Hits List: Righteous Brothers

This duo gave us three of the top songs in the rock era with "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", (You're My) Soul and Inspiration" and "Unchained Melody".  Bobby Hatfield has gone to "Rock and Roll Heaven" but Bill Medley not only teamed with Jennifer Warnes for the Dirty Dancing hit (I've Had) the Time of my Life" but has a very good solo song called "Don't Know Much".  I'll be featuring it in a future version of the "Underrated Songs" series; it's a hard song to get.
