WHEN I was a lad I remember hearing Jimmy Young on the radio, singing Unchained Melody, and later on, in my teens, the version by the Righteous Brothers.
Since then there's been a periodic revival of the old hit. I've researched the song and found seven versions done over the last 50 years, and they are by these artists: Al Hibbler; Charlie Rich; Jimmy Young; Gerry And The Pacemakers; Righteous Brothers; Robson & Jerome; and Gareth Gates.
If any reader can come up with more singers of the song, I'd be pleased to know, out of interest.
