Theres a vocal coach who does youtube reaction videos (the charismatic voice, very very pwetty lady, but thats not why i watch?). She has a vid of this and she is in pieces watching it.Heard Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt' on the radio over the weekend. Brilliant but brutal version. After the song finished the DJ said 'you feel like you've got to take a moment after that' which was the perfect response.
The video is heartbreaking but mesmerising.
Sorry. Wimpy compared to this version - by the original!Jeff Buckley Hallelujah
...
I definitely prefer the Jackson Browne version - if not the actual original recording!As a twist on Doon's reworked/covers thread, how about one for songs where there's a better known version, but there's also the original, which is better?
As a starter I give you the better known version;
And here's the original;
Wasn't even aware Frankie did a cover version of this.More from Frankie :-
Or The Boss
Is that some sort of wind up?Frankie's Born to run is far better than the boss version ,Johnson at least can sing
I might be in the minority, but I always loved the original Nine Inch Nails song and felt Cash just reduced it to a simple acoustic strum-and-sing number. I could never understand why people rave about that cover. Maybe it's a generational thing. It's not as if the original is devoid of emotion, far from it!Heard Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt' on the radio over the weekend. Brilliant but brutal version.

Surely you mean Robson & Jerome?Unchained Melody was written for a film in 1955.
Same year, 1955, there were 4 different versions in the UK charts at the same time. Never happened again with one song.
Ten years later the most famous recording was made by the Righteous Brothers.

Is that some sort of wind up?
Back to my pre-teens days, I only found out a couple of months ago this was actually a cover version.
Also, I'd imagine this version is better known than the original.
