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

First recorded in 1955, *Unchained Melody* has become “one of music’s most cherished and timeless classics.” Written for the film *Unchained*, it tells of a prisoner’s inner conflict—whether to finish his sentence or escape to reunite with his family. This powerful theme of “yearning and sacrifice” resonated deeply with audiences.

The music, composed by Alex North with lyrics by Hy Zaret, created an unforgettable piece that has since become one of the most frequently reinterpreted songs of the 20th century.

Many artists have recorded *Unchained Melody*, but *The Righteous Brothers’* rendition became definitive. Their soulful performance added “emotional depth,” making it an iconic version that still captivates listeners today.
