THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS DISCOGRAPHY
When Medley and Hatfield combined forces in 1962, they emerged from regional groups the Paramours and the Variations; in fact, they kept the Paramours billing for their first single. By 1963, they were calling themselves the Righteous Brothers, Medley taking the low parts with his smoky baritone, Hatfield taking the higher tenor and falsetto lines. For the next couple of years they did quite a few energetic R&B tunes on the Moonglow label that bore similarity to the gospel/soul/rock style of Ray Charles, copping their greatest success with "Little Latin Lupe Lu," which became a garage-band favorite covered by Mitch Ryder, the Kingsmen, and others.

Great Assortment: I can't connect to 1991 Moonglow Years. Keep Safe. Jim.
Hello Tartesy
Yes, sorry about the link missing, it was removed by the host.
I will have to go through my CDs to find it for you.
Thanks for the Reunion album in particular. Re-records can be dreadful, but this one is pretty good. Do you have any of Bill's solo work. I'm looking in particular for his albums on United Artists, Liberty and RCA, which are very hard to come by.
thank you again 4 the The Righteous Brothers another good one thank you

Great collection, however Sayin' Somethin' only the first track is complete, the remaining tracks are all 30 seconds each.
Hi, do you happen to have their Philles albums in mono?
No I do not, sorry.
Any chance of a re-up of Sayin' Somethin'?
On 1969-Greatest Hits, Vol 2, Are these ripped from the actual record? As the time for "Loving You" is listed on all the album art, as 2:44, but the file is only 2:14.
Hello Johnny, yes all albums on my blog are ripped from my personal collection.
Sometimes the software wants a holiday :-)
