Righteous Brothers
Hatfield and Medley
The Righteous Brothers were an American musical duo, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, known for their blue-eyed soul sound in the 1960s.
Their dramatic, emotionally charged vocals defined hits like "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." The name referred not to religion but to soul music slang—"righteous" meant authentic or impressive.
