...argument. Who wrote it? I say the Righteous Brothers. I also recently heard it sung by a group in Italian. Beautiful!! Do any of you know who does the song in Italian?

My friend I have a bet with over this song asks if there is group called IL Divo or something like that. He thinks their the Italians who sing it. Is there such a group?

There is a group called Il Divo, and they do sing "Unchained Melody" ("Senza Catene" in Italian). I've seen them perform on TV a couple of times. They're awesome! You can hear a clip of the song on Amazon.

William Stirrat (l), aka Hy Zaret, was 16 when he wrote lyrics. Alex North (r) wrote the music to “Unchained Melody.” Al Hibbler is believed to have been the first to sing the song.As far as the Italian singer you can do a search for them cause there are many who have done it,this way you can find the version you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

Ya, IL Divo have done it too, fairly recently I think! I'd also agree that the Righteous brothers did the song orginally.. but hey, I'm not quite as old so I dont know ;-)

The lyrics were written first, by William Stirrat (also known as Hy Zaret) in 1936 while at summer camp,

the righteous brothers COVERED it. it was originally written by Hy Zaret, apparently with the help of some guy named Alex North.

Don't know who does it in Italian, but you're right on who wrote it.
