Natasha Miller's Version Of The Bobby Sharp Classic Song 'Unchain My Heart' Featured In 'The Bank Job' DVD

ALAMEDA, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Marshall Lamm Promotions) - Bay Area vocalist Natasha Miller today announced her version of the Bobby Sharp song, 'Unchain My Heart,' featured in the Lionsgate film 'The Bank Job,' will be included in the film's DVD and Blu-Ray release on July 15. The song will be featured in deleted and extended scenes.

Inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at Lloyds Bank in London, Lionsgate's 'The Bank Job' stars Jason Statham (Transporter, Snatch, Crank, Italian Job) and Saffron Burrows (Klimt, Enigma). The heist thriller interweaves high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal in 1970s England. The film, released in theatres in March, was critically acclaimed and the No 1 film in England. 'Unchain My Heart' is in a scene near the beginning of the movie at 'The Players Club' where the two lead characters discuss their plans.

Famed songwriter Bobby Sharp penned 'Unchain My Heart,' in 1960. The song quickly became a hit for Ray Charles and again in 1987 for Joe Cocker. (The Joe Cocker version has been heard in a recent Lite Beer commercial.)

In 2003, Bobby Sharp heard Natasha Miller give a radio interview on KCSM Jazz 91 in the Bay Area. Upon hearing her on the radio, Bobby figured Natasha would appreciate his songs, so he sent them to her. When she opened the package of his songs, including never-before-heard gems, she knew she had discovered a long-lost treasure of the most beautiful jazz ballads — lyrically masterful, melodically exquisite, and harmonically alluring. Natasha released her historic first collection of Bobby's songs on the CD, Unchain My Heart, which includes the version in the film, and Natasha followed up with the second CD of Sharp originals, Don't Move. Both releases include music most of which had never been recorded or heard outside of Bobby's living room. Both CD's have garnered national acclaim. The Washington Post said, 'Full of charming treats and discoveries,' while the Philadelphia Daily News proclaimed, 'Natasha Miller elevates a set of vintage but previously unheard Sharp tunes to instant classic status on her beautifully performed and arranged set.'
