The Righteous Brothers had several other hit singles in 1965, including "Just Once in My Life", "Ebb Tide" and "Unchained Melody
Oh, I remember it... all brings back pleasant memories of a much better time in the USA, if I had known it would go to the dumper I would have taken more time to appreciate the era.
oh no - I forgot - it was Vaughn Monroe that did the first “Ghost Riders in the Sky”

What a fun night on FR**. Went to YouTub, watched those AND my all time fav, at least in those years, “Scotch and Soda” which still sounds pretty dang good. Sent the links to some old college friends who used to be co-singer/drinkers.
** nice diversion from eligibility
Remembering AL Hibler really dates me, doesn’t it ? oh, well!

My husband knew Bobby in high school. My husband Fullerton and his best friend went to Anaheim, Hatfield went to Anaheim and they all graduated the same year... those were good days to be a Californian.
yes - I didn’t realize these would be in youTube - I’m copying a list for playing over and over.
I’ll go to bed tonight remembering all those wonderful years as a little girl on my grampa and grammie’s farm.
betcha my memories (years) go back further than yours ;o)

8 track bump. Thanks!
Which makes me all the more sad to see what has happened to the state. There was no better place to grow up than SoCal in the 50’s and 60’s.
BTW talk about a blast from the past El Monte Legion Stadium!
My first year of High School was at Arroyo, right down the street from the “Legion”. You know I was late going home a lot. heehee
People ask me if I miss Cali. I say yeah, where’d they put it? Haven’t been back in over 10 years. Sad.
Dates me too. ;>))
I was always sorry that BobbyHatfield could not shake off his drug habit. We lost a great singer in him.
Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels did it too. Yup, grew up in the Mobile area.
We’ve only been back for funerals.
