This is just scratching the surface of these great singers. Both are great soloists, together they are amazing. So many songs to hear from, all great. Bobby's "Summertime." Bill's Brown Eyed Woman." "I Just Wanna Make Love to You." Bobby's "Stay With Me." "Soul and Inspiration." "Once In My Life." Inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame in 2003. They were certainly unique, a perfect storm of harmony, Bass-Baritone and Counter-Tenor. There was never anything like them, especially Bobby. More than 20-note range on the scale, he could go from bass all the way up to G5 or better. Bobby left us in 2003,age 63. Bill is still touring with another partner. He is 81. Bobby is so missed, but he left a legacy of beautiful music like no other.

The producer was Phil Spector who made a huge number of the great recordings of that period using what was called the "Wall of Sound". The session musicians were the best in the business at that time and know collectively as "The Wrecking Crew". Between the work done by Spector and the boys at Muscle Shoals, most of the great music was produced.

He was absolutely crazy, and that was what Veronica Spector (his wife) said, but he was an amazing producer.

What a duo! As a kid I only heard this song on the radio; it was years before I learned that they weren't black! They're the epitome of the term "blue-eyed soul." Other good examples are the '70's groups The Bee Gees ("Stayin' Alive") and Wild Cherry ("Play That Funky Music" -- watch the version where they play it live on the TV show The Midnight Special, accompanied by two actual black guys whose trumpet twirling is a thing of beauty.) For biological brothers, watch "Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers Jumpin' Jive" from 1943, for their INSANE dance gymnastics -- the final minute will make you wonder how they had any boy bits left. I think you'll also likely enjoy "Old Movie Stars Dance to Uptown Funk"; it's dance clips from 1930s-1950s movie musicals, precision-synchronized to the song. It's uncanny!

The violins (and every other instrument) were done by a group of studio musicians that became known much later, in about 1990, as "The Wrecking Crew". They played, independently and together, on QUITE A FEW studio albums in the 60s and 70s. Incidentally, one of The Wrecking Crew was none other than future country star Glenn Campbell. The music itself was arranged by Phil Spector and is an example of what is known as Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound". The lyrics are by Cynthia Well, Bob Mann, and Phil Spector.

Not sure who did the orchestration, but it was co-written and also produced by Phil Spector, who was famous for his "Wall of Sound" production style. The musicians who performed the backing tracks were members of The Wrecking Crew, a loose collective of L.A. studio musicians who played on hundreds of top 40 hits mostly in the 60's and 70's. Spector was also the producer of the original version of the "Let it Be" album by the Beatles.
