Righteous
Brother Bobby Hatfield Dies at 63
| They weren't brothers, but Bill Medley and Bobby
Hatfield (both born in 1941) were most definitely righteous,
defining (and perhaps even inspiring) the term "blue-eyed
soul" in the mid-'60s. The White, Southern California duo were
an established journeyman doo wop/R&B act before an
association with Phil Spector produced one of the most
memorable hits of the 1960s, "You've Lost That Lovin'
Feelin'." The collaboration soon fell apart, though, and while
the singers had some other excellent hit singles in a similar
style, they proved unable to sustain their momentum after just
a year or two at the top. |
