Hi folks. I consider myself a "student" of oldies (1950s-early 1960s), but I'm having a terrible brain freeze on this one.
There is a song I've heard over the years, but I cannot recall the name or the artist. I have almost no clues for you to go on, but I know that some music-history fans consider that a challenge! Here goes:
1. Song had a slow tempo -- a ballad or very much like one. Very soaring vocals by the solo singer.
2. Male singer with great range. The comparisons that spring to mind are Perry Como and Bobby Hatfield.
3. Unsure of this one -- but I seem to remember that the song was one of those where the title bore little or no relation to the lyric contents. (Note: it's NOT "Unchained Melody")
That's all I got. :-( Any suggestions? I will look up your suggestions on YouTube, to see if I can track it down. Thank you!
That film has some of the best internet memes ever.
This one happens to be my favorite one since football season started.
Tell us what it was, and which post got it, so we can find it without reading the whole thread! How good it must feel to be able to hear the song you were jonesing for.
“...johnny manzel...” (cringes)
Hahaha, no kidding. That movie is simply FULL of them.
Wonderful orchestral rendition thank you.
Sexiest song ever.

Dirty.
This was a cool thread. People pitching in to help with very little to go on, teasing it out for you. I’m glad you asked and I’m glad so many kind ones piled in to help.
When I was little, my dad did a lot of wining and dining for business at a restaurant in Burbank called the Smokehouse, and for some reason whenever I heard this song I thought it had something to do with this. The minds of little kids. So now, as an adult, the song still reminds me of my dad.
