I couldn't believe it when - after hearing "Little Latin Lupe Lu" - I found out the the Righteous Brothers were white. Blue-eyed soul indeed.

This news is just making me feel totally empty. God Rest his Soul. Some of the sweetest momments of my youth come back to me when I hear those voices crooning.

I'll always remember listening to the Righteous Brothers on the radio in the car on the way to the prom in the 60s.

A great duo, no question. As to why they never repeated the success they had with Phil Spector, it's for the same reason Wilson Picket never repeated the success he had with Atlantic Records - soul music died with the death of Otis Redding in December of 1967, and the arrival of pretentious art rock about the same time: Sgt Pepper, Creem (Grrrrrh!) come to mind and such class acts as the unmusical Jefferson Airplane come!

Did Hatfield sing on "Rock and Roll Heaven," or was that just Medley? The article says both were on that.

When I was a teenager in the 60's I sang Unchained Melody, Bobby Hatfield-style, to many crowds. They loved the way I sang that song; but, I wasn't fooled, they loved Bobby Hatfield.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
You're an idiot.
To: Revolting cat!
Unchained Melody is practically the same song as Elvis' 'Can't help Falling In Love' and Chicago's 'Color My World'.
Think of the lines:
Lonely rivers flow,
To the sea, to the sea,
I'll be coming home'
Wait for me.........

To: Revolting cat!
There definitely was a lot of pretentious rock music in the late '60s and early '70s. I still cringe when I hear karaoke singers do old Moody Blues stuff.

Thanks; for some reason I didn't recall Hatfield on that one - thought it was a Medley solo.

Righeous Brothers in a Mellow Mood used to be one of my favorite albums when I was in college. I saw them do it live at the University of Virginia in '66.

Both. Bill sang, "Jimmy gave us Rainbows", etc..., then Bobby sang, "Sing a song, to 'Light My Fire'", etc... They sang a duet on the melody.

No. That was the Statler Brothers, or whatever...
To: Jean Chauvin
I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby and Bill at my sister's restaurant in CA many years ago where they were regulars. Bobby was friend's with Cubby from the Mousketeers, anyone remember him?-g-
I was also lucky enough a few decades ago from this same sister, to get the gift of private concert tics and kisses.She knew I always had it for Bill -g-. But I've been told not to speak ill of those who have passed. RIP Bobby.
