Various Artists - The Unchained Melody - 29 Killer Versions!
JASMCD2719
Although its theme song, UNCHAINED MELODY, sold in its millions and has gone on to become one of the most recorded songs of all time, the movie from whence it originated, 'Unchained' (1954), was a relatively obscure film-noir about a convict in a medium security prison, the leading role played by American footballer Elroy 'Crazylegs' Hirsch, who'd never acted before.
This unique compilation presents twenty-nine different versions of 'Unchained Melody', across a wide range of musical styles.
It includes the four biggest 'original' 1954 American hits, by Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, Roy Hamilton and June Valli, as well as Jimmy Young and Liberace's successful UK cover versions, while the 'original' movie soundtrack clip features Todd Duncan.
