Hi

A record collector friend left me a voicemail message with a fade in and fade out of this record: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmD1sCEeR5o. What time is it? Time to start this romantic
songs thread. Enjoy the song.

The original version of one of the most recorded - from "Unchained", the movie that gave the song its name:
Unchained Melody

...lyrics by Hy Zaret who wrote the English translation of a song LC has been known to do:

San Sebastian 1988

...and a special version of Unchained Melody for John E:

Hi Eskimo,

Thanks for the links. There's synchronicity with "Unchained Melody," as I borrowed a copy of
the CD Best of Righteous Brothers yesterday. The first track on the CD is the Righteous
Brothers cover of "Unchained Melody." It's through the Righteous Brothers that I know the song.
Here's a link to their cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiiyq2xrSI0.

Hi Eskimo and Steven I hadn't heard the original version of unchained melody before - Sam Cooke has a nice version as well.

The What Time Is It song reminds me a bit of the Beachboys.

Hi,

Here's "Pledging My Love": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT_eOiTwtoQ. Maybe you can relate to the sentiment
of the song or can remember a time you were able to.

Hi,

Many will enjoy this seasonally appropriate romantic song. This links to the Ray Charles and Betty Carter
cover of "Baby It's Cold Outside": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5Rbkcxiibw.
