Alex North wrote the music to Unchained Melody as a theme for the little-known 1955 prison film titled ’Unchained’. Unchained Melody has since become one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century. Over 1,500 recordings of ’Unchained Melody’ have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages. 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. Hatfield changed the melody in the final verse and many subsequent covers of Unchained Melody are based on the Righteous Brothers version. Of the hundreds of recordings made, the Righteous Brothers’ 1965 version became the standard after its release.
