Release Me" (sometimes rendered as "Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)", is a popular song written by Eddie Miller, Robert Yount, and James Pebworth[1] under the pseudonym Dub Williams,[2][3] 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 1949. 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.[4] A version by Engelbert Humperdinck reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.[5] 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, and eventually became one of the best selling singles of all time with sales of 1.38 million copies.Other versions[edit] Patti Page (1968, 1998) Ray Price (1954) Kitty Wells (1954) Jimmy Heap (1954) Jerry Lee Lewis (1958) Little Esther Phillips (1962) Everly Brothers (1963)[11] Matt Monro (1967) Los Quandos in Spanish with the title "Sueltame"(1967) Johnny Adams (1968) Earl Grant (1968) Jerry Lee Lewis (1969) Elvis Presley (1970) Victor Wood covered this song in the album Mr. Lonely (1971).
