"Unchained Melody" is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, by some counts having spawned over 500 versions.[1] The lyrics, which describe a prisoner's anguished longing for his wife, were written by William Stirrat (also known as Hy Zaret) in 1936 while at a summer camp, in an attempt to woo a young girl. At the same camp, Stirrat met Alex North, later a renowned film composer, and North composed the melody for the song.
In 1955, North used the music as a theme for the now obscure prison film Unchained. That same year, the song fimally saw commercial release. The song was wildly popular: one week saw no fewer than four different cover versions in the top 30 on the British charts.[citation needed] The four artists covering the song are listed in the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles as: Jimmy Young, Les Baxter, Al Hibbler and Liberace, in May and June 1955.

Not sure which version you're referring to as it's been covered by many people but one of the most popular versions is the one by The Righteous Brothers. It's the version in the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze, Whoopie Goldberg & Demi Moore. Another popular version is by Elvis Presley.
Unchained Melody lyrics -
Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Jet black hair. I have actually dark brown hair and I believe dark hair looks better. I don't really like blonde hair.
