Hard to wipe that image of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and the potter's wheel in 1990's Ghost, but 'Unchained Melody' was almost a cliché even as far back as 1965, having been subjected to numerous versions already. This is the lasting take though, pretty much a solo performance by Bobby Hatfield while the other Brother Bill Medley produced (although Phil Spector took the credit).
