As Bill Medley's bass player and backup singer for 5 years, he remains still one of the best voices in the music business. He was a pleasure to play with night after night. This is a great tribute to The Righteous Bros and everyone involved. Thanks for keeping the memories alive Professor!

[@Traci59]

We saw The Righteous Brothers in Vegas many years ago and were seated in front of Mr. Medley in those curved red velvet love seats. My husband and I were arguing and I started to cry as they started this song. Somehow Mr. Medley saw this and stood right in front of me and learned down. Sublime!! Then a bucket of champagne was delivered courtesy of Mr. Medley.

What sn awsome thing. I would have loved for that to have happened. I loved their music, but it was just earlier this year l saw them sing on the table in black and white. I fell so in love with him and that voice. He's gorgeous.

[@daveowens271]

It just hit me: Adam is kind of the new Kacey Kasem. It's a different format, but it's great to have someone out there curating the music so we can appreciate the art more. Keep going until it's all covered, Prof!

[@cripplecreekqueen]

That’s it. You are so correct. It was on the tip of my brain! Lol. I’m so glad I read your comment. ☮️

[@joannmartinez8295]

That's what I thought the first episode I saw. I couldn't help but think of Casey Kasem and all that he did for music, even if it was a top 40 radio show or a top 40 TV show on Saturday Morning After Dick Clark. Casey is gone now, but Adam carries on the tradition in a new format.❤

[@grouchyoleguy]

Never thought about it like that before but as a person who grew up listening to Casey growing up and hearing him mention Casey I agree with you

[@Carlos-yn2ob]

Cynthia’s discretion of todays music as “Soulless music” is key in this conversation. Great song and great episode.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Gave me the chills!

[@jesserussell7242]

I would have to agree with Cynthia because today’s music is nothing like it was back in the 50s 60s and 70s it’s very manufactured and very soon although I’m glad we have the classic Stephen Minecraft of a wonderful time from the 60s because there’s so many great songs from the 60s that should always be remembered and never forgotten even from the 50s and 70s.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I totally agree with Cynthia. There’s just no emotion, no meaning to it.

[@Jagabot_Esq.]

You are the luckiest man alive, living the rock & roll dream Adam. The access you get from all these artists just goes to show the level of quality you are at. There was never anything this good on MTV or MuchMusic. These could never happen without your incredible knowledge and outstanding personality.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I was talking to the school librarian about growing up with MuchMusic.

[@earlwilson4286]

In the early 1980s, I was working on a copier in Bill Medley's office. I wasn't thinking about Bill Medley was. As I tended to do, I was singing along with the radio and "You've Love That Lovin' Feelin" came on. About 2/3 of the way through the song, I turn around and who is standing there but Bill Medley. I recognized him immediately. I wanted to sink through the floor,I was so embarrassed. He gave me a big smile, said "not bad", and went on his way.

[@patricialabbe1416]

😂😅😂 Great story

[@dawnaberry4197]

Still being played today. This the song of the century or ANY century. And no one but the Righteous Brothers could have done it so beautiful. Rest with the Lord, Cynthia Wiel. And, Bill reproduced the wall of sound for "Soul and Inspiration" beautifully.

[@randallsimmons391]

Adam, you nailed the entirety of what distinguishes the current generation from those before. Being able to pick up the album cover and read about the music and the musicians, is completely lost. I can remember absorbing the stories on all of my Fleetwood Mac albums, or seeing the artwork from Boston's 'Don't Look Back'. No longer. As Cynthia said, it is soulless.

[@alrivers8458]

The same with me. All that we did with the album notes and even inner notes. A very amazing example, the Sgt Peppers Lonely HCB. Not only that in pop/rock mussic, but also the Classical music records. All records.

[@grene1955]

One of your best interviews ever! I love how you surprise your interviewees by doing your research and being so respectful. And it shows in their response to you.

