This 1955 song is one of the best ever recorded

Written by Alex North and Hy Zaret in 1955, this song is one of the most iconic ever, with its influence spanning decades.

Originally performed by Todd Duncan, it has since been covered by over 670 artists in different languages, but The Righteous Brothers’ 1965 version brought it lasting fame.

Their rendition is often considered the definitive version, with its soaring vocals and emotional depth capturing listeners around the world.

The song’s emotional intensity, highlighted by its powerful high notes, continues to resonate with listeners.

On a video of the song, which has reached 76 million views, one fan even commented: “I swear I can feel the chills going up and down my back when he hits those high notes. I feel like crying knowing that this amazing man is gone.”

In addition to The Righteous Brothers, Elvis Presley also gave Unchained Melody a new dimension when he performed it live.

Elvis, known for his versatility and charisma, added his own emotional weight to the song during his later years, captivating audiences with his impassioned delivery.

His version has helped the song maintain its timeless appeal and secure a place in pop culture history.
