I am 61 years old and grew up with this type music. I think you can see why we say, we had the best type music, No Swearing, No Killing, No Bullying, just old romance and fun type songs. You say you really don't care much for today's music, some of it is good, but only You can begin to bring music to the standards you like to hear. Starting telling the people who follow you and the word will get out to the music companies and artists. Only You Can Change The World Now, It's your turn.. Best Of Luck...

There are people who can sing in every generation. What we need now is songwriters and producers to pair those voices with beautiful lyrics and music, and promote it. That's what was happening with the Righteous Brothers.

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.

You are right about it sounding like Motown. I was 14 when this came out.

How could you not be touched by this. Even commercial Motown can't touch these guys. Does my heart good to see a young guy like you appreciate this music.

You are spot on about this group. These guys sound like they mix Motown and early rock-and-roll music from that era. You're also spot on about music today too. Our generation is missing it. There are some amazing singers (like Beyonce, Adele, Alicia Keys, etc.), but most current musicians are singing pointless songs. We need singers who know how to sing AND sing something that is both original and meaningful. Radio stations are stuck with songs from Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and Katie Perry. Even most rap songs aren't original or they really aren't saying something deeply moving. It's like music -- as an art -- died in the 1990s and left just a handful of truly talented people picking up the slack.
