  • Les Baxter's version peaked at #3 on the Jukebox chart, #2 on the Best Sellers chart & #1 on the Disc Jockey chart - so is considered a #1 hit (non-certified million seller) by Billboard.

  • What a wonderful tribute to your Mother. You did your father proud I am sure!

  • OH MY WORD..... I was left speechless

  • Well, Erwin, this did it for me. I play chromatic harmonica and canNOT play some songs when I'm emotional (tears running into the mouthpiece have an effect on breathing properly) so I truly understand. :( You succeeded admirably to please your Dad and I give you kudos for fulfilling his wish. The last scene in the video did me in completely. I'm just going to have to sign on to your account, after all - something I rarely do. You have a beautiful voice I certainly want to hear more of.

  • Quite frankly I stumbled on your sight looking for something else. I am now a fan and want more... Keep it up Good music is hard to find nowadays . Absolutely blew my mind away. Having lost my mother in April of this year, I know how emotionally difficult this must have been because I sang at my own mother's funeral. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us and having nailed this one, everything else should be a piece of cake. America's got Talent is waiting for you !

  • Erwin,This is my very favourite song of all time you sing this beautifully thank you from the bottom of my heart,<3

  • Wow- that really was something!! It helps knowing the story behind why you chose that song, or rather why your father did. Beautifully sang. You have an amazing talent and I dont think it is ever too late to use that talent to bring happiness to others!! Well done

  • OH-MY-GODDDDDDDD!!! You should be on America's Got Talent with that awesome voice!!! Beautiful. That is a very very hard song to sing and even the Righteous Brother's had a very hard time nailing it. Took several takes before they got the final cut....

  • You have awesome parents, I too just lost my mom in May of this year 2011, she was a strong lady all her life, and I took care of her for the last 14 years and I saw her give her last breath, this song you posted brings it all home to me. I know that she is now at peace with the Lord, as your lovely mother is also. God has blessed you with a great singing voice, thanks for sharing that blessing with us on you tube.

  • Great song. Very nice Job Erwin!

  • my evergreen's personal fav.-again, you can sing it,as pure towards higher notes and coming back to very hard parts-not many man can sing this:Brilliant!,-just enjoying this melody so smooth // easy-thank you for this!

  • That was so awesome! I love your voice! You melted my heart! Hugs to you!

  • I'm sure that every time someone plays this song your mom looks down smiling with great pride...yes very big pride...you did a magical job on this golden classic...sounding as good from you as the original..Well done young man!

  • Great rendition my friend.

  • Great rendition Erwin! The emotions so real! Nakakaiyak!

  • this song will live forever <3

  • This one is my favorite! You nailed this one with a sledge hammer! Keep doing what you do. Hopefully, a producer or record label owner will spot your you tube videos, & sign you to a record deal. You definitely deserve it!

  • Great Erwin, your mother would be so proud, and i'm sure your dad enjoy it too, you can see the emotion you put into it. Thanks again for sharing you story and your song.

  • I dont usually post comments on someone whos description is sooo long lol but you got to me... your version was beautiful and the story beyond it was even more so. this song also reminds me of my mother... even though i still have her with me, i thank you for the obvious emotion and the honesty behind what you did... its beautiful... im happy that this amazing song keeps someone you love, alive forever...

  • This song always reminds me of one of my fav movies, Ghost. Erwin, you did a great job with this song.

  • Love this song and you rendered it all the beauty that it is.

    You must bring your Father much pride, and what Love you show your MOM in this dedication.

    Pure Beauty.

  • My mother was 53 years old when she passed in 1992. This has brought some emotional and fond memories of her. RIP to both my mom the person in the video. Thanks for sharing.

  • Erwin, What a great song,very moving.

  • Even Melinda got up to post a comment on your fabulous version of this special song Erwin. I really think you nailed it, every high note, all in the right spots and so accurately accomplished. I am highly impressed by your stellar performance! Congrats to your dad and may God bless your dear Mother. I lost my mom very young in 1996, so I know all about the pain of such a loss. Great job with this my friend.

  • @elvidinck I was pleasantly surprised to find Melinda's comment, and your comment too. Thanks, Mark.

    Your review's very kind. I had such a hard time singing this one. I've sung this for many years and after my mom passed, "Unchained Melody" became very difficult to sing. Of course, my dad wanted me to sing it whenever we had parties. That was torturous, though I'm always honored to fulfill my dad's wishes.

    I'll pass along your sentiments. And yes, empathy is the best source of compassion.

  • absolutely incredibly beautiful erwin, a really special rendition! i loved it

  • @23Piccolina I'm honored by your visit, Melinda. Thank you for experiencing this very special video. I'll never make another one quite like this one. My emotions were drowning beyond any description could ever justify.

  • Beautiful tribute!!!! Your Mom and Dad must be proud!!!

  • wow! Im all choked up.........phew!

  • @tracysstuff1 Yeah ... this was a tough one. Emotionally devastating ... I was relieved to get a fairly clean vocal to the end of the song. I just kept thinking, while I was singing; "I'm doing this for dad. I'm doing this for dad".

  • This is so wonderful!! I'm sure that Sir Lou is so happy to see this video. Love all the pictures. I admire their everlasting love... at nakaka iyak ( it makes me cry) on the last part of the video.

  • @babesnurse Yes, we were all crying again. The photos are priceless and irreplaceable. The last photo is incredibly powerful. That is the only photo that I will ever post regarding my mom's funeral. That event is too painful, regardless of how much time passes by.

  • Erwin, really fun seeing the old pics. I love the one in the boats on the water and good job on the song.

  • @bowdish67 Thanks Bill. I agree! Those photos are amazing and I'm thrilled that we still have them to enjoy. Both, my mom and dad, were STYLIN'! I never looked THAT GOOOD!!!
