Title: Hy Zaret would have loved it.
Product review: Hy Zaret, who wrote the words to "Unchained Melody" never liked Bobby Hatfield's (Righteous Brothers) version of it because he "jazzed it up". So, I think he would have loved the way Barry Manilow sang it on this cd. By the way, for those of you, like me, who always wondered where "Unchained Melody" got its name, it was featured in the obscure 1955 prison movie, "Unchained". It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song but lost out to another song on this cd, "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing". History aside, I like the way Barry Manilow presents these timeless classics. He sings them with the feeling and respect they deserve. It's much more than easy listening. It's a time capsule back to the '50's!
