the song is not about a guy asking if his girl is still mad at him. it is about a man who has been gone from home for a very long time (he was in prison) and he is expressing the long and lonely span of time he was away and he is asking if she waits for him still. "are you still mine..." Men who have been in prison or in the military and were gone from their families for a long time can all relate very closely to this song. Imagine if you can how it would feel to come back and to have your wife - your woman rush to your arms and wrap herself around you and to welcome you back into her heart and into her life. That is what this song is about

I remember when first hearing him sing "...and time goes by so slowly" I was thinking, "no, it really seems to go by pretty fast as an adult; but when I found out it was being sung by someone who is serving time, I could easily understand why he would feel like time was going by very slowly.

@@MaddyReactions 1965 is when color TV 1st came in and it was expensive to produce. The color in the video could have been enhanced if it wasn't from a heavy handed makeup artist trying to show color so they didn't look washed out. Check out both brothers singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" on the Ed Sullivan TV show, which also was in color, and they don't have an abundance of "Florida Tans" but perform this show tune live amazingly. With the incredible vocals of the Righteous Brothers even listening to one of their records is off the charts. Records are a solo by Bobby singing "Ebbtide" and a hot blues song with the baritone Bill Medley singing lead in "I Want To Make Love To You".

The Incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. No one has sung this song better then when Bobby Hatfield sang this song (Live) 58 years ago in (1965) on the Andy Williams Show. This performance by Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra has become the quintessential version of "Unchained Melody" of them all. This version has been used by every recording artist ever since. This performance has gone done as the greatest live television performance ever. Rest in Peace Bobby Hatfield for you are truly missed. Note: "Unchained Melody" was composed as the music score for a (1955) Prison Movie titled "Unchained." The music was composed by multi-award-winning composer Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret (1955). The song has been performed and sung by close to one thousand artist and orchestras for the past 68 years. One of the most beautiful melodies ever written. The lyrics by Hy Zaret had to do with a family man wrongfully imprison in a Minimum-Security Prison with no Cells, no Bars and no Chains. The loneliness of missing his wife and child gets to be unbearable when (Time) is all he has. That is the fate of prisoners who have loved ones on the outside...Will they still be there waiting for them when they are released from prison.

In my mind it is about a boy waiting in Vietnam for his active duty to end so he can come home! Since that usually lasted 3 years back then, it is possible that your girl couldn't wait that long for you and she might find another man. The song is about holding on to the hope that your girl will still be there waiting for you when you get home!

This first appeared in the 1955 movie Unchained, starring the former football player Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch. The movie takes place in a prison, and the song was written for the movie to reflect the mood of the prisoners as they wait for time to pass. Alex North wrote the music, Hy Zaret wrote the lyrics, and a singer named Todd Duncan sang the version in the movie. Duncan went on to become a popular vocal instructor. When the movie came out, an orchestral version by Les Baxter was released along with a version by Al Hibbler. Baxter's version hit #1 in the US; Hibbler's went to #3. The Righteous Brothers' version came out ten years later, and then was released again for the 1990 film, "Ghost." It was a top fifteen hit both times.

In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family

This song "Unchained Melody" was written in 1955 by Mr. Alex North and Lyrics by Mr. Hy Zaret for a prison movie called, "Chained". It was about a man who missed his girlfriend so much he was thinking about escaping cause the love that he had for her was unbearable and he was wondering that if he finished his sentence would she wait for her. The original singer was sung by The First Black American Opera Singer, Mr. Todd Duncan. As time went on well over six hundred and something artists have sang this song including Elvis Presley and even Linda Ronstadt. "Unchained Melody" was the Most played song in America in the Twenth Century and throughout the UK. What you have just watched was a Mr. Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers singing it in 1965 on a TV show called, "The Andy Williams Show. Later in 1990 they came out with a movie called "Ghost " starring Patrick Swaytz and Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg. In the movie they played Mr. Bobby Hatfield's version of it since it was the very best version everywhere. And Maddy it was a pretty show as well..If you happen to have the time you ought to check it out. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Where do you get the idea of his girl being mad at him? Because there's nothing in the song about it. He asks (twice), “Are you still mine?”, because he hasn't seen her for so long (he was in prison). He knows that “time can do so much”, and he worries about their long-distance relationship.

