Created by Alex North and Hy Zaret in 1955, this song is truly one of the most famous ever, impacting music for many years.
Todd Duncan was the first to perform it, but more than 670 artists have covered it in various languages since then. However, it was The Righteous Brothers’ version in 1965 that really made it famous.
Many people believe their performance is the best, thanks to its amazing vocals and deep emotions that connect with audiences everywhere.
The song’s strong feelings, especially those impressive high notes, still touch listeners today.
A video of the song has gotten 76 million views, and one fan wrote: “I can totally feel chills running up and down my back when he hits those high notes. It makes me want to cry knowing this incredible man is no longer with us.”
Besides The Righteous Brothers, Elvis Presley also made Unchained Melody special when he sang it live.
