RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS “YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING” | REACTION

[@CDO1113]

This era of music is irreplaceable. No pitch correction, no auto tune, just amazing singers with soul and passion that could sing just as well live as during their recordings. Epic.

[@jamelakajamal]

EPIC INDEED!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@cynthiamgrooms8195]

CDO1113 -The Najor difference being that back when your voice sold records(plus Gyrating was a Huge NoNo!) , Not how well you could dance around a stage with a bunch of extra people, that have Nothing to do with the music.Many of these older B&W shows were Live,& if they screwed up, they had to deal with it on live tv!

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

In those days they had this thing called "practice." You can't really do that anymore since it would require putting your phone in the freezer and ignoring Twitter.

Lou Rawls was asked if he knew any white people with soul. He replied: “The Righteous Brothers”.

[@petec9686]

I'd add Elvis, Steve Winwood, Terry Kath and many others.

[@sandyleewhite]

After all these years, I still get chills when I hear this song ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Couple Fun Facts: They got their name from some black marines who saw them perform as the “Paramours” in 1963. They shouted, “that was righteous brothers!”, Sonny and Cher were part of the backing vocals, & last but not least, heir manager booked them into a black nightclub in Watts, California before they got big, & the patrons of the club started throwing things at them on stage when they saw they were white, & The Righteous Brothers didn't know what to do, so they just started singing, & all the patrons sat down with their mouths open, & wouldn't let them leave after that, & the term, Blue Eyed Soul, was introduced 😃 👓 👓 😃

Jamal, I am a 78 year old woman who lives in Canada. I had the privilege of seeing the Righteous Brothers at a nightclub in Vancouver, B.C. In 1963. Sat in the front row. Went backstage and got their autographs. You cannot believe the power those 2 young men had and the feeling in the room. Magical! God bless you for saying soul has no colour, it doesn’t. When I hear them sing, I think of my late husband of 49 years. We had some good times listening and dancing to great music. I enjoy your reactions. Please keep it going💞🤪

Phil Spector's production really gives it that classic 60's sound of meshing all kinds of backing singers & instruments that really compliments the two singers here.

[@CJTELE]

This is a story of the weirdest racism in Rock n Roll history Inn 1962 they had a hit with a song called Latin Lupe Lu which was from an album they had recently released In those days the single was released prior to the album The song was a big hit but when the album came out everybody was shocked to see 2 white guys They stopped playing The Righteous Brothers Except for Black DJ's who stayed loyal I can still remember hearing the Black DJ'S saying Now for some Blue Eyed Soul when they played their records The Righteous Brothers fell off the charts until a young Phil Spector saw them on a TV show called Shin Dig He recorded this song which is by the way the most played record in the 20th century and the Brothers were once again back in the scene They never forgot the support they received from Black People

When I was a teenager I'd hear this on my parents oldies station. I thought this was Motown until I was at least 30. This was recorded in the mid 60's. Recording something like this with an orchestra and everything for a pop song is so much work. I'm not that guy that says there's no good music these days, but the effort that went into producing something like this isn't seen too often these days.
