Elvis Presley
The Righteous Brothers
Though I think Elvis' version of it was amazing. I still prefer the Righteous bros version. Elvis himself apparently loved this version.
I usually imagine in my daydreams that this song is me and elvis' wedding song(soppy i know)
Both are great though.
To me Elvis cld sing any song good really!
I pick elvis, he could sing any song.

Well, I am a long-time Elvis fan, but for me, he never quite nailed this song.
A proper studio version might have helped !

When the Righteous Brothers do it they seem to kind of split up the lead for the parts which best fit their individual voices- Elvis sings the whole thing start to finish so I vote for Elvis's version.
i do love elvis very much but i think rightous bros do that song miles better than elvis cos its a lovely high pitch love song but elvis sings it so deep and it just spoils the song abit
Thank you Thank you very much
Bobby Hatfield did the high parts on it and Bill Medley the lower notes.
elvis's emotion on this is second to none
Elvis! No, Righteous Bros. Wait, Elvis.
You get the idea. I can't decide. Deep down, I like the Righteous Bros. It's the version I heard first, & the one I'm most familiar with. But Elvis - only Elvis could do it as well if not better!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
I remember this song from the second Naked Gun movie. I did notice these are the things I'd love to do with Billy Gilman sometime: grilling meat, baking pots together (3 pairs of hands are okay with me) and listening to Unchained Melody - compared to the version by the Righteous Brothers, Elvis puts more depth in his soulful rendition (the center of tonal gravity, so to say, sounds amazing).
I think Elvis was more inspired by Roy Hamilton's booming baritone - so it's not really a high-pitched song (there will be a time when you get hear to mine).

The only song i realy ever liked by the rightous brothers was unchained melody. But when you compare that to all the songs i no and love by Elvis there is no comparison. Elvis you either love him or your hate him. I have been an Elvis fan since i was 3 and seen him on the Ed sulivan show in 1968, the same year of the comback concert.
Lovin' you

Personally, Elvis, just because he sang it with emotion, pure and simple....Emotion.

Elvis will never sing that rightous bros song as good as they will but other songs he did so well like my way
Thank you Thank you very much
Elvis added a depth to "Unchained Melody" with the timber in his voice, and the emotion he added to the song.
Goosebumps time.

It's all subjective.There is no right or wrong answer.If you asked this question on a Righteous Brothers board it would go the other way.Elvis did a great version.However the Righteous Brothers did the definitive version and pretty much made it their song.Certainly that's the way it's perceived by the general public.They pretty much own it.You hear their version on the radio all the time.
