Some songs just never fade away, no matter how much time goes by, and they seem to be made to last forever. One of those songs is Unchained Melody. A lot of people don’t realize that it was originally written for the movie Unchained, which tells the story of a prisoner who has to choose between finishing his sentence or escaping to be with his family.
The music was created by Alex North, and the lyrics were written by Hy Zaret. Unchained Melody is one of the most recorded songs from the 20th century, with a famous version by The Righteous Brothers.
It became super popular again when it was used in the movie Ghost in 1990. The scene where Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore are making pottery together while the song plays in the background is considered really memorable by many people.
One of the videos of The Righteous Brothers’ rendition has been seen over 76 million times.
I can totally feel the shivers running up and down my spine when he hits those high notes. It makes me want to cry just thinking about how this incredible guy is no longer with us, one fan wrote under the video.
Elvis Presley was another legendary artist who brought a fresh vibe to Unchained Melody.
The way this song blends with Elvis’ amazing singing always stirs up strong feelings whenever he performed it.
