With their desperately impassioned R&B style, the blue-eyed Southern Californians crossed barriers of time, place, and audience. "Brothers" Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield joined forces with legendary "Wall of Sound" producer Phil Spector, resulting in one the greatest, most enduring hits ever, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." The Brothers continued to combine their distinctive vocals with dense, emotionally dramatic musical backgrounds, resulting in a clutch of soul/pop 1960s classics many of which are contained here, including "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" and, of course, "Unchained Melody."

As the Righteous Brothers, singers Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield virtually invented what's come to be known as blue-eyed soul. The duo's grandest moment came with their 1964 smash "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," a Phil Spector-produced classic whose soulfulness and epic sweep made it a timeless favorite. The group peaked shortly thereafter and broke up in '68, though they've occasionally reunited in the ensuing decades.
