Elvis Presley - Unchained Melody (Live Comparisons)

Музыка

In this video I compare 7 live versions done by Elvis Presley of the song Unchained Melody, which originally was recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1965. The different versions are all from live concerts between 1976 and 1977. In all of these 7 live versions Elvis does an amazing job, and in my opinion makes the best cover of the song. The power and strength in his voice, despite his declining health, and the piano play, just gives the song a heavenly touch.
Enjoy!

    I sat outside a local record store in my hometown on 17/08/1977 while Elvis' rendition of "Unchained Melody" filled the streets. I was 13 years old...

    I was stunned when I first heard him sing this in 1977. Stunned. I didn’t know at the time that anyone else much cared for it. I am pleased to learn after all of this time that millions of others were just as affected. Opera for the common people with soul.

    This is proof Elvis was even better toward the end of his career !!!! The notes he was hitting was incredible I wish people would of appreciated the gifts that he so freely gave the world.there were a lot of good reviews toward the end bad also some bad and it was like the music industry turned their back on him but regardless when he died moody blue was number 1 and he finished his career on the top not like some people try to say that he was washed up etc. it just pisses me off that he had so much more to give but the Lord called him home I hope he’s at peace in heaven.

    I agree,no way was he washed up at the end, he wasn't a well person and he gave his all for his fans right up until the end . He is the best and they broke the mould when they made Elvis, he could sing anything and had an incredible vocal range which was completely natural, he never needed vocal coaching and as his Mama sId it was god given. I'll never stop loving him ❤️

    Thank you for this. Born 1980, August I turn 42. I obviously am familiar with Elvis but just recently found him. I can't stop listening and learning about him. I believe I just fell in love with him, ( I love no celebrity) maybe because I can identify with him with addiction? Albeit he didn't understand he was a drug addict I don t believe and he was surrounded by yes men and had access to whatever he wanted so....... the drugs the King was addicted to are more powerful than anything we have today . I can't imagine. I'm 2 weeks sober today , 6 year old daughter I want to be here for. 🙏 Elvis has helped me get through a few days here , today included. I'm leaving work right now which is maybe my biggest trigger but not today. Not being intoxicated today.

    Thanks so much for this, they were all great I think number 2 was a bit dodgy but I think that was just the recording issue, the piano sounded louder than his voice, probably a fan recording, not like these days when just our phones giving great videos and recordings !!! The arbor mill one that's on moody blue over-dubbed yet its a fantastic version, pure live at the piano, but record companies obviously didn't want that !!! I'm glad you did these because I looked for the arbor mill one but couldn't find it. I do love Moody Blue album, its one of my favourite elvis albums yet not as live as I thought. When I was young,I was 8 when he died, and further on in my life thinking that was pure live, I'd been a fan since around 6 or maybe younger because my mam us a huge fan we both still are for life. The one CBS did, personally why didn't they do one earlier than they did even 73 onwards after Aloha were loads of brilliant gigs they could of recorded but no they left it until he wasn't very well bless him. He did a great version of U.M on that concert film, I know it wasn't the last like a lot of fans knew I didn't I always thought it was the last but this last final one was brilliant his vocals sounded a bit more powerful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏there ya go my applause for all of these, he was the best ever !!no-one comes close or ever will He gave us his all ........

    This song had been recorded by many artists before the Righteous Brothers' (Bobby Hatfield) version in 1965, so it's far from being the original as stated here. It was originally sung by Todd Duncan in the 1955 prison film 'Unchained', and was sung by several artists after that, and hundreds since.
