Sissel - Unchained Melody

[@ronpalmer2u]

My wife and I are 84 yeas of age, we have been married 65 wonderful years. She has advanced stage Alzheimer's disease in the nursing home. I feed her purred lunch daily, I love her with all my heart and will always care for her. She was a perfect homemaker and nurturer. Your tenderness remindes me of her. We love you and thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and demure.

[@glennsmith510]

I am 80 years old. Where have I been? Only recently found Sissel on You Tube. There has been only one other female singer that has touched my heart like Sissel... Patsy Cline. Yes, I know that they are dramatically different, but both had and have the incredible ability to make the listener believe that she is singing only to them. Tears can easily flow with both ladies.

[@noriemeha]

There are lots of great voices that break me up, male and female. For me the test is: which would I take to my desert island where I am only allowed one..... this is the voice. Technically it's not the greatest singing voice I've ever heard but it has the humanity & love at its heart that I would need on my lonely island.

[@henryhorner3182]

Sarah Brightman, Suzan Erens, Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, Jo Stafford and Patty Page also come to mind as wonderful female singers. Regrettably only Sarah B and Suzan E are still with us today.

[@glenmcgregor3366]

Glenn, I'm 75 and I feel the exact same way. Patsy will always hold a place in my heart, but Sissel is that person, that voice that reaches out and holds you like a warm hug. I only found her a few years ago but I have loved every one of the songs she has sung. Have a good life. Glen

[@eddiepalmer5740]

I'm 73, and for me it was Vikki Carr, and now Sissel. She has an amazing voice, and she's a beautiful woman.

[@Powerstroke98]

I'm not 80, but there are many artists that can touch your heart...another being Enya! Listened to much of her music tonight, and it truly rests your sole to listen to her songs.

[@geraldpait946]

Throughout her career from a very young age up to this day, her voice is still perfect. Every note is completely exact. The quality is pure crystalline. Zero hunting for notes, just perfect.

[@roberttmilone5805]

[@bethfiori4708]

No artifice, just natural and beautiful human voice. Story-telling. That's what I like the most in our Angel who's name is Sissel. :)

[@jennyricketts190]

Sissel's voice is wonderful - love it. She sings with so much feeling. Add to that her facial expressions & she's truly amazing.

[@Харитонов_Денис]

Мой кумир, милейшая Сессилиь!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Когда я впервые в жизни услышал этот очаровательный акцент "Хуууеетааааа, на крыльях вееетрааааа..." - я окончательно и бесповоротно был сражён красотою этого наземного голооса, он словно хрусталь! Но когда вышел Титаник, я сразу догадался, что Селин лишь в эпизоде - главной героиней фильма были Вы и Ваш драгоценнейший голос! Спасибо за Ваш талант! 😍😘💐

I am 78 and just heard Sissel for the firt time. She is has delicious soprano voice and a warm smile. I have just become a Sissel fan. I discovered opera singers through, Amira, Paula Bretan, Patricia Janeckova and Alma Deustcher, but now I know from whom they have learned to sing.

[@rosairedubrule60]

Consider Jackie even choi too

[@terryriley4866]

Why hasn’t she been seen and heard on British TV ?she is wonderful and makes lyrics very personal, I love her renditions of classic and contemporary songs. Sweetest voice and effortless range.

[@noriemeha]

She is one of Prince Charles' preferred singers and that's why she appeared on the Royal Variety Show a few decades back, at the Palladium, London.

[@lornasmith1286]

Her voice caresses the notes and the lyrics flow 🎶🎶🎶🎶..soft gentle tone..perfect vocals.. Beautiful Clarity...Angelic... Exquisite! ❤

[@noriemeha]

Yes, she sort of makes love to certain songs and this, I think, is one.

[@wombatone5577]

I am never disappointed when this wonderful lady sings.

[@Bobba7438]

I loved and still do, “The Righteous Brothers” version of this song,. Sissel brings an Angelic quality to this song that makes it every bit as haunting and beautiful and perhaps more so. God definitely touches some few of us to keep us aware of how beautiful is His creation.

[@Mr54nomore]

Written for a prison movie titled 'Unchained' (1955). Composed by Alex North (1910-1991) with lyrics by Hy Zaret (1907-2007). Together they created a song that has been covered by over 700 recording artist in the world. Becoming a beloved classic that has grown in popularity every year since 1955. This song is being sung masterfully and beautifully by Sissel. It was a privilege listening to this. Great post!

[@jmchez]

Best known performance is the "iconic" cover by Bobby Hatfield of "The Righteous Brothers".

[@billbrimmer1739]

Outstanding vocal by a naturally beautiful woman.

[@ronnielwhite6107]

As a youth this was a favorite! Even more so now as Sissel not only adds emotion but qualities of her heavenly voice!

[@jimethington1279]

Thank you Sissel! Love to hear and watch you perform.

[@henryhorner3182]

I discovered her recently by accident. And am totally hooked by her music. My only regret is not having heard her sing 20-30 years ago.

[@ldyoung7938]

Go back and replay the opening and closing ceremonies at Lillehammer! Magnificent!

[@noriemeha]

Oh Henry that was my experience two years ago. But at least I found her and have never looked back. There are lots of great voices. But this one is the one if I must choose.

[@BOB-ro4hv]

Sissel never fails to leave me in awe of her phenomenal talent and beauty. Her performance of this beautiful song is extraordinary.

[@MrDayjur]

Me too BOB, Sissel is supremely gifted.

[@mkshffr4936]

I don't think I have ever heard a soprano with such a rich low register. Color me impressed.

[@xres1329]

Try Yma Sumac /6 octaves!/. And she was another great character, beauty and personal integrity - Sissel will not find my comparison bad -Albeit the style and temperament is definitely different... I share your enthusiasm though - Goes without saying..

[@leecowell8165]

That was the reason she was chosen for all the humming in the movie Titanic. Yeah listen to it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnLHiGhtbdV6qrc Absolutely mesmerizing... now remember she IS a Soprano. but you'd never know that listening to this.

I have been listening to this beautiful song since the Righteous Brothers first recorded it in the late 1960s, and have heard them perform it on stage More than once in Southern California in the early '80s.

The feeling she puts into it goes straight to a deep place in the heart, and takes your breath away. 😌💖💖
