SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:31 Min.
This uncredited (in terms of its actual performers) love song duet premiered at WWE’s SummerSlam in August 1991. It served as a musical narrative to a video montage of “Macho Man” Randy Savage & Miss Elizabeth’s on-screen romance before their ‘wedding ceremony.’ At the time, the WWE didn’t publicly acknowledge that the real-life couple had already been married for almost seven years. This track was subsequently collected for 2005’s WWE Anthology: The Federation Years, Volume 1.
Note: Evidently, Jimmy “Mouth of the South” Hart is among the song’s composers.
REVIEW:
No, “Together” doesn’t age well, as on-screen commentator Bobby Heenan’s mock gagging just before the Savage/Elizabeth video montage played at SummersSam 1991 may well attest to.
Still, despite its ultra-schmaltzy lyrics, one can appreciate this tune’s uncomplicated charm. There’s just something evocative in the unidentified duo’s voices that exudes a 70’s-style romantic melody. If the male vocalist isn’t Peabo Bryson, then his voice remarkably mimics Bryson’s. The female singer’s radiant voice also sounds vaguely familiar, but there’s really no way to place her specific name.
Regardless of these vocalists’ true identities, their nicely-synced chemistry delivers what this track is meant for — a nostalgic flashback to Savage & Elizabeth’s famous 1985-92 WWE run. In that sense, give the WWE some credit for a classy gesture.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6½ Stars
