Born May 18, 1944 - British singer and musician. He achieved his greatest success as a songwriter for other artists - in the 1960s and 1970s he was one of the most successful Englishmen in this field. He is fluent in English and Spanish, so he works as a singer in two languages.
Hammond's family was from Gibraltar (British colony). During the war, for security reasons, his mother was evacuated to London, where Albert was born in 1944. He spent his childhood and youth in Gibraltar, where he became fluent in English and Spanish.
He achieved worldwide popularity as a singer in the early 1970s with the song “It Never Rains in Southern California”, which reached # 5 in the United States and sold over a million copies worldwide. ... Since then, Hammond's songs have become consistently hits - over the course of five years, 8 of his singles in a row (since this one) hit the American chart (the first hundred of the Billboard magazine).
