolled through 8months of comments to click on "cool". I needed a feel good song.
Thanks ♥️
🥰🥰🥰
🙌🏾😁👌🏾💓
🎄☃️🎆⛄🌲
Wish he did more songs
This is probably one of the most important Tiny Desk Concerts I've seen. Especially when I take into account Anthony Hamilton's legacy as an American soul singer.
100% agree
yes!!!!!!!!
This was excellent, they can truly sing this live no clean ups needed. Great performance thanks for sharing
Anthony Hamilton's voice is the definition of BUTTER- It's just that good!
If you've never seen this man concert you should!!! He's so incredibly talented!!!
Yes indeed he is !!!!
Whoever works in that office building has the BEST job!
So soulful 🔥👏🏾
Word!
For real...for real....I would actually be on damn time for once-everyday if I worked there!! lol
Wonder if they hiring?
SERIALLY..................
you cant teach background vocals like that --- southern homegrown. wow
I had no idea they were the background singers until they SANG!
Yeeesss! Backup is killing it!
Straight churchin right there!
It was on point.
They’ve got their own album now, Hamiltones! Amazing in concert with Hamilton too!!!
This cat has been honing his craft for decades...he gives his all to every aspect of his music. The musical and vocal arrangements are a singular phenomena. The fact he can deliver such force and nuance is a testimony to the control he wields over his instrument. A unique yet familiar funk with his own signature seasoning, is refreshing and leaves you fulfilled, thrilled and wanting more.
Anthony Hamilton 🤯 This man can sing a phonebook and sound like an opera.
Say it Fernando ❤️❤️🙌❤️🎤🩷👣🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏽🎵🩵🌹
Hamiltones are monsters.....
say dat!!!
Yes
Always
Gregory Bradley EVERYTHING!!!
They straight in beast mode.
THIS IS THAT SOUL SHIT THAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR!!!
+Kevin Malone yes indeed sir, but the media want to tell us Adele and Sam Smith are, not for me.
Helena Prince
So true.
Him and Anderson .Paak
He looks and sounds amazing. The band and background singers are exquisite too❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
His band is so in tune with him. They slow down tempo, play higher or lower, and even riff on their own. Really cool to see.
background vocals is lit. they was singing they ass off.
lowkey yet so profound
Yesuuur
His backing singers and musicians are fire! This entire video blew me away. No auto tune. Pure talent!
No auto tune alright! Pure, wholesome talent!
Nothing but talent❤️💋
The drummer's on fire too!
Yes Indeed! I’ve been to several of his concerts & his back ground singers are 🔥🔥🔥
They’re the Hamiltones and are on Spotify.
Anthony Hamilton is a one of a kind singer with a special voice, his music is so dope 🔥
He's a more multilayered Dino Conner from H-Town version to me
2024 is here and this one Anthony’s Tiny Desk still hits like it was yesterday ❤
Anthony Hamilton's voice is profoundly different and resonates with you long after the song ends.
Evette Ferguson sounds like a rougher version of Dino Conners from H-Town to me
Correct!!! This video was sooooo good until I had to replay it! 👍👍
Carolina voice rooted soul
Damn!!! You know you can sing when you can't tell the difference between the live and the album 💪👈
Lol u know it’s good when it’s better live than it is on the album
Can't get enough of @AnthonyHamilton! True music warrior!
For real
Love your voice!!!
I’m 24, and I’m here in 2022 and he giving me chills and bring tears to my eyes. His voice is my childhood making me feel so many things ❤️
Same here 97 baby
That Deep South sound! Mr. Hamilton simply awesome!
The coldest back round singer in the game. Because they're all lead singers.
Mr. Vito❤️❤️❤️❤️
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He sang that song like Charlene hurt him 20 minutes ago. I LOVE himmmm!!!
Right! I wonder if Charlene ever responded?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 this took me outttttt

I'm a death metal loving white nerdy atheist; Anthony Hamilton and The Hamiltones' skill and emotive transcend music to another level. You had me nodding and grooving; loving respect where it is due, my friends.Thank you, and thank you to NPR.
make us 2, amen!
+Mathews Barbosa
Well said, sir. Great is great.
Good music transcends all barriers! This is true music from the soul!
Yes sir, hang in there sir.
joseph daignault Love your honesty and openness to another genre. I believe good music transcends!
