    Default very old famous song...

    i'm trying to find the name of a very old song. it's a classic and slow/sad. by a male singer. definitely before the 80s. only part i remember is catchy and he's singing "whoaaaa oh oh oh ohohoh" he repeats this a few times throughout the song i really can't remember any of the other words in the song. can anyone help?

    no that's actually not it...it's a lot less rock. more slow and romantic. reminds me a bit of the righteous brother's "unchained melody" and the voice like elvis presley's

    That Elvis-comment made me think of Mud's "Lonely this Christmas"...
    I always thought that Les Gray sounded like Elvis in that song

    Maybe it's something by Mud?

    My wild guess is most anything by Tom Jones.
    I believe his song "It's Not Unusual" has more Whoa Whoas that most songs but the tempo is upbeat, not slow/sad.

    It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you
    Whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Whoa-whoa-oh-oh
    Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title
