February 6: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"

On this date in History .... 1965:

 

The Righteous Brothers song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" hits #1.

 

In 1999, it was ranked as the song having more radio and television play in the United States than any other song in the 20^th century.  It is one of the rare songs that has no instrumental intro but starts right in with the lyrics.

 

One of the background singers in the 1964 release was a young singer who would become a national icon by using only her first name:  Cher. 

 

The BBC put out a list in 2012 that placed this song in third place on the list of “most profitable” songs.  It was beat out by “Happy Birthday” (first place and now a public domain song) and “White Christmas” (2^nd place).