My like button is broken. It only let's me push it once
Shit boy
Okkkkkk
Sometimes I hear a subtle Bill Withers influence in his voice. Such a wonderful artist.
Anthony Hamilton's voice HEALS...This whole set, musicians, backing singers so wonderful. Thank you for this upload
Oh I like you! I thought I was the only one who felt this way 🤣🤣🤣
The 1.7K people that gave this a thumbs down don't know true music. This is amazingly great music. A live band is unheard of these days.
For real Regina!!! Folks are crazy. They don’t music line we do girl. This concert is everything!!! My daughter was on to him before I was an Im 50+
Must be one person clicking 1,7k times for unknown reason
Thumbs down folks are just negative sad people. Gotta feel sorry for haters. Anthony Hamilton is one of those singers who don't need music to sing. Just gifted to the max.
Facts
Trust me they know it's great music they're just... well never mind.
Man his song “Cool” hits hard especially during these times of crisis. It took me back to when my wife had just given birth to our newborn and We had only $30 to last the week. We looked at each other and knew we could make it work. We only needed our love and each other.
Now we are cool.
Edit: Wow thank you everyone for the love and support. Quick update, my family is blessed and very well. At the end of the day love wins and I hope you all find love and light in these times of darkness.
Aww yes those days! With our newborn we had $10 to last 3 days. It did and we did nearly 10 years later 😍 thanks for the reminder of the tough times when all we had was love and it was more than enough. Blessings to you and your family as well.
LOVE THIS 👑
Love at it’s Best✨

Thank you, I wondering if that was Chris on the drums
Got to see The Hamiltones two years ago at a music festival I was also playing at in Canada. I was walking through the festival grounds and was drawn into the best rendition of Let's Stay Together I've ever heard. That crowd was eating it up for 10 minutes. I almost cried it was so good. They were my favorite act at that festival.
Tony Lelo is singing backs too.
8:55 "Sometimes it don't take a lot of money to have a good time, and sometimes it don't take a big meal to get full"
Read this as he said it
I’m telling yu and when yu got God it’s like yu can conquer the world 🙏🏿
Ayyyyyyeeeeee!! Those back vocals are " AMAZING" I totally enjoyed this, Great voices!!
My favorite R&B singer.. He sounds better live than the albums.. Love Ant Hamilton 🔥🔥🔥💯
Much better live
Yes!!!
Listen to this three times: First for Anthony, Second for the background singers, Third for the band. Totally fulfilling experience every time.
Only 3 lol maybe we should watch one for every person Who played with Anthony
Started @#3 4 Charleen, then died at the fork in the truth this camellias, elephant bee, been monkey and swinger Jane since the beginning of this damsel in distresses time after time louse lane been counterparts she is Imran I am been around the word sew a baby ur baby some baby girl I visually may be all u see especially when voice of choice is chosen definitely given?gifted? Flaw?I'm ImeanI am not curvaceous woman but toy used metaphorically or target or victim or pawn or sum other degree of malicious verbiage spoken all ways to make a feeling of unwanted flashback mentality given b unto myself when I chose to not see the beauty in the I'm I effect image I beheld whilst looking into the looking glass created by magic words meant only to Marr my vision making me blind, only temporarily without sight blinded by not light but the pitch blackness of whom others saw me as even before themselves and not choosing to choose themselves alone mistakenly advanced ,pounced upon an insecurity keep visibly hidden by day and refusing to be accepted in the darkness where it minds its bigness and now ha formed a force guided by all unheralded to the heavans where lies become innovative creations of vintage process,Amist the clarity of wisdoms mixture spew forth anew a knowledge that is with-out the capability to make the truth about any thing anything other than what it is..
The unbrokentruPpp......
And still in that ooorrdddeerr!!!
They need to get D’Angelo on here
Omg...please say that shit again. D where u at?
Right😁
Anthony Hamilton used to sing background for Deangelo
Makes complete sense!
and maybe chance the rapper lol
One of the best voices of this generation.
