Unchained Melody Take 3

On June 21, 1977, music history was made when the legendary Elvis Presley took the stage at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City, South Dakota.
The crowd, a mix of devoted fans and curious onlookers, had no idea they were about to witness a performance that would become etched in their memories forever.
That night, Elvis Presley delivered a soul-stirring rendition of 'Unchained Melody' that showcased his vocal prowess, emotional depth, and undeniable charisma.

His concerts were more than just music; they were electrifying experiences that united generations. Elvis' distinctive voice and magnetic stage presence allowed him to captivate audiences across the world, making every live performance an unforgettable event.

'Unchained Melody', originally composed by Alex North with lyrics by Hy Zaret, had already achieved fame through various renditions by different artists such as the Righteous Brothers and Jimmy Young. However, Elvis had a unique ability to infuse his own emotions into every song he sang, making each performance an intimate journey for both him and his audience.

The song's haunting melody and poignant lyrics lent themselves perfectly to Elvis' vocal style, providing him with a canvas to express his deepest emotions.

Elvis' concert in Rapid City was a part of his 1977 tour, which would sadly become one of his final tours before his untimely passing in August of the same year.

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
