Yes, a great listen.Cryogenic wrote:There's something special about listening to these, knowing that Elvis heard the same recordings and was deeply moved by them.
Useless trivia:
There have been 7 UK chart versions of Unchained Melody but Elvis isn't among them [nor Roy either].
There have been 4 of You'll Never Walk Alone [not Roy] and the Elvis one was the least successful.

Great performances. Perhaps Elvis should have tackled Unchained Melody in that lower key. Might have had an easier time with it.

A proper studio version might have helped.............
