The Righteous Brothers - Don't Give Up On Me

[@patricialabbe1416]

So talented. Soul; gospel, R&B Blues and Rock. Ballads too. Never sang a bad song or a song badly. Either one of them. Should have been in HOF much earlier. Transformed pop music in 60's. Kept out by Spector who wouldn't credit how good they were, with or without him.

[@debrawucik826]

Oooh, this is good. The way they trade off with one another is sooooo Righteous!

[@MrTunetracker]

The greatest duo ever.

[@sheriblueeyes]

Another tune that deserved more radio time

Me too . it's been a long time since I heard this. 😊 Thanks.

[@maryannc6313]

I thought I had found every Righteous Brothers song on this site, then I stumbled on this the other day. I love it! The only improvement would be if it was a live performance. Can you just imagine how much fun the guys would have had performing this? Thanks, @flatop47, for sharing!

[@edhorton2766]

Yeah. Their best live performances were often clearly better than the studio versions.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Good Gospel Sound Here!

[@flatop47]

***** Thanks Karen

[@maisielee5147]

😀very nice!

[@jefflanaghan6327]

B Side of the single with Melancholy Music Man.

[@edhorton2766]

Hard to believe that "Unchained Melody" was originally the B Side to "Hung on you." The DJs weren't having it.

[@SixtiesOnly]

[@debrawucik826]

De-light-ful!!!

[@celestialskye1]

Wow, I never heard this one. Guess the dj's didn't care to play gospel ~ still don't ...

[@paulonorato7501]

What on earth was this. Not their style.

[@edhorton2766]

Try the live version of "Summertime" and the studio version of "I just want to make love to you." There was so much more to them than the stuff that got played on radio.

[@marymichael1211]

Their style was to have a wonderful diversity of styles. But as Edhorton commented above--they didn't all get played on the radio. There was Spector and the ballads that became hits that got them into that categorization. I love the early Moonglow Years, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul and spiritual-styled, and other types of ballads the most. And I love continually discovering creative "new-to-me" gems like this. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@edhorton2766]

@@marymichael1211 You might also like Bobby Hatfield's 1971 solo album "Messin' In Muscle Shoals." It's way different. I agree with your Moonglow comment. No way does "I just want to make love to you" make it on to the airways in 1964.

[@marymichael1211]

@@edhorton2766 Thanks for bringing up the Bobby Hatfield album "Messin' In Muscle Shoals". I love it and listen to it often. My favorite song is "I Saw A Lark". Yes, it is with diverse styles from before and within the album, with Hatfield "maturing" at around 30 years old. The Righteous Brothers sang on different levels, often at the same time -- romantic, soulful, spiritual, and sexual. Yes, Medley's "I Just Want To Make Love To You" was too sexual for the radio and also television at the time. The reaction videos focus on the hits/ballads, and even fans do -- so it's good to bring up their other good music.

[@edhorton2766]

@@marymichael1211 Glad you like it. I was pretty sure you would. Bobby Hatfield was good at whatever he chose to sing. Both of them were great at feeling the emotion of the music and the lyrics and letting it show in their live performances.
