NYC Subway Singer Leaves Passengers in Awe at the 23rd St. Station

Every once in a while, a subway performer sings on-key. A singer who goes by the name Mike Yung did way more than just that on Thursday when he belted "Unchained Melody" in a New York City station.

Yung's rendition of The Righteous Brothers classic evidently hit several emotional notes with the witnesses at the 23rd Street subway platform. Yung tweeted on Thursday a video that a passenger recorded of his performance, and just 20 hours later, his tweet had garnered more than 2,400 likes and 1,300 retweets.

The performer appears to have created his own Twitter account Thursday, perhaps inspired by the massively positive reception he has received in the past 24 hours. He replied to most of the positive comments left on his video, and he also wrote he was working on an original record.

Yung has been performing in the city for the past few years, and is often seen singing with the Majestic K Funk band. He has been recorded several times and his performances posted online.

Patch reached out to Yung and will update if we hear back.
