“Release Me” is a popular song written by Eddie Miller, Robert Yount, and James Pebworth , published in 1946.
Miller wrote the song in 1946 but 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.

A version by Engelbert Humperdinck reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. Continue reading →