In addition, Maddy doesn't say, "I thought there were brothers. Where's the other brother?" I've seen a lot of first-time reactors to this song wondering what happened to the other guy. As we music veterans all know, Bill Medley yielded to Bobby on this song and let him go solo on it. There is even an intro on other videos in which Andy Williams talks to Bob and Bill and Bill jokes that he goes into the corner and kicks himself for not having taken the song.

Couldn’t be more wrong about the origins of the song and what it meant in 1965. It was the height of the Vietnam War and people were leaving without wanting to and knowing they might not come back. The context in 1955 when composed has already been commented on.

Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) -Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice to Bill Medley’s -William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940)-baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. In 2003, Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63. *The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side. * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and he left. He said, 'No, I can do it better.' And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song." * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."

The song was the theme song for the 1956 movie "Unchained". The movie was about a prisoner who was battling with himself about whether to escape or serve the remainder of his time. The song was sung in the movie with a guitar. This song has been covered by nearly 1000 artist, but Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brother on this redition owned it. This on stage performance was on the Andy Williams Show in 1965. It has been #1 one the charts 3 times. It was in the movie Ghost. That was not makeup it was a Tan. His parents were in the audience that night.

Written for the prison movie "Unchained" in the 1950s, it originally questioned whether his girlfriend still loved him while he was doing time. In the 1960s, when Bobby Hatfield (half the Righteous Brothers) sang it, it became a love letter home from every soldier in the jungles of Vietnam. So, not questioning if she was mad at him, but was the time apart too much for their relationship to last.

"UNCHAINED MELODY". From what I have read, this soul-wrenching song was originally written as a letter by a man who was spending a "long and lonely time" in prison. It was later made into a song and sung by many singers but was made quite famous by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers in the 1960's. The prisoner, writing to someone he deeply loved, expressing to her that "I hunger for your touch", wanting to know "are you still mine" and how much "I need your love", wanting her to "wait for me" as I would someday be "coming home". A very touching and heart-felt song. Hope this helps put it in deeper perspective.

Bill Medley was only 25 the night he performed this live on the Andy Williams Show, 1965. I was seven and saw this performance. Back then there was no cable TV. You got four networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and your local PBS and that was it. Watching TV was a family event and variety shows like this were huge. You had this show and the biggest show of all The End Sullivan Show on Sunday nights. Sullivan was so important to popular music. He was older but introduced The Beatles to America in February, 1964 and 73 million tuned in for that which still may be a record for the largest audience for a TV show now, 59 years later. He gave us The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and so so many bands and solo artist from America and the UK. It's a who's who of popular music from the sixties. Also pretty much every black soul artist from that time. I remember seeing The Jackson 5 for the first time in 1969 with their performance of "I Want You Back". So many great soul artists like Diana Road And The Supremes, The Four Topps, Marvin Gaye, The Spinners, The Fifth Dimension and just so many others. I saw it all from The Beatles and everyone else from A to Z. Great time to be a kid back then. Only a woman would pick out too much make up on him. Hilarious! I enjoyed that one. Peace ❤

The next day I was about to turn my oven on and it dawned on me. Did I check the oven yesterday? I open the door and there sat a pizza box with half a pizza in it. I'm still sketched out as to why would I come home and put a pizza box in the oven? Good thing I checked and didn't turn the oven on, that could have not turned out very well. Several days ago it was hot as hell here and wasn't cooking. I put a frozen dinner in the microwave for 5 minutes. I opened the door to stir potatoes and there was no dinner. I put it in the fridge. That's a little concerning, I'm 65, if I make it to 75 or 85 what the hell is that gonna look like? Wait about 30 years young lady, you're in for a treat. When that guy corrected me I had to go back and check. I know all day, everyday that's Bobby Hatfield. I haven't a clue young lady were my brain was at. Definitely a brain fart moment. Here's a song for you, Bob Dylan from his 1965 iconic Lp "Bringing It All Back Home" the song is "It's Alright Ma ( I'm Only Bleeding) there's a live version video from 65 and it's great but the technology for sound wasn't real good back then.

