The Platters - Unchained Melody download song

Killer rendition. One of the greatest American groups of the century!

Jesus Christ listen to the notes this man hits a talent like this comes along once in a life time and I am glad I was around to witness it

The fabulous "Platters" timeless entertainment, bought my first record in 1955...they still touch my heart...

A Man That Can Hit High Notes,And Mesmerizing Vocals....You Know It Is The 50s; Years Of Talent. Truly This Is Where Music Meant More Than Just Words.....BRAVO

Amazing version from The Platters in 1955...

My father played this platters album all the time when I was around 11 or 12 years old I am 67 now and when I listen to it it brings tears to my eyes thinking of my Father my truly best friend

Oh my word, how can there be 551 "thumbs down" for this song and group......  He throws all his heart and soul into every song.

Not sure why i find this sensual, tender, and full of longing..so beautiful.

We, our Canadian Guards unit was assigned in 1957-1962 to  NATO forces on the East German border for five yeas ... this was the time when the Platters were at their best.  Leaving behind girl friends and family we had each other mostly teenagers, around four million lonely soldiers serving with NATO.  Hunkered down in over-crowed barracks and dug in along the Iron Curtain we tuned into the music from Luxembourg radio and other military radio stations, at the time following along during these troubling times with the Platters at the forefront.  Now at 77 years and still on my top ten list "The Platters" ... to this day we are still fighting for what we will never know ... thanks to the Platters and others our generation  made it home alive and well.

I have never heard a bad version of this song. Every delivery has been heart stopping !

This is not Tony Williams singing this song. It's Sonny Turner.

This not Tony Williams singing! Tony was the heart & soul of the Original Platters, he had a superb, magnificent voice!

Maybe it's because I was born in the early 40's, that the music I love best is from the 50's and early 60's. Or maybe it's because it is just the best ever. The Platters, Elvis,The Drifters, Righteous Brothers, Roy Orbison, The Temptations and on and on and on. Wish I were able to still dance to it.

I agree, The Platters' world class vocal lifts this song well beyond the musical arrangement. I never tire of hearing them offer anything!

at a very young age I was introduced to this music it was just a thing that I could feel the words and yes it was great for a 9 year old to comprehend music and its feelings well here I am 57 years later and I still cant get enough of this great music

Most people don't know the name of the great lead singer of the Platters. Tony Williams should be remembered, he was blessed with such a beautiful tenor voice. He was one of the greatest

I always find it curious that we need to compare someone's version to someone's else. I would be willing to bet that the Platters' version is what inspired Bobby Hatfield to perform this tune and he would probably give them more credit than some who have elevated his version above theirs. In the end opinions are not terribly significant. No matter how hard this American culture likes to turn everything into a competitive sport, art will always be art and a good version of anything presented with heart, will be as good as any other, just different.
