“Unchained Melody” is a timeless masterpiece that was composed by Alex North with lyrics by Hy Zaret in 1955 as a song for the prison film “Unchained”. Rerecorded by the Righteous Brothers in 1965, “Unchained Melody” became a BILLBOARD hit after it appeared in “Ghost”. As one of the most recorded songs of the 20th CENTURY, “Unchained Melody” has become a favorite of many famous artists.

For the first time ever, “Unchained Melody” has been recorded in the traditional Hawaiian style of slack key guitar. Exclusively from Dylanna Music and SSPMC, the unique version showcases the complexities and originality of “Unchained Melody”.

The Hawaiian version of “Unchained Melody” is now available on iTunes. Other versions will be released shortly.
