About the Song
"Release Me" is a popular song by Eddie Miller, Robert Yount, and Dub Williams, 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. Subsequently a big seller was recorded by Little Esther Phillips, who reached #1 on the R&B charts and #8 on the pop charts. . A version by Engelbert Humperdinck reached #1 on the UK charts. The Engelbert Humperdinck song has the distinction in the UK of holding the number one slot in the chart for six weeks during March and April 1967, and 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, recording over one million sales. Edward Monroe "Eddie" Miller (December 10,.    Download this sheet!
