Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers

Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers

A beautiful song which I first heard in Ghost (we all remember that clay scene!) however you may have also heard it in Glee or other TV shows and films.

Parts of it are a little tricky due to the fancy voice warbles, however I’ve done my best to interpret them into letter notes which turned out lovely on the flute. I hope it sounds lovely for you too, whatever instrument you’re on!
