This song was recorded in 1955, but it remains one of the most iconic songs ever made

First recorded in 1955, *Unchained Melody* has grown into one of music’s most beloved songs. Some songs transcend time, continuing to resonate with listeners across decades, and *Unchained Melody* is undoubtedly one of these enduring classics. Originally composed for the film *Unchained*, the song unfolds the poignant story of a prisoner conflicted between finishing his sentence or escaping to reunite with his family.

With music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret, *Unchained Melody* became one of the most frequently covered songs of the 20th century, with The Righteous Brothers’ version being especially adored. The song’s popularity soared once again in 1990 when it was featured in the film *Ghost*, particularly during the famous pottery scene with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore—a cinematic moment that remains iconic even today.
