An incredibly talented street performer captivated with her chilling rendition of The Righteous Brothers' classic "Unchained Melody."
There are several songs that are considered classics. Of course, the passage of time is necessary for a tune to be correctly deemed a "classic." How does the song stand up against time? Is it still loved and remembered 10, 20 or 30 years after its release? Do people immediately recognize it and sing along whenever it comes on the radio?
Thanks to the invention of social media, another way to help determine if a song has reached "classic" status is if hundreds of other musicians cover it. YouTube is littered with musicians playing other musicians' tunes. Musicians will record and then post themselves covering beloved songs. Most people will agree that some are fantastic, while others should have never been performed or at least recorded.
One song that is definitely a classic is "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers. Although it was released decades ago, people can still quickly identify it, often within the first couple of notes.
Additionally, despite its age, that tune gets the cover treatment from nearly every artist. Allie Sherlock is one of the latest musicians to cover the beloved song by The Righteous Brothers. The young woman's version is outstanding.
While playing the guitar, Allie beautifully sings the lyrics that we all know and love. Her stunning performance on the side of the street also pleased several. As the four-minute clip shows, she amassed a sizable crowd taking in her public performance.
This young woman, as she has shown in video after video, can essentially sing and perform nearly every tune, regardless of genre or style. This video is yet another display of her God-given musical talent.
