    Which song was a top 5 hit in 1990 owing its success to a film, and had previously topped the US charts in 1963 by the same artist?

    		I believe it was 'Unchained Melody' by the Righteous Brothers from the movie 'Ghost'.

    		For some reason I got it in my head the song had to be the same name as the
    movie, and came up with Pretty Woman. I have been unable to verify that it
    reached #5 in 1990, but Roy Orbison did win a grammy for it that year and
    of course it was a hit when originaly released.
    I find it difficult to find out what number a song peaked at, unless it was
    number one. You have to be a member of Billboard to have access to their
    search area and you have to pay for it. Something I am unwilling to do.
    However, I am now very interested to find out if the answer is Unchained Melody,
    Pretty Woman or perhaps both, so will keep looking.

    This is about the song "2112" alone, not the rest of the album or anything else Rush-related. The epic more than deserves special attention! Questions 1-10 are mainly about the events in the song, 11-15 about the song itself, and 16-20 are lyrics.
