The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling

submitted by plastiquemonkey

1 decade 7 years 9 months 1 week ago

The ultimate example of producer Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique -- a dense, layered effect that reproduced well on AM radio and jukeboxes. Spector himself called his technique "a Wagnerian approach to rock & roll: little symphonies for the kids."

This song was a shocking 43 seconds longer than the strict 3 minute time-limit imposed by 1965 radio on pop singles. It went to #1 anyway, and remains the most played song in radio history.

damn white people snapping fingers on the down beat and not the off beat.

that's Bobby Hatfield. from the notes to the Phil Spector box set:

"Bobby Hatfield was also puzzled by his partner's opening solo: 'What do I do while he's singing the entire first verse?' he asked Spector, who answered, 'You can go directly to the bank.'"