This film clip is from The Andy Williams Show's 1965 Valentines Day Special; a longer and "restored" version of this show the other other, Bill Medley dressed identically to Bobby Hatfield, Andy Williams is wearing a pink pullover and whit pants. Unchained Melody IS Bobby's song; many sang it before him and still more afterwards, but no one has come close to equaling his amazing vocal talents. I we had seen the longer version, Andy Williams, an extremely accomplished vocalist along the lines of Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Dean Martin, was talking with them, it was mostly scripted, and Bobby was the key respondant; he appeared to be out of breath, huffing & puffing like he had just done a lap around the parking lot. Actually, he was suffering from an upper respiratory infection, a had cold or bronchitis. On top of his ailment, he suffered from chronic, intense stage fright, to the point of losing his lunch, rather violently, before going on stage. If that wasn't enough, his mother was in the audience watching her 25-year-old son performing live for the very first time and he was terribly worried about disappointing her. I think it's safe to say that absolutely no one was disappointed with his performance on that Valentines Day. Re: the longer clip. Bill and Bobby had an agreement that they would each have one solo song on all of their albums. They both wanted to do Unchained very, very much and neither of them would give in. Finally, they decided to let the toss of a coin make the decision; I think the coin got it right. Thanks for the great reaction!

This song is from a (bad) prison movie called Unchained (hence Unchained Melody). Hundreds of singers have attempted this song but Bobby Hatfield owns it! To set the stage, his mom was in the audience, never having heard him perform live before. This is on the Andy Williams show. He had a slight head cold and was worried about that last note and having a little bit of stage fright. Nailed it! Not even Elvis could do this song justice. IMHO this is better than the studio release because he went high at the end. Bobby sang tenor/countertenor so that high note was not falsetto, it was in his natural range. He made it look so effortless! Three minutes of sheer perfection, live, no auto-tune! RIP Bobby.

I must have been 11 when they tore up the Ed Sullivan show. The tv was black and white. Okay I’m old. But I remember those good days when music of the 60’s and 70’s was KING!❤

Best male vocals I have ever heard with no auto tune, just pure talent and dedication with his voice. Only one that even came close to singing this song would be Elvis. Nobody today will ever be able to repeat this timeless classic here 👏

Honey this song was written and composed in 1955 by a Hi Zaret and Alex for a prison movie called "Unchained". And the original person who sang this song "Unchained Melody" was the First African American Opera Singer, named Mr. Todd Duncan. It had nothing to do if his supposedly girl was mad or not mad at him at all but if she were still in love with him and would still be waiting for him when he would get out. He was imprisoned in a minium security prison but their separation to him was unbearable. He wanted and needed her so much that he was thinking about breaking out just so he could be with her or just finish his time. That is what the song was supposed to be about. Anyway, this was the most played song in America and throughout the UK in the Twentieth Century. It has had about 1500 recordings with at least 670 artists singing it in multiple languages. And included with these artists were Linda Ronstadt and also Elvis Presley. The song "Unlimited Melody" really came back to life in the 1990 movie "Ghost" starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg. They were looking for the best artist to have ever sung it and when they had heard Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers who was singing it on a TV program show called "The Andy Williams Show" back in 1965, they had finally found the best singer of them all. The only other singer that had a *perfect pitch" was Mariah Carey who has not sang it. I really enjoyed listening to it very, very much. Unfortunately they just don't write or sing beautiful romantic love songs like that anymore. Once again young lady, I truly, sincerely thank you. You gotta' lotta' class. You really know good music. Adios. PS: And if course the movie "Ghost" was not a prison movie. I cannot tell you what it was about but in this very beautiful romantic love song that was played it showed how much she really meant to him but wished he would have shown her more how much he really loved her. How much he cared for her the way she did for him. In plain English girl, please take the time if you possibly can and try to watch the movie "Ghost". I promise you honey, you will be glad you did.

This was originally the theme song for a 1950s prison movie named "Unchained" not sure who did it for the movie but Bobby Hatfield (RIP) owns it. What he is asking in the song is "are you still mine" not mad.
