ReStructure Mix Update (8/26/20) “Unchained Melody/Need Your Love” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Clem Curtis

Clem Curtis is a singer from Trinidad, West Indies who was originally from a group called The Foundations from 1966 through 1968. The disco era was fortunate enough to have Clem record his cover version of The Righteous Brothers 1964 hit produced by Phil Spector, “Unchained Melody” with a disco arrangement produced by Tony Sadler. Clem’s single was released in 1979 on RCA Records and is one of the underground favorites among those DJ’s who did not miss it due to over saturation of this big disco year. This dance version allows Clem to deliver a wonderful vocal over a 70’s funky arrangement with guitars and the sweet strings sweeping across the groove. The titled “Unchained Melody” comes from the film that the song was featured in titled “Unchained” released in 1955.

I have taken Clem’s beautiful disco version and reworked a new ReStructure Mix which pays homage to The Righteous Brothers version and rearranges the original without the camp chorus girls. The vocal is extended as rightfully as it should for this new disco sparkler.
