But he suffered from serious stage fright all his life, which sadly led him into drugs to cope. You can hear the quavering in his voice as he spoke here, and in the first line of the song. But when the audience applauded he settled right down, and soared the rest of the way as only he could.

    OK, JayT... In the sixties, this was THE song at our teen dances. It was a 'Ladies Choice' and the girls would hold you so tight. No A/C in those days and I can still taste the girls' hair spray. In later years it became an anthem in Nam about bein' away from home and wonderin' if our girl was still our girl. You'd hear this comin' from a hootch at night and it would bring tears. Welcome Home Brothers.

    The real story of how they got their name is charming: They sang in a club in El Toro near Long Beach where many black marines came to hear them. Back then if blacks liked something, the slang term was RIGHTEOUS...and of course, if they liked a man, they called him BROTHER. So they sang BLUES fantastically, and these marines yelled out, "That's RIGHTEOUS, BROTHERS!" And that's how they got their very "black" sounding name which went with their very "black" sound.

      Bobby had it all; an incredible entertainer with humility and more charm than Cary Grant.

      Actually a soloist can’t harmonize with himself live as it is impossible to sing more than 1 note at the same time. When Bill sings with him, then they are harmonizing together.
