    They got their name "The Righteous Brothers" from black Marines from the El Toro Marine base who used to visit the local Los Angeles night clubs. When they saw the RB perform, they loved their sound so much they started calling them righteous brothers. At the end of one performance a black Marine stood up and shouted, "that was righteous, brothers". And the name stuck.

      Actually, the club and the base were in Orange county, not Los Angeles. Calling them righteous brothers wasn't a one-time event; it was an ongoing thing. The played at that club for several months. They needed a name when recording "Little Latin Lupe Lu" as a duo (without the rest of the of The Paramours). They had to put a name on the record so Bobby suggested they use the name the marines were calling them. Edited to add the name of the club. It was John's Black Derby in Santa Ana.

      I was born in the 80s and I love this music. I love all soul and Motown. I'm English btw. I used to listen to club, house music when I was young in the 2000s but I think when I got to about 28 I started listening to Queen, soul, every genre basically. I love a lot of early 80s and 70s stuff that I totally missed out on and I've decided music on the whole is no where near as good as back in the day. Only newer stuff I like is Adele. 🌻🌼💐 Love from the UK x

When Spector had a concept in his head, he wouldn't quit until the singers got it. Too bad they couldn't get inside his head to understand what he wanted in the beginning of the sessions.

      They were known as "blue eyes soul". Bill and Bobby blended so well together, Bill is a baritone; Bobby was a counter tenor. Bobby did solos, unchained melody, ebb tide, summertime and other songs as well. No autotune, just pure talent. Bill is still with us, sadly Bobby passed in 2003. He is dearly missed, but we still have his 🎶.

      Check out his version of the classic Ella Fitzgerald "summertime", you will be pleasantly surprised. He puts his own spin on this classic, it definitely shows his octave range. Also take a look see at "ebb tide" very well done, only the way bobby sang a song whatever genre of 🎶 it may be. Can you imagine time goes by quickly, he has be gone 20 years, dearly missed. What a blessed individual with such a "gifted" voice.

    “The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 73 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary.
    “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’ was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century
    "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance.
    Their name came from doing a show near a marine base in So Calif and a black marine said to them…. You two guys are Righteous Brothers. Often referred to as "Blue Eyed Soul'
    In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

They came out in tuxedos & had an orchestra. WOW. After the first song the whole crowd was looking at each other like they couldn't believe just how good they sounded. When they sang Little Latin Lupe Lou, people were standing and dancing in place. Everyone was smiling & singing along. It was a night i will NEVER FORGET. After the concert Sharon and I went to our favorite parking spot. Back then everyone had a favorite place to oo and. hmmmm. .MAKE OUT.😁 That was the icing on the cake. I went into the USAF. & off to Vietnam. She got married & I got married but we ALWAYS kept in touch..We had that special FIRST LOVE you never forget. Her husband recently died & I am divorced. We are in different states but when talking on the phone, it's still there. God maybe has a plan for us to be together after all these years. She still is so beautiful to me.

    I'm an 80 y/o white male. I grew up in Anaheim, California. Hatfield attended Anaheim High School, where he was student body president. My sister-in-law and brother were fellow students of Hatfield. They say he was smart, friendly and popular. He was also a little clowish and prone to breaking into song, high-pitched, loud and not always at appropriate times. When the Righteous Brothers duo came to be and started showing up on the charts in the early/mid 60's, I had all the pre-sets on my little 6 transistor radio set to the 4 AM radio stations most likely to play the Brother's current hits. These guys were the only white artists I liked at the time. No 'Rock Around The Clock' for me. At age 10 (yeah, really) I became and still are, an incurable black 'R and B' fan. When Medley formed his new duo, after Bobby's passing I tried to like them, but.... However, when Chris Stapleton hit the music scene, he and the Righteous Brothers, along with many black R and B artists and traditional black regae dominated my Spotify faves. Blue-eyed soul works for me. Thank the heavens for modern electronic technology that allows us to enjoy all the fantastict music regardless of which side of the dirt the artist is on.

    Hey Guys! you mention the Ruffins, I knew Jimmy and David Ruffin. I have met and jammed with Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. I was born and raised in Detroit. I was always a really good drummer and percussionist. I have jammed and worked with hall of famers. The Righteous Bros have that MOTOWN sound for sure. I was born in 1950 guys. I feel 30 in my mind but somebody went and put mirrors in my house so I scare myself back to reality. We listened to AM Radio, no calculators, no color television, no internet. We played music and were awesome musicians honing our craft. I had a '63 split window corvette, a good job, and owned 2 homes by the time I was 28. $$ went farther.
    There are thousands of great musicians you never heard of that are 10x better than most today. No auto tunes, no lighting or special effects to be proud of BUT WE had great fun. Riding bikes in our pre teen years, no gangs or fear of violence. I saved my money from working at the corner store. This was before the fast food craze. You could send your kid to the store with a couple dollars and not worry about them. It was simpler, sweeter, and a more wonderful time that I wish we could get back in the USA today and for our children.
