The Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody

More about The Righteous Brothers

The Righteous Brothers, a hallmark of blue-eyed soul, were formed in 1963 by Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Their deep emotional delivery and melodramatic narratives set them apart, making them one of the most distinctive duos in the music scene of the 1960s. They first captured the public's attention with their hit 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin',' a song that became a defining moment of their career and one of the most played songs in radio history. Produced by Phil Spector, the track showcased his 'Wall of Sound' technique, amplifying the duo's powerful vocals. The Righteous Brothers continued to chart with hits like 'Unchained Melody' and '(You're My) Soul and Inspiration,' songs that have remained timeless classics. Despite the duo's split in 1968, they reunited in 1974 and continued to perform until Hatfield's death in 2003. The Righteous Brothers' legacy is marked by their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, a testament to their significant impact on the music industry and their ability to capture the complexities of the human heart through their soul-stirring performances.
