Customer Rating:      Summary: Unchained ! Comment: The first two tracks on the CD are the guts the rest is only packing or fill, Unchained Melody without doubt is the star performer. Hope you found this useful Brian.
Customer Rating:      Summary: awesome album from The Righteous Brothers Comment: Unchained Melody: The Very Best Of The Righteous Brothers gives us quite a few of their biggest hits. The sound quality is excellent and the artwork is rather good, too.
The CD track set opens with The Righteous Brothers performing one of their greatest hits ever, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." They harmonize to perfection and even the backup vocalists sound great! The melody is helped along with the percussion and The Righteous Brothers easily ace this fine tune. This is classic music for sure! There's also "Unchained Melody;" they own this tune because of their fine diction and excellent timing. The strings are used to great advantage and I love every minute of it! "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration" is yet another lush ballad that works very well; The Righteous Brothers sing this with all their hearts and souls; this impresses me greatly.
"Just Once In My Life" has a very pretty melody and The Righteous Brothers bat this one straight out of the ballpark! The background musical arrangement complements their singing perfectly. "The White Cliffs Of Dover" comes from an era long gone by; but The Righteous Brothers make this sound new and fresh when they sing this so sweetly.
"Hung On You" places The Righteous Brothers front and center-give those guys a spotlight! They sing so well and the background arrangement benefits from the percussion. "Little Latin Lupe Lu" changes the beat considerably to give us a more rockin' type of song with a `60s flavor to it that is absolutely infectious! I love "Little Latin Lupe Lu" and I predict that you will, too.
"See That Girl" shines like gold when these artists perform it; and the CD ends well with The Righteous Brothers performing "On This Side Of Goodbye." This torch song about a love gone wrong displays their fine vocal talents; this makes the perfect ending for this album.
Unchained Melody: The Very Best Of The Righteous Brothers doesn't miss a note--it's a very solid CD retrospective. Casual fans will love this; and diehard fans will want this in their collections, too.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The Best of the Best Comment: I love these guys. Actually I have been head over heels in love with Bill Medley for 35+ years. I never grow tired of some of these songs. Listening to them does bring a tear to my eye because I know I will never see them perform live again (but I sure hope to get to Branson to see Bill alone). And I HATE when I hear someone try to do their music (you can't improve on it!). Their voices are by far the sexiest ever.
Customer Rating:      Summary: How Sweet It Is Comment: Great Music,if you like the oldies.The first three songs on the disc were the most familier to me, but the whole disc was great. How can you go wrong with voices like theirs
Customer Rating:      Summary: 1960s men, folk music, love songs, rock Comment: This is a typical Righteous Brothers album. Too much echo but great
music that reflects the times that they were recorded.
