Just Once in My Life is the 1965 album by the American music duo the Righteous Brothers.[1] According to Bill Medley, he was allowed to produce most of the tracks in the album, including "Unchained Melody" which was originally intended only as an album track because co-producer Phil Spector was interested only in producing singles.[2] The album reached No. 9 on Billboard 200 in the United States.[3]
The title track "Just Once in My Life" was the first single released from the album, and it reached No. 9 on the singles chart in May 1965.[4] The single "Unchained Melody" was initially only intended as a B-side for "Hung on You" from the next album Back to Back, but it became popular and it was then released as an A side, reaching at No. 4 in the United States and No. 14 in the United Kingdom in 1965.[5] It was later included in the soundtrack of 1990 blockbuster film Ghost and the re-released single reached No. 1 in the UK in 1990.[6]
