First recorded in 1955, Unchained Melody has become an enduring classic, celebrated today as one of the greatest songs of all time. Certain tunes transcend generations, and this one is no exception. Originally written for the film Unchained, the song’s narrative follows a prisoner torn between finishing his sentence or escaping to reunite with his family.

The song saw a powerful resurgence in 1990 with its inclusion in the film Ghost, where the unforgettable pottery scene featuring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore solidified its place in pop culture history.
