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.
