Release Me
"Release Me" is a popular song by Eddie Miller, Robert Yount, and Dub Williams, published in 1946. Miller could not get anyone to record it for years, so he recorded it himself in 1953. Shortly afterward it was covered by Jimmy Heap, and with even better success by Ray Price and Kitty Wells. Subsequently a big seller was recorded by Little Esther Phillips, who reached number one on the R&B chart and number eight on the pop chart. The 1967 version by Engelbert Humperdinck was the most successful. It held the number-one slot in the UK chart for six weeks during March and April 1967, preventing The Beatles single, "Penny Lane" / "Strawberry Fields Forever", from reaching the top. "Release Me" was also the highest selling single of 1967 in the UK, with over one million sales.
