“You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”-Great story-The Righteous Brothers caught a break by getting Phil Spector to produce, what they hoped would be, a big hit for them. Originally, when he first heard them do it in the studio, Bobby Hatfield opened the song with ” You never close your eyes, anymore when I kiss your lips…” in his famous high tenor voice.
