Paul Hampton (born August 20, 1945) is an American actor, singer, lyricist and writer. He is listed as one of one hundred major architects of American rock and roll in the British rock journal "Footsoldiers and Kings." While he was a sophomore at Dartmouth College, he was signed to Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures at the same time to write music with Hal David and Burt Bacharach. In 1960, with Bacharach he co-composed and performed on one of the strangest single records of all time. It was issued on Dot Records in April 1960 and is titled "Two Hour Honeymoon". It is about a car crash that happens to a man (Hampton) and his wife on the way to their Honeymoon. Hampton as the sole narrator is lying there dying and talking to his wife while "Harlem Nocturne" type music by Bacharach plays. The record got absolutely no airplay at all.