[@markmaddox9303]

I love the reaction of these artists to the vast knowledge of their work that Adam possesses

[@stephenhanft1226]

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" is one of the greatest songs of all-time. It's such a classic. Just about everyone knows this song and loves it. It's one of those songs that when you hear it on the radio, you just have to join in and sing along. I've always considered the Righteous Brothers as one of the best duos of the rock era. I would rank them in my top 5 alongside The Everly Brothers, Hall & Oates, Simon & Garfunkel, and The Carpenters. Also, during the 1960's, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil were one of the legendary songwriting teams that worked at the Brill Building in New York that also included Gerry Goffin & Carole King, Neil Sedaka & Howard Greenfield, and Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich.

[@donbvs]

Great comment, Stephen! I agree with your Top 5 duos list.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I always sing along every time it comes on. The 60s gave us some excellent songwriters.

[@babygerald4645]

This is the essence of POR- history, storytelling, love of music production and creation, the names of everyone involved and their testimonials. So glad to be along for the ride-- music makes us human. Nothing better than this. Thanks again Adam!

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks Baby Gerald!

[@QuicknStraight]

This is, without doubt, one of the greatest songs, by one of the greatest duos, in music recording history. But one thing that often gets overlooked is the percussion that fills the spaces left by the voices so beautifully. (BTW, wasn't Cynthia still gorgeous! RIP!)

[@cclark3905]

From the age of 12 in 1978 I started going to concerts. I've seen most of the iconic artists of the 60's, thru the 90's. My parents divorced each other for the 2nd time in 76 yet remained good friends. One day out of the blue about 20 yrs ago my Dad calls me and says "I'm sending you some money. I want you to buy tickets to the Righteous Brothers show at SMU's McFarlin Auditorium and take your mom." Wow... I'll be 57 next month and have seen 1/2 the artists you cover but that show gets more and more special in my mind every year... They were amazing. This channel is becoming a musical institution. Thank You!

[@richb313]

Thanks for giving us the real history of this iconic song covered by everybody but can't top the original.

[@papajbw1832]

Adam, a line you said, while talking with Mann and Weil about the value of liner notes on the old LP covers, made me realize why I so love watching your channel. You said the notes give you “a conduit into the music.” For me, you are the conduit that connects me with stories of my favorite music of the past. Please keep the energy flowing and I’ll stay connected to “three chords and the truth.”

[@alrivers8458]

PapaJBW, I was also caught for the same sentence and idea about us, the very grown up people that used to listen our records, our LPs, alone or with friends and family, looking at the album photos, notes and all that. That was such a great experience and, most likely, we didn't know it until now that it is very much lost. Also, I agree with you that Adam is helping very much, a lot, in bringing back that pleasure in the listening to music.

[@TooStinkinFine]

We saw his show in Vegas pre-covid. It was only 45 minutes (he is in his 80's) but he still has that beautiful deep voice. I'd recommend it to anyone. Obviously it's not the same without Bobby Hatfield but Bill does a great job and the songs are eternal. My greatest song is whatever beautiful song I'm listening to at the moment.

Professor, this may very well be your greatest video yet. Seriously. The in-person interviews with the major players lift this episode to the very top of the heap. Congratulations. Your content is consistently great.

[@rowdysgirlalways]

This is a wonderful song! One I have sung for years! It's a heart-ripper. Car, shower, garden, house, office...I have loved this song with my voice since I first heard it! And good as all the other artists are, and they ARE good, Bill Medley is the best of all. It is like each note, each word, was constructed specifically for him. This video is one of the best you have done to date. You brought out the real people behind the starshine. Listening to each interview, I felt I was sitting back with friends, reminiscing our youthful adventures over coffee. Seriously, if y'all came over, I'd break out the good brew and we would talk. I am always amazed how a young kid like you can take me back to the 50s, listening to my sister's radio on a Sunday night, or bring back how I would turn up my transistor radio when the Beatles came on. Music was so good back then. And now I'm smiling... again.

