The most unbelivably awesome version of this beautiful song I have ever heard. You can feel the pain down to your toes. This is what blues is all about. If you don't feel this, you are obviously dead.

I agree. I love Linda. Her voice is incredibly strong. However,

Melanie just has a certain way of giving a song its essence.

I have listened to Unchained Melody over and over again.HOPING

that singers reach the high notes of those infamous lyrics. Don't have to do that with Melanie singing it. It was never her goal... nor ours. She just sings the song and I heard it for the first time.

Melanie told me the story and I knew what the song was saying.

For the first time. THAT'S talent.

This is my ultimate song. It serves up my life. Melanie I Love You. Living in the memory, Ive done everything I know, its going to be a long long time xxxxx

@HalfFastChevy This and Ronstadt's is very good, but there was a male version I heard years ago by a guy with the last name of White, and I've not been able to find it - Coming from a gravelly male voice - you know, masculine but vulnerable - was quite effective. If you find it, send my way.

This is a heart breaking version of this song, Melanie makes it her own, like she does with all the song she covers - it is beautiful and I don't understand some of the nasty comments I am reading here - why be nasty about a beautiful song sung by someone with a beautiful voice? Don't understand.

Love you Melanie

To be honest, I have only ever known Linda's version of the song. I have always loved it. Listening to Melanie's just now for the first time, wow, just different enough, but equally as good as Linda's!

@johnrkoch Not deaf mutes, but rather golden eared fans of true talent such as Linda Ronstadt.

@The096757 I also love the movie Fight Club. And Goodfellas. And Thank You for Smoking. And The Last Unicorn. And North by Northwest. And Memento. Wow, look at all these movie references I just made on YouTube...I must be looking flakier with each letter I type! :-D I hope you ENJOY your day and find humor in it and in all that you do in your life :-) Best to you in all that you do :-)

@The096757 I mentioned Boogie Nights & Roller Girl because when I sing "Brand New Key" at karaoke (which I do often - I call it my karaoke therapy :-) I always hear a lot of "oh, this is the roller girl song!" comments. "Brand New Key" is another one of those songs my mom loved and I grew up hearing :-) Again, all the best to you.

Also, I have watched Boogie Nights several times. Great movie. Suppose that's why it won so many awards. And was given a four star rating :-)
