Written in 1955 for the film Unchained, Zaret's best-known composition brought him and its composer, Alex North, an Oscar nomination for best song.
It went on to be recorded by artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Lena Horne, Joni Mitchell and Robson and Jerome.

Also recorded by the Righteous Brothers. U2 even recorded it, but I'd rather forget that one!
