Original Unchained Melody - 1955

submitted by nock

Ever wonder why the famous Righteous Brothers song was called "Unchained Melody"? It's because it's the melody from a 1955 movie called "Unchained". This is the very original version of one of the most popular songs ever recorded.

According to Wiki the all-knowing there were 3 different versions of this song that charted in the US top 10 in 1955, and 4 different versions of it were in the UK top 20 simultaneously. Certainly a different scene than we have now...
