You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' )
Information: Soon after producer Phil Spector bought the Righteous Brothers' contract from Moonglow Records, he flew husband-and-wife songwriters Barry Mann and Cythia Weil out to California to write a hit song for his new singers. Mann and Weil wrote a tune based on their favorite record at the time, the Four Tops', Baby I Need Your Loving. Spector helped them write the bridge. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (Philles 124) was released in late 1964. In February 1965, it hit number one (for two weeks) on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and #3 on the rhythm & blues chart. Sales of over one million copies were quickly achieved. In 1969 Dionne Warwick did a cover version of You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (Scepter 12262) that did quite well, reaching #16 on the Hot 100 chart. Two years later, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway had moderate success with their rendition (Atlantic 2837).
Elvis sang You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' in
concert in the 1970's. In the 1970 documentary Elvis - That's The Way It
Is, Elvis was seen rehearsing the song at the International Hotel in Las
Vegas and later singing it in concert on August 14, 1970.
