Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I think the best version of ‘Unchained Melody’ goes to Elvis from 1977. One last glimpse of greatness right before his death.

To each their own! I've never been a massive fan of the song regardless of who covered it. That said, the first time I heard the Elvis version was when I watched the recent Baz Luhrmann biopic. He looked so sweaty and bloated I feared he'd expire right there on stage.

That’s the magic of it. Literally on death’s doorstep and he still managed to bring it.
