It’s the king, man. With all due respect to the righteous brothers, this isn’t even close.

 

[Osprey]

The King's version is alright but doesn't compare to the version by the king of reggae.

 

[Jumptheshark]

unchained

As much as I don't care for Elvis's bad movie phase of the 60s, one in awhile when motivated he could still record a gem in the studio. Can't Help Falling In Love is one of his better 60s songs, though it doesn't match up to his 50s stuff.

Can't Help Falling in Love. I used to sing it to my two daughters at bedtime when they were infants.

I actually like the Elvis version of "Unchained Melody" better than the Righteous Brothers.



Also, liked Are You Lonesome Tonight over Can't Stop Falling In Love.

If I'm sitting in front of a pottery wheel, it's no contest.

It might depend on who's sitting behind you. I can think of some possibilities that could make me never want to hear Unchained Melody again.

Elvis all the way. RB's song is too wimpy for male vocals. I like this version by a young Leann.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I don't like Elvis at all but absolutely love that song. I like both, but that one stands out to me.

 

[CTC]

Can't help, absolutely, and its been covered forever but my favorite edition of it, is done by Haley Reinhart. A piano jazz room style that just comes off as sweet and genuine.

[Unholy Diver]

Can't help falling in love, it was my wedding song so it gets my vote

 

[WeThreeKings]

Can't help falling in love ezy

 

[HanSolo]

Even though I'm mildly traumatized by an ex who used to sing that to me to cheer me up on bad days, it's Can't Help Falling in Love without question.

Unchained

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Unchained Melody. Bobby Hatfield's vocal is one of the greatest in pop music history.

 

[PB37]

Elvis was my first musical love. I was a teenager in the 90's and listening to Elvis in 94 instead of Nirvana.

With that said, Unchained Melody gets my vote. It's just one of those rare songs that can topple a king's work.

I'll say Corey Hart's "Can't Stop Falling In Love" is horrid. Covering Elvis is never a good idea especially if you lack talent.
