The Righteous Brothers

[DroppinScience]

You gotta love these guys!

"Little Latin Lupe Lu," "Unchained Melody," "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and others!

(y)

[abcdefz]

Yup. (y)

"Go Ahead and Cry" doesn't get played enough.

It's a shame that their albums had so much filler, though. Phil Spector used to squeeze extra puiblishing income for himself by crediting himself as authors of all these weak jazz instrumentals.

I had a friend in junior high/high school who, many nights during the summer, we'd be drunk as hell out on the lake, cranking up the Righteous Brothers and warbling along.... good times.

I'm currently listening to their "Anthology (1962-1974)" set.

Does this mean I don't need to listen to anything else?

[abcdefz]

Hang on -- let me dig up the track listing.

[Tompz]

you've lost that lovely feeling is the most played song on american radio ever if i remember correctly

[abcdefz]

Whew!

-- at first, I didn't see "White Cliffs of Dover," and I was gonna say wtf!?

Yeah; that's a good set. They even put "Justine" on there, which is cool; I don't think that was a hit, but it's a good song. (y)

Yeah -- unless you just want to be a completist, you're fine.

Really? I would've thought "Yesterday" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water" or something.

[DroppinScience]

I think "Stranded in the Middle of Noplace" is my new favorite Righteous Brothers song! (y)

[abcdefz]

...as long as it's not "Rock and Roll Heaven," we're okay. :D

What, why you hatin' on that one? :D

Yeah, you're right. That's not one of the better ones...

[abcdefz]

It's pretty cheesey.

And the bedrock joke it rests on -- "If there's a rock and roll heaven/You know they've got a hell of a band" sounds like it was lifted off a truck stop bumper sticker or something. Ugh.

You know what the song makes me think of? My dad. He always talks about dead rock stars (especially Jimi Hendrix) and how he's sure up in heaven, all those guys are "recording" stuff up there and how he'd love it if there was some kind of bootleg of these would make its way down to Earth.

Yeah, he's got an active imagination. :eek:

[abcdefz]

That's an interesting thought.

It'll be interesting to see who's in heaven and who's not.










































If I'm there. :(
