1990: 25 years after it initially peaked #4 on the Billboard charts, the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody” returns to the top of the UK charts after being prominently featured in the hit film Ghost.
Ironically, the song was never intended to be a hit. It was first released as the B-side of the Righteous Brothers' single, “Hung on You.” However, disc jockeys ignored the A-side and made the B-side a success. As was typical at the time, Phil Spector had little interest in the B-side. In fact, Bill Medley produced the session, and only ONE Righteous Brother, Bobby Hatfield, is actually singing on the recording.
1969: A family vocal group from Gary, Indiana signs with Motown Records on this day. The Jackson 5 will soon leave a large mark on pop music history.
BTW the group was brought to the attention of Motown head honcho, Barry Gordy, by Gladys Knight. Somehow, by the time the group’s debut album hit the record bins, Diana Ross was listed on the cover as their “Presenter.”
