Rest in peace

My family and I enjoyed your music over the years. May God be with you all in your great loss. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Roy C was my favourite musician bar none. I didn't know he had passed until I was browsing through Youtube today. His albums, especially Sex and Soul, are incomparable classics of music with feeling. He was the last of a breed and he never abandoned Deep Soul as some of the old stalwarts did. He is now teaching the angels how to sing with feeling. RIP Roy Charles Hammond. You will continue putting smiles on faces and poignancy in hearts with your immortal music legacy.

Sincere condolences to the Hammond Family. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives. Thank you for Mr. Roy C's contribution to the Soul music. May his music keep his memory alive forever.

My sisters and I grew up with his wife and would like to offer our condolences so sorry for your lost praying that God will comfort & give you peace in your time of sorrow. Deepest sympathy to the family.

My great friend from back in the days....Our condolences to the Hammonds family....Sleep well my friend see you on the other side....

My name is Jerry Sheppard and I have been listening to Roy C's songs since 1971, beginning with "Open Letter to the Oresident". I had the great honor and privilege to meet the legendary Mr. Roy C. when he stopped to assist me one night along side I-95 North just beyond Exit 58 past Fayetteville, N.C.; I'd ran out of gas. Mr. Roy C. was enroute to New York but took the time to assist me, a total stranger, wouldn't accept no pay, and spent nearly an hour with me as he followed me to my place of business so that my brothers could meet him. The world has truly lost a great man and performer.

i loved everything about this man and everything he did. will always love and remember him. rip.

My family favorite singer of all times. Loved Mr. Roy C music. RIP and you are missed already. Real music that touched the soul!

My condolences to the family. This world, needs so much music. It calming affect on people, is so appreciated. May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family, during these difficult times.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

My deepest condolences to the family of Roy C. Hammond. I remember Roy C and J. Hines coming to WSHV FM in South Hill, Va. where I worked as a dj, for interviews with the late Leroy "Top Ten" Penn who would book Roy from time to time. I was a young white dj that loved soul music and what would become known as southern soul. Roy was gracious enough to give me and autograph a copy of his Best of The Roy C Collection album which I still have and treasure. Thank you Roy for all the great music that you shared with the world. R.I.P.!!!

Loved my Roy C. I will surely miss Roy C, been in my life what seems like forever. Seen him numerous times at Lamont Entertainment Center in MD, in Washington DC and in my hometown Calvert County MD. Took a picture with Roy C about 3 years ago at Lamont. My favorite songs are: If I Can Love You Forever, After loving You, Infidelity Georgia, and You Turned My World Around. Missing you, Mae

Thank You for your musical gifts! I remember as a child, my family listening to Roy C, dancing, and having a wonderful time.

Great soul artist

Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May God bless you.

Rest In Peace Roy C.

I, William Seaberry would like to express my deepest sympathy for the family and your great loss. Roy C truly man made beautiful music worth listening to. I myself used to be a performer and really enjoyed his music. My older brothers and sisters introduced me to his music when I was a little boy. And my cousin, the late Al Smith whom was a friend of his introduced me to him man years ago at his club in Fayetteville,NC. His music still plays in my house. My kids and I sing to it together. He and his music made a definite impact on my life. And just a few days after his passing I was listening to his music not knowing he passed and I was thinking and hoping he might still be performing. I was so saddened. He often hung out me and my sisters and brothers back in the 70’s after his concerts. I’m Native American Indian and I can tell you the Lumbee Indians who lived down in Robeson County really loved his music. He will be greatly missed. Lastly, one of my favorite songs by him, “Are you gonna stand up” was awesome be a he included American Indians in it. God bless all of you.

Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in love and prayer.
With much love and appreciation to the family of Mr. Roy C. Thank you for sharing him with his fans. He will truly be missed. May God bless you all with all you need to get through this very difficult time. RIP Roy!!

Absolutely loved the smooth, soulful voice of Roy C. When I learned of his death, I quickly called my mom and dad, who introduced us to his music when were all small children. I took a stroll down memory lane and have been listening to “Love Crazy,” “Somebody’s right, Somebody’s wrong,” “Peepin’ through the windows” and I could go on and on. May you continue to sing great music sir! Rest in Power! Kerisa C.
