In response to your question, I don't think they were ahead of their time at all. It was an era filled with massive songwriting and vocal talent . . . the Temptations, the Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Tom Jones, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, the Supremes, Lenny Welch ("Since I Fell for You"). . . and on and on and on. The Righteous Brothers were just a major component of the greatest musical era in America's history, in my opinion. I've had some success as a songwriter and whenever I get a chance to advise young songwriters, I tell them, "please, don't listen to your peers or what's on the radio now. Most of it has terrible melodies, terrible lyrics. So much of it is just awful. Go back and listen to the music of the '60s and '70s if you want to hear great melodies, UNIQUE artists who are readily identifiable . . . not clones of each other." Thanks for the great response . . . to this performance and others. You rock.

I wouldn't say that they were ahead of their time, they were a product of their time. This song was produced by Phil Spector, a major music producer who changed Pop music. One of his signature songs, along with this one, was 1963's "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes. He also produced Tina Turner's 1966 "River Deep, Mountain High". His signature "wall of sound" can be heard in these songs, as well as in this song by The Righteous Brothers. Phil Spector produced music starting in the late 50s and well into the 70s. Phil Spector's life is also a Hollywood producer/drama/murder story.

They sang in clubs and were performing in a bar in Oceanside, CA, which is right next to Camp Pendleton, the huge Marine base near San Diego. There was some black Marines in the audience one night enjoying their singing and one of them said, "You are righteous, brother." And they adopted that as their name. The song was produced by Phil Spector. Look up his list of hit records sometime. Spector's wife sang in a group called The Ronnettes who sang the great song, Be My Baby. Spector wrote and produced a song by The Crystals called And Then He Kissed Me. These are worth your attention too. I grew up listening to this music. Graduated from high school in 1963. Music in the 60's & 70's was fantastic. Great musicians and songwriters. Live shows day after day for weeks. It was a grind but groups learned how to put on a great show. Now it is three chords, autotune, and engineering that makes shows look good but sound robotic and, well, engineered.

Bill is a bass-baritone. Bobby is a tenor whose voice often reached the register of a countertenor (equivalent to that of a female contralto or mezzo-soprano.) Arguably the most perfect contrasting of voices in a group or duo in the history of music. You can thank Phil Spector for the production values. Oh, and those are LIVE mics.

Google search of this song reveals that "According to the music licensing organization BMI, the Righteous Brothers' song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" was the most-played song on American radio and television in the 20th century. By 1999, it had over 8 million airplays, and by 2011, it had almost 15 million. It held the title of most-played song for 22 years until 2019, when it was surpassed by "Every Breath You Take"." Also "The song was written in 1964 by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, and Phil Spector, and is considered an example of Spector's "Wall of Sound" recording technique. " Love this song. Excellent review song choice. John

I grew up listening to this song, but I had never seen the music video until recently. There are two things I learned only after I started watching reaction videos to it - 1) I did not realize they were white! And 2) I thought this song was from the late 70s, not the mid-1960s! I had no idea how old this song was. I feel like their musical style inspired a lot of later music, and this song in particular is just phenomenal. And also sexy as hell.

Back then these ARTIST had full orchestras( including in some cases the harp) they didn't have back up singers they had full choirs. Most of these people were known as triple+ threats, they danced, some played instruments, acted, wrote both lyrics and screenplays plus much more.They were the real entertainers.

It's so sad that the young people today don't have the quality of music and entertainment that we "seniors" had. We've seen music go down in talent and ability. There are people out there who can sing beautifully and powerfully, but they are being promoted, but rather held back.

They are considered "Blue Eyed Soul". Many of these groups pulled inspiration from Black artists of the 20s to 40s....Blues', Soul, and Jazz, and others as well I'm sure. Their voices together and alone are perfect together.. is there an adequate word for their Harmony?

Check out their duo: Your my Soul and Inspiration, "You'll never Walk alone." Then Bobby ripping his talent in, "Summertime." and his ethereal solo, "Ebb Tide".

Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield started out as members of The Paramours. In 1962, the two decided to leave the five-member group to form a duo. They found their name at a show with the Paramours when a fan shouted, “That was righteous, brothers!”

I love watching when people see and listen to this one first because they automatically assume they're black. In fact it was Black Marines that heard them singing and they called them man you guys are righteous, that's where they got the name from and they are also known as blue-eyed soul
