Astounding! You ought to listen to Elvis Presley's rendition of this song & Unchained Melody , too! These folks are our icons for a reason! We have yet to see any entertainer today who could compete successfully with the Righteous Brothers or Elvis! This isn't really "old" music because it is universal & speaks of feelings man will have ( hopefully) throughout the span of humanity! It's important for young folks to listen to heartfelt music like this! It just may awaken their souls & they may just discover the true meaning of God's love within themselves ( & for each other, )in this seemingly soulless & heartless age! Just a thought! I really enjoyed your reaction! It gives us hope for future generations! Thanks!

The Righteous Brothers... wow, righteous indeed; two contrasting voices that came together to form beautiful harmonious SOUL. Back in the day, EVERYONE thought they were Black... but does it really matter? Beautiful music is beautiful music, talent is talent and soul IS soul. They were singing t a small club, mostly Black patrons were grooving to their music, and a young Black guy in a Navy uniform stepped up to the stage and said, "That's righteous, brother, righteous!" And the name stuck. They ARE righteous and so is their beautiful harmony and their list of music. Those were the good ol' days. We're lucky to have recordings today to enjoy their music.
