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 😃 👓 👓 😃

This is--as far as I can recall--the only song that I never, EVER get tired of hearing. I bought it on 45 when it first came out, and pretty much wore it out. Then I bought another one. Wore that one out, too. I think Phil Spector sent his kids through college just on the money I spent on Righteous Brothers records. The thing that really strikes me about this particular song is that i honestly don't know anyone who wasn't completely bowled over by it the first time they hard it. There are some songs that, when you first hear them, you think, "That's' not too bad", and the more times you hear it, the more you start to like it. Then after a while you start to get a little tired of it. and eventually you forget about it and go on to something new. But this song just plain knocks you on your ass from the get-go--like it did to you--and from then on you NEVER tire of it. It's almost like it burrows its way into your brain, and you just can't get it out. And you don't want to, anyway.

I am so glad that you enjoyed one of my favorite records from when I was growing up. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said that it was the best record he ever heard. The Righteous Brothers were amazing singers, but what can get lost is the music that supported them. This record was produced by Phil Spector, and his "Wall of Sound" technique was very prominent, but it did not overpower the singers. As a person, Phil Spector is absolutely bat-crap crazy, but he was the most amazing producer in the recording business. Check out a few songs by The Crystals produced by Spector, one of the best being "Then He Kissed Me". "Da Doo Ron Ron" is another great song by the Crystals. The Ronettes was another group that Spector produced. One of their biggest hits was "Be My Baby". Check these records out, and listen to the music. I think that they are amazing.

New to you. Christmas surprise for me! Nice reaction, and I hope you keep them coming. I am only 1 of their legion of fanatical fans. They were great, they were RIGHTEOUS, "Bue-eyed soul" was a specific reference to them, and by the way they were only soul brothers, not biological ones. There are many of their songs on KZbin, my personal favorite was UNCHAINED MELODY, 1965, live solo performance by Bobby (the tenor), and I hope you treat yourself and us with your reaction. Easy to spot - Bobby is blonde, young (25) and wearing a pink sport jacket. Recorded by something like 670 people around the world, well known, like Elvis, but no one ever came close to Bobby. Consensus is that this is Bobby"s song, and I agree! I believe, but I'm not sure, that I read that "Unchained Melody was the most recorded song ever, and also that it got the most air time.Happy Holidays Doc!
