Sunday, October 24th
2-4 PM Pacific / 3-5 PM Mountain / 4-6 PM Central / 5-7 PM Eastern
Film composer Alex North, who would have turned 100 this year, will be celebrated in a two-hour radio special Unchained Melodies: A Centennial Tribute to Alex North airing at 2 PM Sunday, October 24, on Classical KUSC.
North, composer of such landmark movie scores as A Streetcar Named Desire, Spartacus and Cleopatra, was a 15-time Oscar nominee and the first composer ever to receive an honorary Academy Award (in 1986) for his body of work. Selections from these three film scores are among more than two dozen works by North to be featured in the program...
Other film scores will include Viva Zapata!, The Misfits, The Agony and the Ecstasy, Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the original London recording of Norths unused music for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Television scores represented in the program will include a miniature ballet written for the 1950s variety series Your Show of Shows, plus the themes for Playhouse 90 and Rich Man, Poor Man...

Hollywood produced some of the greatest jazz composers and arrangers who turned out scores not only for major films but many TV series. Henry Mancini and Jerry Goldsmith are also some great composers who worked in Hollywood.

"
Unchained Melody" is a 1955 popular song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. Rerecorded in 1965, it became one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, by some counts having spawned over 500 versions in hundreds of different languages.
In 1955, North used the music as a for the prison film Unchained, hence the name.

WOW! I thought it was called “Unchained” because it DID NOT follow the usual I,vi,IV,V, chord progression, but “wandered off”! That was MY theory, but I guess I was thinking like a MUSICIAN! Love the song, and the Composer.
