What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "50 reasons to love...."

sorry, no image of the cover art seems to be available!

three cd set covering fifty tracks by Bill and Bob....
this is the first disc which contains seventeen tracks...
mainly their early ones on this...
most of the tracks have a soul/r+b feel happening ala the hard edged sounds of Wilson Pickett/Otis....
I never realised these guys were so good until I bought this 3cd set, but theres more to them than Unchained Melody and
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' IMO.....
I had to check every now and then to make sure I had the right disc in because it was so easy to forget these were white dudes
and not black soul guys....
first disc is an awesome affair of classy material from the finest white-boy-blue eyed soul you will ever hear...
a couple of bits of trivia now....
1) Cher sang backing vocals on most of their songs
2) Unchained Melody was offered to Bing Crosby but he turned it down.

I LOVE THIS DISC

worst track: bring your love to me
best track: unchained melody
