Most people recognize the song “Unchained Melody” from the movie Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg.
Sam Wheat (Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Moore) are madly in love with each other, and there is a scene where they work on clay as the song plays out for the moment.
It’s a scene so iconic, that movie fans recognize it as one of the most powerful romantic moments on screen.
The song itself has aged gracefully since its release in 1955.
It was in 1965 when the Righteous Brothers recorded their version, the one we all know and love so well.
Just how famous is this song?
Well there are over 1,500 recordings of “Unchained Melody” made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages across the planet.
Add Cassandra Star to that long list.
Cassandra Star Armstrong, at a young age, has never thought of being anything other than a performer.
“I’ve honestly never thought of anything else,” Cassandra said. “I’ve always been singing and humming and dancing and I love to make people happy.”
At just 10-years-old, she found herself performing with Broadway stars, and nowadays, she’s a popular singer on YouTube.
Cassandra sings it all, and this classic is just another of her amazing covers.
She dedicates this one to her nana and papa with all her love.
This 11-year-old knows it’s their favorite.
Cassandra and her sister Calahan don’t create complicated videos. It’s usually just them singing in front of a camera.
They will fix themselves up and change the background but that’s about it.
Not bad for a young lady who got her start helping and entertaining kids during the pandemic back in her hometown.
True to the original, Cassandra sings “Unchained Melody” with the same… melody.
Here is some praise and sound advice from an elderly viewer,
“This was my mother’s favorite song and became a favorite of mine. You sing beautifully and you are adorable.”
“What an honor that you sang this in dedication to your grandparents.”
“Please keep the LORD first in your life,no matter what. (I am old enough to be your grandmother.)Hold onto your innocence.”
Cassandra and her sister aren’t shy when it comes to their Christian faith.
It’s a slow, melancholic song and the lyrics speak of longing for a lover as if his life depended on her.
But don’t we all depend on someone?
The flowers, pink curtains with lights and her dress give such a sweet innocence to her singing and the piano just makes it such a delight to listen to.
More praises from another viewer who says,
“WOW, the Talent that u have been given, Cassandra is absolutely Stunning!!”
“If u Sing this Well at 11, your Life going fwd will be full of beautiful Possibilities!! God Bless”
Let’s hope Cassandra stays with her calling.
If she can make a classic sound so beautiful, then she can make any other song sound special.
