Between 1962-66 Righteous Brothers had a string of hits thanks to the production work of Phil Spector. They did record other songs but even those have often been given the Spector treatment. I have ‘Gold’ a great collection of their best & their not so best. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley had great voices but they were, as you might guess, not brothers. I have strong memories of hearing the hits…

it’s been abt six months since i saw the righteous brothers live & met bill medley afterwards but sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and start sobbing from remembering the tribute mr. medley did for bobby hatfield, singing unchained melody with a big slideshow of pictures of the two of them over the years and how he got a little choked up at he end and always referred to him as “my little brother, bobby,” even though they weren’t related and how hard i was trying to weep quietly the whole concert and how i cannot fathom how bill can perform their songs without his heart breaking in half and now i cannot listen to any version of unchained melody without thinking of that performance and that moment filled with so much love and loss and emotion for such a close friend and oh god im crying over the righteous brothers again bobby hatfield we miss you so much there’s no one like you we’ll see you again someday baby

♫ You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' ♫

As I was writing my a.m. post (a bit of a rant, I must say) I was humming a song by The Supremes — “My World Is Empty Without You”.  I have no idea how I got from the Supremes to the Righteous Brothers in the course of a single hour, but somehow I did.  That’s what falling into a rabbit hole will do to you!  Anyway, I’ve only played this once before way back in 2020, so it’s fair game for a redux…

"We gotta get out of this place. If it's the last thing we ever do. We gotta get out of this place. 'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you". Leo que el tándem Mann- Weil la compuso inicialmente para los Righteous Brothers, pero una demo cayó en manos de Mickie Most y The Animals lanzaron finalmente la versión original en 1965. También, que la canción fue inmensamente popular entre los soldados de las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos en la Guerra de Vietnam ("nos tenemos que marchar de aquí", etc...).

Así a bote pronto me vienen a la cabeza dos buenas versiones de "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", la que hicieron en nuestro país Lone Star ("Muy Lejos de Aquí") y la de Angelic Upstarts en 1980, que dio título a su segundo LP.

You've lost that loving feeling. Righteous brothers

A-to-Z Challenge 2023 – U is for Righteous Brothers - Resilience in Songs #atozchallenge #songs

The 2023 A-to-Z blogging challenge theme is resilience. Resilience is the ability to get back on our feet and keep going after life knocks us down and kicks sand in our faces. Resilience is how the psyche survives and copes, but resilience doesn’t necessarily wear a cape of positivity. The 26 songs I’ve chosen show us, musically, what resilience looks (sounds?) like. I’ll offer a reflection of…

The Righteous Brothers - Just Once in My Life... (Philles, 1965) - Photograph by the Three Lions studio

Bored as shit, so I threw this one in here.

The Righteous Brothers, consisting of Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, had a string of Top 40 hits in the mid '60s. This album in particular contains their cover of "Unchained Melody" (peaked at No. 4), which was forever immortalized by its usage in the 1990 romantic fantasy drama film Ghost.

Neither Hatfield nor Medley recieved any royalties for the recording's use in Ghost, since a) they didn't write "Unchained Melody", and b) they gave up performance royalties as part of a legal settlement in the late '60s, as they didn't believe the song had any more value for future generations.

The music industry can be cruel.
