Clay Hammond (Groesbeck, TX, June 21, 1936) was an American soul singer and songwriter. Clay Hammond was the author of Little Johnny Taylor's huge soul hit, "Part Time Love." He was also a decent Sam Cooke-style soul singer in his own right, however, who recorded for various labels in the 1960s. His most well-known efforts from that time are the four singles he did for Kent between 1966-69. These mixed Southern soul, gospel, and blues styles, yet also had a somewhat lighter and poppier production aura than much Southern soul, perhaps because they were recorded in Los Angeles. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Clay+Hammond">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
