● The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody (1965). Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield started out as members of The Paramours. In 1962, the two decided to leave the five-member group to form a duo. They finally found their name at a show with The Paramours when a fan shouted “That was righteous, brothers!”.

The song is named “Unchained Melody” not because it concerns itself with the various freedoms of romantic love, but because it was originally written for the movie "Unchained" (1955) about life in prison, based on the book "Prisoners Are People" (1952). This is a solo performance by Bobby Hatfield on NBC (1965).
