"Unchained Melody"- AL HIBBLER

According to Internet Movie Data Base, "The version of the song 'Unchained Melody' that was included on the original soundtrack is performed by somebody else in the movie itself."

It was performed by Todd Duncan in the movie and Al Hibbler's version was on the original soundtrack release.

I saw the movie this song came from a long time ago on late night TV. It was a terrible B movie staring the guy who used to play Gerry Helper, the dentist neighbor of Rob Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke Show. This theme is played throughout the movie usually on a recorder, I think. It was a prison movie called 'Unchained.'

Heard this version years after hearing the righteous brothers. The rb did a great version, but I think that Al Hibbler's is the best!

He was a star and civil rights activist, but to me he was family. he was a wonderful person

Check out the mezmorizing version

I think you will enjoy it very much.

The best of the best version of this great song!

This is the BEST version, bar none
Thanks AL

I'm not sure what planet you're from, but the original was done by Todd Duncan way back in 1955. Plain and simple, the version that is credited to the Righteous Brothers is what is called a COVER VERSION, since they're using the same lyrics as the Original 1955 VERSION, thiers can't be called an original. If you would follow your own advice an use google you would see that there were many version of the song before and after the Righteous Brothers.

An interesting thing about the song is a guy claimed to write it in 1936, but Hy Zaret, the real author, fought him. It seems to be an internet hoax. They claim Al Hibbler recorded it years before the movie was made.
