About Release Me and Let Me Love Again
"Release Me" (sometimes rendered as "Release Me (and Let Me Love Again)") is a country song written by Eddie Miller and Robert Yount in 1949. Four years later it was recorded by Jimmy Heap & the Melody Masters (in 1953), and with even better success by Ray Price (1954), Kitty Wells (1954), and Patti Page (1961). Jimmy Dean recorded a version of the song in 1959. Jivin' Gene Bourgeois & the Jokers recorded the tune in 1960, and that version served as an inspiration for Little Esther Phillips, who reached number one on the R&B chart and number eight on the pop chart with her big-selling cover. The Everly Brothers followed in 1963, along with Lucille Starr including a translation in French (1964), Jerry Wallace (1966), Dean Martin (1967), and Engelbert Humperdinck (1967), whose version reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.