This record has become a standard for basically any genre to pick up and master. Professor, you're proving this by showing all the different people that have been touched by this song, including Lamont Dozier, the producer Phil Spector, and Bill Medley himself. It's no surprise that this song as one of the most successful covers for any band or artist, and that it has as many air plays as it does. I think the most surprising element of this song is how Barry Mann had so many hits with and without Cynthia Weill, and this is the cream of the cream.

Barry had a top 10 hit of his own a few years before the Righteous Brothers.

@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 That's correct. It was a fun, doo-wop style novelty song "Who Put The Bomp".

This has to be one my most favorite episodes of Rock Professor … a song that puts a smile on your face and good feeling in your soul like this Righteous Brothers’s masterpiece can’t be beat.

[@MikeBMW]

Wow, Adam, incredibly well done story of this song and the music business overall. Wonderful interviews with those surrounding the song, as well. Impressive! Thanks!

[@joejackson6205]

Excellent video Adam, this video is why you are the Professor of Rock. Hope your interview(s) with Lamont Dozier make it into The Library of Congress someday. Suggest everyone go through your library of videos to view them ti see what I mean. Excellent story telling of a storied song.

I SO ❤ how these legends give the POR so much respect and appreciation as we all do 👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

You are truly blessed to not just produce commentary about, but actually be in the room with, and interview so many music greats! You should be very proud of what you have experienced! Please keep sharing this content! You and Beato are the best resource to music on YT.

Incredible song! You take away the laptop of almost any musician today and they’d be lost.

[@ProfessorofRock]

So true. You couldn't pull off this song today.

....ha-HAAA!!! ...funny you say that, 'cause I was a working DJ years agao, because I actually owned RECORDS! ....The places I spun wanted to ACTUALLY see a DJ work! ...ha-HAA!

“WAP” will get lost in time someday while “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” will forever remain immortal.

Hey ProRo ,👋 🤓 thank you for a great look in the past. It's really nice to see 👀 you remembering the old Fuddy Duddies out there! Keep keeping on My Mellow!

[@ProfessorofRock]

You bet

The Righteous brothers killed it of course, but The two octave aspect is accentuated in Long John Baldry’s duet version. Love that version too.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I have to give that a listen.

[@lindaward3156]

I was 12 when my 1st "too long for radio" controversy entered my consciousness a few years later - In-a-ga-da-vida, Iron Butterfly. wow, I still recall all the hoopla and some stations cut it down to play it as it was popular. my brother bought the album, so I finally got to hear it all. I knew you lost this loving feeling song of course but didn't know it had this issue. I recall it being confusing for people because of the various speeds in one tune but not the length.

[@badgerpa9]

Prof it would help the future people researching if you document the dates the interviews where done. I have seen many things pulled from old VH1 or other shows and no one can remember when the interview was done. You have a one of a kind database of the history of music.

[@dwightdawson3578]

This Mr. Professor is your finest work so far. Your ability to make the memories so clear and meaningful is an amazing talent and thank you for sharing with the world today! Looking forward to what’s next but loving this moment! Awesome!

Such an amazing song…apparently between them they could hit every note on the scale!

[@sarahm.5356]

Gibbo, what exactly do you mean? There are 7 notes in a scale.

[@ProfessorofRock]

and then some.

[@GIBBO4182]

@@sarahm.5356 there are how many octaves within the scale though? 8 is it?

[@sarahm.5356]

@@GIBBO4182 Eight octaves on the scale? I honestly don't know what you mean but I'm interested. Do you mean octaves on a piano? There are 7 1/4 octaves on a piano (I had to look it up.) A scale is do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do (A-B-C-D-E-F-G). Then it repeats over and over. I'm a singer so I really am interested in what you mean and what range these guys have.

Wow! All the people you interview are so gracious and humble. They can tell you are genuine and respect them and because of that they respect you.
