“I think if Unchained Melody does what I think it can do, I think there is an audience out there that would heave a sigh of relief, that finally there is a melody and orchestration, production and a vocalist that is giving them a song that they can just listen to ... and not be annoyed by the vocal acrobatics that vocalists seem to think is impressive.”
Barry Manilow
“We know consumers are interested in being unchained from the sink.”
Michael Kehoe
“It did feel a bit special all along. I think it?s got some of my best melodies in it. It?s the only one of my musicals which never changed from its first preview to its opening night.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber
“Melody kept the ball down and had a lot of ground balls. ... I think the more she throws, the better she's going to get. She's getting better with every pitch.”
Kelly Sears
“Melody is an important part of all the music I've written. I think that's why it has been so successful. It's music that sticks in your head.”
Chuck Mangione
“Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal. A parable.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous”
Yehudi Menuhin
