The Righteous Brothers were the musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. They recorded from 1963 through 1975, and continued to perform until Hatfield's death in 2003. Their emotive vocal stylings were sometimes dubbed "blue-eyed soul".
Medley and Hatfield both possessed exceptional vocal talent, with range, control and tone that helped them create a strong and distinctive duet sound and also to perform as soloists. Medley sang the low parts with his deep, soulful bass, with Hatfield taking the higher register vocals with his soaring tenor.
They adopted their name in 1962 while performing together in the Los Angeles area as part of a five-member group called The Paramours, which featured John Wimber (who was much later one of the founders of the Vineyard Movement) on keyboards. At the end of one particular performance, a U.S. Marine. in the audienc prompting the pair to adopt the name when they embarked on a career as a duo.
John Wimber (then as Johnny Wimber) brought Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley together for the band the Paramours in 1962. The Righteous Brothers started their recording career on the small Moonglow label in 1963 with two albums and two moderate hits: "Little Latin Lupe Lu" and "My Babe".
Their first major hit single was "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" on the Philles label in 1965. Produced by Phil Spector, the record is often cited as one of the peak expressions of Spector's Wall of Sound production techniques. It was one of the most successful pop singles of its time, despite exceeding the then standard length for radio play. Indeed, according to BMI, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" remains the most played song in radio history, estimated to have been broadcast more than eight million times. Spector used Cher (of Sonny & Cher fame) as a backing singer on this and other recordings.

And your heart
Cries for love that you have missed

It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,
I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you]
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll
(drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby
(drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm.

7. JUST ONCE IN MY LIFE
There's a lotta things I want,
A lotta things that I'd like to be,
But girl I don't foresee
A rags to riches story for me
There's just one little dream
I've got to make come true
There's just one round
I've got to win,
I can't be a loser with you
And baby, baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
'Cause I couldn't face the day
If you weren't here by my side
And if you went away then
I'd be left without any pride
I've given up on schemes 'cause
Every one fell through
I've given up so many things,
Don't ask me to give up on you
And baby, baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
That old pot of gold
Ain't so easy to find
But if you'll stand by me, girl,
I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world but
I will work hard for you, girl
Yes, I'll work hard all my life
If you won't leave me
Please don't leave me
Just do this for me, baby
Once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Hmm-mmm-hmm mmm-hmmm
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down.......(fade)

8. WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMORROW?
Tonight you're mine completely
You give you love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net .]
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
(INSTRUMENTAL)
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Lay your head down on my shoulder
I wont let the night get colder
I'll protect you
I'll be keeping trouble far from where your sleeping
Until you wake in the morning
You've got the world to yourself.
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day

Spend the night in heaven, I'll be here to light your
way
Someday tomorrow will smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on
You're a princess
Chains around you
I'm a hero who just found you
Till a brand new day must wake you
Let imagination take you
Go where the music is playing
I'll be along in a while
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day.
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven, I'll be here to light your
way
Someday tomorrow will smile
But little girl in the meanwhile

12. GO AHEAD AND CRY
(Love can change a young boy into a man)
(But a broken heart can change a man, back into a boy
again)
Your not the first man to cry
When things have gone wrong
You're only human, you're only so strong
(It takes one) Little tear to knock a big man down
(It takes one) Broken heart to keep him down on the
ground
It takes three little words, to make him stand again
(stand agaun)
(So cry, go ahead and cry
Go ahead and cry, cry)
Love is so easy to play, but so hard to win
You're still a young man, your heart will love again
(It takes one) Little kiss from her sweet tender lips
(It takes one) Gentle touch from her soft fingertips
It takes more than one tear, to mend a broken heart
(broken heart)
(So cry, go ahead and cry
Go ahead and cry, cry)
Go ahead, go ahead
Go ahead and (cry)
I want you to get down on your knees and (cry)
Kneel down baby (cry)
When your feelin' blue I want you to (cry)
Dont be ashamed to (cry)

13. NEVER SAY I LOVE YOU
Hey baby, are you sleeping?
There's something I think we oughta talk about
I can't put my finger on it, but honey
I know there's something wrong
It's the same hello you gave me
When I came home tonight
Your kiss was warm and tender
And the same arms held me tight
Now you laying right here beside me
Something that you always do
Oh, it isn't what you say that's been givin' you away
I just know that I'm losing you
You can tell me that you need me
That you're feeling it deep inside
You can go through all the motions
Of a woman who's satisfied
Spend your life pretending
It's as good as it was before
But you never say I love you anymore
We're a pretty good combination
In everybody else's eyes
They see us both together
Only we know the truth, only we know the lie
You can tell me that you need me
That you're feeling it deep inside
You can go through all the motions
Of a woman who's satisfied
Spend, spend your life pretending
It's as good as it was before
But you never say I love you
I love you anymore
You can tell me that you need me
That you're feeling it deep inside
You can go through all the motions
Of a woman who's satisfied
You can tell me that you need me
That you're feeling it deep inside
You can go through all the motions
Of a woman who's satisfied

14. GEORGIA ON MY MIND
[Songwriters: BROWN, JAMES]
Georgia, ooh Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind, on my mind
Georgia, ooh Georgia
A song, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
Ooh, as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
That the road leads back to you
Yeah, I said Georgia, yeah, yeah Georgia,
Yeah, no peace, no peace, yeah, do I find
Ooh an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind, yeah, on my mind
Yeah, just and old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind, yeah, on my mind

15. SEE THAT GIRL
[Songwriters: MANN, BARRY/WEIL, CYNTHIA]
See that girl?
Look at her good.
That's something you don't
See every day, now.
Dig those eyes...
Ain't they a prize?
They sure can get to you,
And, hey now,
Look at that crazy smile
I bet you can't believe
She was mine for a while,
Ain't she somethin?
See that guy?
Right by her side.
He's feelin' proud, and
Don't he show it.
Look and see,
That could have been me.
Would you believe I'd go
And blow it?
I let her slip away,
And I tell myself I'm okay
But it just tears the
Heart out of me
When I see that girl....
When I see that girl.
(break)
I let her slip away
And I tell myself I'm okay
But it just tears the
Heart out of me
When I see that girl....
When I see that girl....
When I see that girl.

16. HE WILL BREAK YOUR HEART
[Songwriters: C. Carter, C. Mayfield, J. Butler]
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
For the new that new love that you've found
That handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I've got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart
Now he uses all the great quotations
He says all the things I'd love to say you
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals, girl
To him it's just another play but wait
And when the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you like I love you