Been a fan from the beginning....like old school singers....actually "saying something with his lyrics". Background singers on point!!!
i feel like everyone's npr performances are better than their actual songs
Lucas Scott tru
same. Anderson.Paaks npr arrangements are better than the actual ones
So true lol I started falling in love with these NPRs and stopped liking the recorded versions.. I thought it was Bcuz I'm getting older but hey.. I'm only 38..the new 20s child
This one is amazing!! I'm afraid most modern music production fails to capture so much of the raw, soulful talent that artists like this have. (computers/proTools/infinite non-destructive editing don't help the cause)
No restrictions, can be free an themselves!
We've had Anthony Hamilton. NOW WE NEED MUSIQ SOULCHILD after this corona passes.
Yassssssss
Yes, please.
And D'angelo....
Yassss
Omg yes!!
2024 and im still bumping this!! tiny desk need to get an apple music subscription these hit better than the originals
The back up singer’s Man!!! They can get down, so just imagine what your vocals have to be like and they’re keeping up with Mr. Hamilton
damn.. his voice, the backup singers, the band.. everything is perfect.. not to forget that cardigan
I might cry the day I see D'Angelo: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Ain’t that the truth
PLEASE!!!!
That would be epic! Let us pray
And I could die day after!
Did you know that Anthony Hamilton sang backup for D'Angelo for years before going solo?
I absolutely love it! Anthony Hamilton, the band, and the backup singers are definitely on point. You can hear the gospel roots .
Yall gotta get Anthony BACK ON THIS SHOW, HE IS AWESOME 😊😊😊😊
0:00 Amen
4:19 Best Of Me
9:08 Cool
14:00 Charlene
you're a life saver!!
Thanks 👍😘
Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks
I love how his crew is so humble and low key with their image. Not too flashy, just some everyday dudes. Anthony and his team are like soul food; filling and relaxing. I've seen him perform in Atlanta and he was phenomenal.
Shon Irving - wish I could see him!! Love his voice!!
Yesss I saw him twice and he did not disappoint not one time
He was performing in South Africa on the 25th August 2018.
All I can say is what a night, what a performance!
Yeees seen him on Christmas night in Charlotte. He seen I was nervous watching him dance with others after the concert, and came and grabbed me to dance since I wasn't going over there lol. Best night of my life!!!!!
those background singers really going crazy 😭❤️
I'm here at work June 14th 2023, rocking!!! Still loving all that Anthony Hamilton is!!!! His gift is so beautiful and uplifting always!!! We love you Mr. Hamilton!!! Keep rocking!!!! We need you!!!
This man is incredible. If you dislike this video, you're 100% tripping.
Honett percent 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
If you don’t like this you don’t understand music
His background singers always look like the guys at the barbershop just hanging out you just never know that they got that voice on them until they sing. They are the truth so talented and so laid back with it.
Cool seeing a bunch of brothers together doing their thing.
I know veto
See, as human beings we too often look at the outward appearance of others and miss out on some of the greatest blessings God wanted to bestow upon us.
The Good thing abt his bck up Singers is tht you can see that these Guys are having fun like dammmm ... lolololol
one of the best moments in my life when i was in low point in my life an i was playin some anthony hamilton an african queen asked me what i knew about that the kindness in her eyes was so peaceful she was the only person that helped me get out of a dark place in my life an was a random person
Him, the Hamiltones his boys in the back, the band….pure talent! ❤
This is the ArchBishop of Soul....real talk....And the Band and Background singers are all Clergymen....
perfect description
Anthony is that old soul voice that’s just not appreciated enough today. Mr. Hamilton will always be dope to me. I was too excited to see him on tiny desk.
I believe he has peace he like to be at home with his family....he's making money off every sing he wrote .
Now this is real R&B SINGING!!😘❤️love that A. Hamilton!
YES YES A. HAMILTON 👣🎵🎵🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🩷❤️❤️🌹🌹🩵
Something is wrong with me. I’m a 43 yo man who cries every time I hear beautiful music like this. Thank you Anthony Hamilton. Come and get your collard greens
SOUUUULLLL !! No subliminal stage set up, No unusual dress codes, no derogatory lyrics, no autotune .. just pure talent. Lasts a lifetime
Brooklyn Bak truth!!
People curse to express their feelings in their music and everyone is different In their own way... and it’s awesome no one want copycat that’s why I love this generation 🦋🌞 also love Anthony Hamilton:
Charlene has withstood the test of time 🙏🏾💙
2023….. Still jamming to this vibe. Thank you
