      @@MrAbletospeak Pardon me. I was a teen when they were popular. Their music was called "Blue-eyed Soul" on the radio in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as by Black kids in my high school. It was a big deal. White guys doing runs when they sang to a two-four beat. Emoting, even. Soul.

      Well, this is, as we would say, paraphrasing the original. The original song comes from an OPERA, not a musical or a blues show. The song was a lullaby of a mother to a baby doomed by fate to be orphaned.

      It's a record but not a video but I agree, you'll want to hear Bill Medley's blues solo of "I Want To Make Love To You" (You'll hear Bobby comes in during the chorus). It's on🔥. Also you should hear the record solo of Bobby singing "Ebb Tide". It's a ballad but his incredible voice makes you feel the emotion in the song like you are being swept in and out with the tide. Another old b/w louder finale video from Shindig TV show I like is both of the Righteous Brothers singing "Bring It On Home To Me"

The tall guy Bill Medley was not his real brother but Brothers in a sense very good friends. Bill had that deep voice and Bobby had that Alto guess that's what you call it he died very young and he's 60s in 2007 rest in peace Bobby. So I was young when they were singing of course they were young too I'm 89 years old I know you'll think oh wow good reaction thanks.

    The Righteous Brothers grew up in Orange County California when it was all .white. But they both loved R and B and listened to that on the radio all the time and loved singing R and B. When they were 21 or 22 they were performing in a club. Some black Marines from Camp Pendleton heard there was R and B at the club and started coming to hear them. A couple of those black Marines started saying "Hi, my righteous brother" when they saw them.The Righteous Brothers were really proud of that so - when they needed a name for their act - that's what they chose.
    After they cut a record and went to DJ's to promote it, the white DJ's wouldn't play it cuz it was R and B black music. The black DJ's would quit playing it as soon as they saw them and found out they were white. But eventually the black DJ's played their music anyway, andintroduced them as the "blue-eyed brothers". Then the white DJ's followed and started playing them too.
    They opened the door for so many musicians who followed.
