Another music question. Trivia, NO GOOGLE!

What song also recorded by the Righetous Brothers (which was a #4 in the US, and #1 in the UK) is redone for Goodfellas, and who sings the version in the movie?

Hmm. I'm gonna go with "Unchained Melody"

My guess is Bobby Darin. I remember the scene where Ray Liotta's character goes into a nightclub and he is immediately moved to the front of the room right in front of a singer who buys him some champagne.

EDIT: Everybody wonders why the song is called Unchained Melody. Well, that's because it was the theme song in an old, forgotten prison movie called Unchained. If you're looking for a more contemporary singer who redid the song for Goodfellas, I'm gonna guess Chris Isaacs.

Well, since no answer was posted, I looked it up. It's performed by Vito and The Salutations. I've never heard of them.
