Harold Hammond is a native of Atlanta, Georgia. He attended the University Of Georgia, and studied voice for seven years under the well-known Italian voice teacher, Eugenio Prosperoni, which accounts for the unususally clear diction in his singing.
Upon Mr. Prosperoni's advice, he originally planned to enter the operatic field, but could not escape the call of God to sing gospel music, along with choral directing, which he had followed for the past fifteen years at various churches in the Atlanta area. Mr. Hammond has the rare skill of changing from lyric to dramatic tenor at a moment's notice. This can be borne out by comparing two songs in this album, "How Great Thou Art" and "It Took A Miracle." Although Mr. Hammond enjoys singing the more vocally demanding songs of the church, he holds to his opinion that more hearts are moved and touched for Christ by the simple gospel songs which he so capably sings.
