Career

Bobby Hatfield was born in a group called the Variations in Anaheim. Hatfield, a member of Medley's Paramours, joined Medley in 1962 and formed a five-member group with the same name: Paramours. They appeared at a Santa Ana club called John's Black Derby. They toured as a pair and formed The Righteous Brothers later. They were often told they sounded like African-American gospel singers and picked the name after black Marines remarked of their singing, "that's righteous, brothers" and referred to them as "righteous brothers." The Righteous Brothers' first charted single under the name Moonglow Records was "Little Latin Lupe Lu," and they appeared on the television show Shindig. Hatfield has performed as solo artist with Moonglow and has released "Hot Tamales" / "I Need a Girl."

They appeared in a show at the Cow Palace near San Francisco in 1964 and met music producer Phil Spector, whose group The Ronettes was also on the program. Spector was captivated and leased them to his own label Philles Records. They were the first No. 1s in the United Kingdom. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" was released by Phil Spector in 1964. "Unchained Melody," which was actually a Hatfield solo performance, was among the Follow-Up Hits. Spector continued to record older standards with the Righteous Brothers, including "Ebb Tide," which Hatfield also performed solo, in the Top Five, after the success of "Unchained Melody." Both "Unchained Melody" and "Ebb Tide" were songs he had performed with his first band, the Variations. Hatfield performed solo on two of the last songs the pair recorded with Philles Records, "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "For Sentimental Purpose" were two other two of the duo's last songs.

The Righteous Brothers left Spector and signed with Verve/MGM Records in 1966, and the Righteous Brothers had a smash with "You're My" Soul and Inspiration. Nevertheless, the pair split up in 1968, and Hatfield joined singer Jimmy Walker (from The Knickerbockers) under the MGM name. An album was released by the new partnership, but it was not a huge hit. Hatfield released a number of singles as a solo artist, including the self-penned "Hang Ups" and older songs' covers, but "Only You" was his only charted single, peaking at No. 1. 95 percent of the population of the United States. Hatfield appeared in Andy Crocker's television film The Ballad of a Boyhood in 1969. He released Messin' in Muscle Shoals, a 1971 solo album that debuted at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. However, MGM was in financial difficulty, a scheduled single "The Promised Land"/"Woman You Got No Soul" was not announced, and the album was largely unnoticed due to poor publicity.

Hatfield and Medley were reunited in 1974, and the No. 2 was struck for the second time. "Rock and Roll Heaven" — "Rock and Roll Heaven." Medley stayed away from music between 1976 and 1981 after his ex-wife died, but the two bands reunited in 1981 to perform an updated version of "Rock and Roll Heaven." Hatfield re-recorded "Unchained Melody" in 1990, after the success of the 1990 film "Unchained Melody" was used, but Hatfield said to friends that he had not lost any of the high notes in his tenor range since the initial recording, but had actually gained one note. The pair then toured extensively in the 1990s and early 2000s. Billy Joel inducted the Righteous Brothers into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003.
