Music Monday

Yes, I know . . . today is Tuesday.  But yesterday was Labor Day, so it didn't seem like Monday; it seemed like Sunday.  I knew it was Monday, especially because I had a writing assignment due that is always due on Tuesday, but it really didn't make any difference.  The whole day was up for grabs.

So a day late, here is a Music Monday tune for Tuesday.

Most people associate this song with the movie Ghost, but its history goes back so much farther than that.  When I hear Unchained Melody, I picture boys with longish crew cuts and chinos slow dancing with girls with bouffant flips wearing full-skirted shirtwaist dresses and white Keds.  I was in grade school in the 60's, but my Aunt M was a teen-ager and that's how she dressed for the Friday night dances.
