Ok, so this is my father’s favourite song. I’ve grown up being serenaded with this song for years and years and it holds a special place in my heart! ….Plus, my Dad has been driving me MENTAL asking me to do a Face Off for this song!! Well, sadly my parents will be moving away from me at the beginning of next month, and I’d like him to be around so I can see his reaction to this post! So, Dad?? THIS ONE’S FOR YOU!
“Unchained Melody”, Who Did it Better?
Al Hibbler
VS
The Righteous Brothers
And… ELVIS has entered the building!!! We have a write in vote, so… HERE HE IS!!

I have a feeling that will be the trend. But Al Hibbler is the one of the original artists, and my dad really wanted this one!

Righteous Brothers. The music and the high/ low notes…. This is always the version I imagine of when I think of Unchained Melody.
Where is Dad moving to???

He’s moving up to our new cottage property in the Haliburton Highlands. It’s great, and I’m happy for them…. (and for the rent they’ll be paying us. 😉😂) but, I’M GOING TO MISS THEM!! It’s over 3 hrs away.

I know how much you Canadians like to drive… 😉 😉 😂

Huhh I thought point was to choose who sang it better. Since I have heard righteous brothers and they hooked me on to love, they get the vote

ooh I love this song! Great choice for a face-off. I go for the righteous brothers, mainly because I know that version so well it is difficult to listen to another one and not just imagining I’m listening to the version of the righteous brothers. But I also love their version because of how they sing the high notes with so much fragile emotions and tenderness.
Altough I have to say that I also really like Elvis’ version of the song.
I am sorry to hear your parents are moving away though. I hope it’s not for a bad reason.

Ya, the Righteous Brothers version is the one that my Dad would always karaoke, so I know what you mean! And, luckily, no. They’re not moving away for a bad reason. They’ve been cottaging up in that area for years and when my man and I bought a property up there they figured it was about time to live up there year round!

ah then I hope they have a great time living there!

Righteous Brothers for sure! It’s the first one I heard from the Ghost movie when I was a kid….which probably wasn’t something I should have been watching as a 10 year old haha 😛

😂😂… Murder, ghosts, romance… What’s wrong with that for a 10 year old?? 😂😂 That’s ok. When I was about 10 my favourite movie was “Rocky Horror Picture Show”… Now, THAT wa inappropriate for that age! 😂😂

Hahaha well THAT explains a lot of things. 😂 I watched so many age-inappropriate movies with my parents when I was little, like The Schindler’s List. Mom and dad, what were you thinking??

Aww…it’s so nice of you to write this post for your dad. Really…incredibly sweet. I’m sorry that your parents are going to be living further away from you 😢 As someone who has a very close bond to his parents as you know, I know it’s going to be tough.
This was a very nice thing of you to do though😊
My vote goes to……..Righteous Brothers. Because I just love the movie Ghost…it never fails to bring a tear to my eyes (yeah…I know I am a softie), but it’s also a great version of the song 😊

I have to give it to the Righteous Brothers although I’m sure your dad sings it amazingly well as well!
My parents just moved closer to me three years ago? We lived a couple hours away for many many years, it is nice having them here! But there are advantages to them being further away as well, LOL

I’m so late to the party! Firstly, you have property other than the property you are in so you get a Certificate of Poshness! Secondly I like Joni Mitchell’s Unchained Melody, which isn’t the same as these somehow. 🙄😀 I think the Righteous Brothers won anyway so just ignore this comment 🤣
