He was the choir director in the Aretha Franklin AMAZING GRACE movie,

Until the discovery of the film of “Amazing Grace,” the genius of the work of Alexander Hamilton was not as well known as it is now. For those familiar, Hamilton’s co-starring role conducting the choir is pure joy.

Alex’s loss to popular music and to the gospel community is immense. Alex played, conducted and arranged scores for numerous music icons, including Lola Falana, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Lou Rawls, the Staple Singers, Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli, Natalie Cole, Etta James, James Cleveland, Bessie Griffin, Shirley Caesar and Mahalia Jackson. He also co-wrote the gospel hit “He’s a Miracle Worker” with Eddie Kendricks.

And… Aretha Franklin and the Southern California Choir.
