Unchained Melody Unchained Melody is a timeless song that has captivated generations of listeners with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics. The song was composed by Alex North, a prolific and versatile composer who created memorable scores for many films, such as A Streetcar Named Desire, Spartacus, and Cleopatra. He wrote the song as the theme for the 1955 film Unchained, which tells the story of a prisoner who longs for his wife and hopes for parole. The song was first performed by Todd Duncan, who played the lead role in the film, and released in 1955 by Al Hibler and Liberace, who popularized it on his television show. The song has been recorded by hundreds of artists in various styles and languages, but perhaps the most famous version is the one by The Righteous Brothers, who released it in 1965 as a single. Their rendition features Bobby Hatfield's soaring vocals and a lush orchestral arrangement that adds drama and intensity to the song. The Righteous Brothers' version reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most successful pop songs of all time. It was also featured in the 1990 film Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, which revived its popularity and introduced it to a new generation of fans. However, not everyone appreciates The Righteous Brothers' version of Unchained Melody. Some critics argue that they changed the original mood and meaning of the song, which was more subtle and restrained. They also point out that there are other versions that are more faithful to the composer's vision and more expressive of the song's emotions. For example, Al Hibler gave a powerful performance that conveyed the pain and longing of the prisoner. Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, and John Gary also recorded beautiful versions that showcased their vocal talents and captured the essence of the song. One of the most recent and remarkable versions of Unchained Melody is by Angelina Jordan, a young and talented singer who has amazed audiences with her unique voice and style from the age of 7 to now 17. She performed the song at her concert in Portsmouth, NH on September 22, 2023, and gave it a fresh and original twist. She rearranged the song to suit her own interpretation and added elements of jazz, soul, and blues to create a stunning rendition that mesmerized the crowd. She sang with passion and grace and delivered every note with precision and emotion. She proved that Unchained Melody is a timeless song that can be reinvented and reimagined by different artists. © Larry D. Pifer

I wouldn't cross the road to see Adele but I'm crossing the Atlantic to see Angelina in Portsmouth NH 22 Sept. If I was Adele I'd retire.

You have a serious grasp of American music history.

The Angelina version!

I agree 110%

Amazing Angelina run em all out the building💗

Great reaction! And like all the legendary people she honored with this version she will become a legend herself, without a doubt.

Good to hear another reaction from you, always like to hear your critique and comparisons. Thank you!

no no Angelina Jordan version ♥

This is from several years ago. She was fantastic then, and even better now. Check out her new single “Love Don’t Let Me Go”.

thank you. I have never seen this. I don't think I have ever heard a voice like hers. Especially when she was a mere child. she is just stunning. I would almost not compare her to any artist. She's in a league of her own. Every single song. She makes her own. I was told she does her own arrangements.? ❤

Yes. She does all of her own arrangements and has been since she was 8 yo. I think in this video she is around 11/12.

I don't know how I could ever say anything less than her performance was gloriously beautiful, and always emotive to those of us who feel her music in our bones. But she is growing up too fast, and I'm so in love with the little girl wonder.

Here's hoping you can check out the even more stunning Portsmouth performance!

Love, you put this "...be kind, spread love..." -face as front picture to your reaction. Then the remarks to this performance... I have to gratulate you for your observation skills /awareness and your decent style... Great reaction! 👍🏽✌🏽👏🏽

With Angelina’s roots firmly planted in classic jazz from the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, it’s no wonder that her unique version would be a fusion from numerous legends. Great analysis Mr. Boyd! 🎶❤️👣

it's HER OWN style. Hand her that credit.

Awesome reaction and heard she has a concert this September in New Hampshire, at The Music Hall, God Bless!

This song was always a masterpiece. Angelina just brings it back to life for us to enjoy a great song with beautiful lyrics. Her voice is so incredible. I hear a lot of the righteous brothers in this song with Angelina. She did the song the way it sounds. Amazing. 😍

Angelina had such and adorable face at that age but now wow she has a Greek Goddess face, love the way she sings, so beautiful and flawless, and with her singing this song I would say yes and I definitely wait for you no matter what and yes God speed her love to me, she just melts your heart, fabulous singer and she could sing it even more better not, Angelina is the same level as the legendary singers in the hall of fame 🙏🙏🙏

And I really like your Violet Vape intro, never get tired of it.

Always a good reaction.

wonderful reaction to a stunning masterpiece

I think this is definitely the Bobby Hatfield version.

Angelina will be in concert on Sept. 22, at 8:00 pm at the "MUSIC HALL" in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

The Righteous Bros had a full symphonic track backing up the high vocal style of Bobby Hatfield. Elvis took it pretty much mid-range without dramatic octive manipulation. Young AJ took the song to a lower register with a barely audible backing track. Bringing her vocals front and center. Sam Cooke was louder, Hatfield more powerful and Elvis was Elvis. For a 10 year old to take on this classic by industry giants and do this well with it was an impressively colossal endeavor. This reaction was well done. Thank you, sir.

And now we have Angelina Jordan style

My favorite song the Righteous brothers . Well done young lady .

Thanks MRLBOYD, No one like Angelina!!!!

AJ has a solid 2 octave range + falsetto...her magic is she makes you believe she has a 4 octave range...probably one day she will...she just gets better and better...pure magic

The Righteous Brothers, per se, didn’t sing this-Bobby sang it solo, and did a fabulous job of it. Have you watched Angelina singing this at age nine? Very moving and so beautiful.

It truly boggles the mind. Thank you!

💯

Great reaction thank you 😃 wild bill

Imagine what she will sound like as a mature woman? Hope she repeats this song when she reaches her prime!

OMG this is one of my favorite of all time. When I heard her sing it. This became my favorite cover of this song 🎵❤💕

Thanks for sharing an Angelina recording that I hadn't heard. I appreciate the thoughtful reaction!

I have not heard this song from AJ. She is such a standout. Gonna check out Sam Cooke’s version. Another standout talent.

Bobby Hadfield's rendition, as a member of The Righteous Brothers, is considered by most people to be 'The Gold Standard' for this song and deservedly so in my opinion. Here, Angelina presents the best female rendition of it that I have ever heard. Keep in mind, that Bobby was a full grown man with fully developed lung capacity and Angelina's lung capacity won't have reached full maturity until many years from now. Most experts say it will be in her mid 20's. As far as her sounding as if she is doing a Sam Cooke version, I don't agree. To me, this is strictly 'spot on' with Bobby's rendition.

She’s singing Angelina’s version.😊

This girl is a freaking musical genius

done in angelina style! have you reacted to all of her ep releases? and the newest one Our Time?

She sang it beautifully!! Bobby Hatfield version to my ears!! ❤

listen to her "How great thou art"

Enjoyed this version of the song and your reaction

Miyagi - Trenchtown In Memory of Great Bob Marley (Official Video)

Great version. Can hear Hatfield's influence in it. But I still think Hatfleld's Andy Williams show and other venues versions are the best.

I was going to say the same thing. She's definitely doing the Bobby Hatfield version. The runs are virtually the same. Hers are maybe s little more elaborate. It's very far from the Sam Cooke version, which is slower and just paced completely differently.

Listen to the original 1955 versions, all others are after the fa t

It's definitely the Righteous Brothers version she's singing, specifically the 1965 Live performance by Bobby that you, sir, already reacted to: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJqrmJh8fKeWmcY.html
