We&#8217;ll also feature some very unique and heartfelt renditions of &#8220;Unchained Melody&#8221; by Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps (1957), New York&#8217;s Vito &amp; The Salutations (1963) and the mega-selling 1965 Righteous Brothers classic. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>So listen and then vote for your favorite version of &#8220;Unchained Melody.&#8221;  With over 500 covers of this tune, I couldn&#8217;t feature them all, but I think all six that are featured here are worth your time.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a title=\"Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/FNCF\/2011\/01\/06\/172011-the-unchained-melody-cat-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here To Listen To The FNCF Podcast<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast with Matt The Cat, six versions of the classic tune, &#8220;Unchained Melody&#8221; compete for YOUR vote.
