More on Unchained Melody
Description from Wikipedia:
"Unchained Melody" is a popular song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. It is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, by some counts having spawned over 500 versions in hundreds of different languages.
In 1955, North used the music as a theme for the obscure prison film Unchained, and hence the name as the "Unchained Melody".
Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. Les Baxter (Capitol Records catalog number 3055), released an instrumental version which reached 2. Then song recordings were released by Al Hibbler (Decca Records #29441) reaching 3 on the Billboard charts, Jimmy Young which hit 1 on the British charts, and Roy Hamilton (Epic Records no. 9102) reaching 1 on the R&B Best Sellers list and 6 on the pop chart. Hundreds of other recordings followed.
However, the July-1965 version by The Righteous Brothers became a jukebox standard for the late 20th century, and it regained massive popularity when used in the 1990 blockbuster film Ghost.
