Hi, Miss Kathy! A number of interesting choices here, may I add Jerome Kern’s “The Way You Look Tonight” from Fred and Ginger’s “Swing Time”?

“Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody”
I did have the Willie Nelson album where he did that tune. And I liked it.
But, when you think about it, can ANYBODY top the Righteous Brothers version of that song?
I think not. It literally gives me chills every single time I hear it.
And think, I’ve been hearing it for decades now.
That is really something.
That is Art baby, with a Capital A.R.T.
Nite, Conor! (((hugs)))
See ya manana! :)

I know...that was rather disconcerting.
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack from the same movie.
“Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” was my aunt’s wedding song. My mom told me that and when I said: that’s kind of an odd song for your wedding, my mom said: that just shows you how big a hit it was! (The Platters version rules imho).
And my mom was NOT into popular music,
Hence my surprise when she told me she sang “Rock Around the Clock” to me when I was a wee baby.
And hey, that’s another great movie song!
Thank you!!

Al Hibbler's version from 1955 comes pretty close. Earlier in this thread, I also posted Les Baxter's version, also from 1955.
That is great! never saw that one!
As to I Could Have Danced All Night, that was actually sung by Marni Nixon.
Thanks for posting that, I love Clark Gable, he was a real trooper.
