"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North used the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained, hence the name. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists in multiple languages. In 1955, three versions of the song (Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, Roy Hamilton) charted in the Billboard Top 10 in the United States, and four versions (Al Hibbler, Les Baxter, Jimmy Young and Liberace) appeared in the Top 20 in the United Kingdom simultaneously, an unbeaten record for any song" |

I've this avoiding this song, because the top note is slightly higher than I should ever sing in public. You, however, have done a great job with it and live to boot. It sounds like a fun party was going on in the background. -Jon |
Reply: Thanks Jon, It's one of my better performances and may get it mastered to edit out the background clutter! P.S., I think my high note was falsetto, so maybe you can hit it that way! Lee |

Hi Lee...sounds like there's quite a party going on in the room where you performed...and perform you did! A truly superb performance by you of a very challenging song in an even more challenging environment. Great job! |
Reply: Thank you so much Jerry!!! There's a clique at this karaoke group, that just come there to eat and chat! The one at the beginning, their leader didn't listen to a word of the song; then had the nerve to yell out..."great job" at the end! Lol |
