This has to be one of the greatest performances of this beautiful ballad written for the 1955 prison film 'Unchained' I have ever heard. My goodness! My high school band and chorus never sounded like this...
The song was composed by Alex North (1910-1991), and the lyrics were written by Hy Zaret (1907-2007).
The song was first sung in the film by African American Opera Singer, Howard University Professor, and Broadway and film actor Todd Duncan.
Since 1955 the song has been sung by most recording artist in the world. It has since become one of the most recorded songs in the history of music.
In 1965 the late great Bobby Hatfield of the 'Righteous Brothers' gave one of the greatest live performances ever in the history of television. That performance cemented his version as the quintessential version of them all. It is the version that every recording artist has used, and uses today.
