Topic: Hy Zaret


  
  Hy Zaret
Zaret liked to tell about the time the composer Alex North called him to say he had written a song for a movie and needed words.
Zaret, a habitual contrarian, refused a producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics, though it was impossible to keep it out of the title.
Zaret appreciated the royalties -- "Unchained Melody" made him financially independent -- he was just as proud of the educational and public service songs he wrote, often with Lou Singer, for radio, television and schools.

  Song Of The French Partisan - English
Hy Zaret was the first to apply for a copyright (via the editor Raoul Breton) for the d'Astier-Marly song.
We can also note that a stanza is missing in Zaret's version compared to the original (see the bottom of this page for the complete lyrics of the two versions).
Peacetime allows sad records to invade interior life, and returning to the shadow is a protection, a way to give one's suffering some space to dilute there.

 Writer forever linked to ‘Unchained Melody’ Feelings for young woman inspired words to famous song BY LINDA ...
Freehold Township resident William Stirrat, 83, aka Hy Zaret (his pen name), still has a gleam in his eye when he remembers writing the lyrics.
He was 16 years old and infatuated with "the prettiest girl in my neighborhood." He remembers well the frustration of being too shy to act on his feelings — the stuttered response when she spoke to him, the frozen reaction when she smiled at him.
He explained that the issue of authorship was complicated by the fact there were five men claiming to be Hy Zaret.

 Singing Science Records
When I was a kid my parents got this six-LP set of science-themed folk songs for my sister and me. They were produced in the late 1950s / early 1960s by Hy Zaret and Lou Singer.
Zaret's main claim to fame is writing the lyrics to the classic "Unchained >Melody" for the 1955 movie "Unchained", later recorded by the Righteous Brothers and more recently used in "Ghost".
Three of the albums (the best three in my opinion) were performed by Tom Glazer, semi-famous 1940s folk musician and somewhat of a lyricist himself (he wrote "On Top of Spaghetti").

Far and away his biggest success, though, was "Unchained Melody," a song he co-wrote with underrated film composer Alex North for the 1955 prison film Unchained (hence the title).
Meanwhile, Zaret turned his attention to educational children's music in the late '50s, collaborating with Lou Singer on a six-album series dubbed Singing Science; different volumes covered space, energy and motion, experiments, weather, and nature.
The records were quite successful, and the song "Why Does the Sun ShineNULL" (aka "The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas") was even covered by quirky alt-rockers They Might Be Giants in 1994.
