Most achingly-beautiful music

Thanks, Tubegroover. Glad you enjoyed it! The text and some of the commentary at the link are a bit misleading, as Al Hibbler's recording of "Unchained Melody" was not the version used in the film. The song was sung in the film by an opera singer named Todd Duncan, as seen here. The Hibbler version, along with a couple of other versions which also became hits, were released around the same time. Innumerable other versions followed in later years and decades.

Best regards,
