“Unchained Melody” Trivia: Did you know that this beautiful song was originally made popular and sang by the “Righteous Brothers”? It was in 1955 when Unchained Melody was composed by an artist named Hy Zaret and Alex North. North wrote the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (1955), hence the title of the song, and Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack.
This song became so popular that it was covered and revived by so many artists including none other than the King of Rock n Roll, Elvis Presley. In 1976, the King of Rock n Roll released his recording of this beautiful song and immediately became a hit.
Unchained Melody has been and still is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, with over 500 versions in a hundred different languages. It even became a Soundtrack for an Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning film, Ghost starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg. Today, this song is still a goodie classic tune that any generation can fall in love with.
Unchained Melody Lyrics
Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
“Wait for me, wait for me”
I’ll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered, for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Shortly after the song writers completed Unchained Melody, they shopped it out and a “unknown” blank singer, Al Hibbler, made a top hit of the song in 1956.
Look back at the “Hit Parade” then and you will see. I was in the 9th grade at the time and at sock hops the girls would swoon over Unchained Melody. I never had a problem getting a girl dance when that song was played. Then, years later, when I heard the Righteous Brothers version, it reminded me of those fun afternoon sock hops in 1956! I wish Al Hibbler would get more credit for his singing of the song. He es never mentioned in this post.
