The Righteous Brothers did come to England very briefly in 1965 to promote the record (Spector's idea) because Cilla Black had come out with the cover just a week before them. Incidentally, the Rolling Stones met them at the airport. Then Bill returned to the UK, Wembley stadium in 2013 for a full performance.

Bobby sang in London with producer Richard Perry 1971. Sessions for Hatfield’s planned album began at Apple, the studio owned by the recently-disbanded Beatles at Apple Studios in London, Perry enlisted the cream of the crop to accompany the singer: Ringo Starr and included George Harrison and Nearly as unexpected is Hatfield’s cover of a then even newer song from George Harrison, “What is Life. That’s manny things about Bobby that are recently being emerged from obscurity. After almost 50 years, Omnivore Recordings has righted that wrong with the release of Stay with Me: The Richard Perry Sessions.
