Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody

"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the prison film Unchained (1955), hence the song title. The best-known version of "Unchained Melody" was recorded by the duo the Righteous Brothers in 1965. The lead vocal was performed solo by Bobby Hatfield. According to his singing partner Bill Medley, they had agreed to do one solo piece each per album. Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss. "Unchained Melody" reappeared in the charts in 1990 after the Righteous Brothers' recording was used in the box-office blockbuster film Ghost. This copy dated 1973 also comes with the song, You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling on the B-Side.
