The music was composed by Alex North, with lyrics by Hy Zaret. Though the film itself faded into history, the song took on a life of its own. Over the decades, it has been recorded hundreds of times, but it was the powerful 1965 version by The Righteous Brothers that turned it into a global phenomenon.
Its popularity soared once again in 1990 after it was featured in the hit film Ghost. The unforgettable pottery scene between Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore became one of the most iconic moments in movie history, sealing the song’s emotional legacy for a new generation.
