Some songs are simply meant to last a lifetime and never get old, no matter how much time passes. One such song is Unchained Melody. Few people know that the song was initially written for the film Unchained, which is about a prisoner who has to choose between serving out the rest of his sentence and escaping to see his loved ones.
Especially by The Righteous Brothers, Hy Zaret’s cover of Alex North’s “Unchained Melody” is among the most recorded songs of the 20th century.
It became well-known once more after its role in the 1990 film Ghost. The scene in which Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze collaborate to make pottery while the music plays in the background is considered legendary by many.
