Hi, This is John in Jacksonville Florida, I'm a 15 year associate at Sam's Club ,Every night on Wal-mart radio the song "Unchained Melody comes on, I know it's been recorded by many artists, I thought it might be Al Hibler but I bought a collection of rock classics and it didn't sound the same, I love the version you play every night, can you tell me who it is? Thanks! John([email protected])

Irish rock group U2 recorded a cover of the song as a B-side on the "All I Want Is You" single in 1989. The song was first performed live by the band during the Zoo TV Tour where a brief form of the song was frequently sung after "One," such as the performance on the Zoo TV: Live from Sydney video. The song was played in full by U2 about 20 times during their PopMart Tour, but has since only returned to their live shows a handful of times in its original brief form.
