Hey members!

We’re throwing it back to one of the most iconic love songs ever recorded: 'Unchained Melody' by The Righteous Brothers—a timeless ballad that’s been melting hearts since 1965. Suggested by our amazing members @Sengstock, @Dotty33, @Crestwood 96, this soul-stirring track is all about yearning for someone you can’t be with…yet.

Though often assumed to be original to The Righteous Brothers, 'Unchained Melody' was actually written way back in 1955—and covered by over 1,500 artists! But it’s this version, sung by Bobby Hatfield with that soaring, spine-tingling vocal, that became definitive. It found a whole new wave of love in the 1990 film Ghost—you know the scene —and cemented its status as a romantic classic for the ages.

Give it a listen—and drop your next Sunday Classic pick in the comments! Who knows, we might feature your favourite next!

Both songs are fantastic. The second one brings reality to the fore.
