This song was recorded in 1955, today it is considered as one of the best songs ever! Watch the video in the first comment When Righteous Brothers covered it a decade later? WOW!

Key Features of Their Rendition:

  • The Bobby Hatfield Solo: While a duo, the song is effectively a solo by Bobby Hatfield. His crystalline countertenor and the way he hits the final, soaring high notes created a “jukebox standard.”

  • The 1990 Resurgence: The song experienced a massive global comeback when it was featured in the iconic pottery scene of the film Ghost. This brought the Righteous Brothers back to the top of the charts nearly 30 years after the song’s release.

My stepmom sold my father's favorite old car on the day of his funeral — she turned pale after discovering what was hidden under the spare tire. My dad d:ied last Tuesday. Massive heart attack. No warning. He was 67. After my mom passed five years ago, he was my only close person. Karen — my stepmother — said she was "too fragile" to attend the funeral. She claimed the stress might "trigger her heart." I believed her. So while I stood at the pulpit reading the eulogy I had rewritten three times through tears, she wasn't at home grieving.

Karen was standing on the curb, stuffing a thick envelope of cash into her purse. I sprinted over, my blood boiling. "What did you do?!" I screamed. "I sold it," she said coldly. "I got $2,000. It'll be my little financial cushion. Don't look at me like that. It's just a car, and I'm the grieving spouse." The car was worth easily six figures. She had practically given it away out of spite and greed before his body was even in the ground. I was shaking with rage when a sedan screeched to a halt next to us. A man jumped out, looking panicked, holding a dusty, sealed plastic bag. "Wait!" he yelled. "We were checking the spare tire well for rust before transport and found this. My boss said he couldn't in good conscience keep it without you seeing it first." Karen scoffed and snatched the bag. "Probably just more trash or old parts." She tore it open. When she saw WHAT was inside, her knees buckled. She hit the pavement hard, gasping for air like she'd been punched in the gut. She looked up at me, her face drained of color, and handed me the envelope. It began: "Karen, I know you very well, so I decided
