The Righteous Brother's
Hatfield Dies

[/img]
1940 - 2003[/b][/size]

Rock n' Roll
Hall of Fame singer
was sixty-three[/center]


Bobby Hatfield, one half of the legendary blue-eyed soul duo the Righteous Brothers, was found dead yesterday in a hotel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He was sixty-three. Hatfield and partner Bill Medley were on the road doing what they've been doing for more than forty years: singing their hits for adoring fans.
The Righteous Brothers formed in Southern California in 1962 and are best known for their monster singles "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," the most played song in the history of radio, and "Unchained Melody," which charted upon its release in 1965 and again in 1990 thanks to its use in the movie Ghost. The duo was elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in February.

With their sandy-haired good looks, the Righteous Brothers resembled members of the Beach Boys, but when their voices hit the airwaves listeners thought they were black -- hence, their being the very inspiration for the term "blue-eyed soul." Unlike the smooth pop crooners before them, Medley and Hatfield took their vocal cues from black artists like Little Richard, Ray Charles and Fats Domino. Their soulful vocals along with the arrangements of Phil Spector, who produced most of the group's hits, accounted for the Righteous Brothers' rich sound.

Bobby Hatfield, born in Wisconsin and raised in Southern California, had the misfortune of being "the other Righteous Brother," something he played up comically, most notably during his 1991 cameo on the sitcom Cheers. But while the deep-voiced Medley wooed the world with "Lovin' Feelin'," Hatfield scored his own blockbuster with the soaring "Unchained Melody."

"It was a ballad that I always dug, and I went in there and I am pretty darn sure that I knocked it off in one take," Hatfield told Rolling Stone earlier this year. "It was the B side of a Carole King/Gerry Goffin song 'Hung on You,' and all of a sudden the disc jockeys flipped it over and I had an accidental hit. It was kind of cool because Bill was singing lead on all of the songs then, so it was like, 'Wow, who's that little shit with the high voice?'"

The Righteous Brothers continued to tour diligently in recent years, playing more than 100 shows annually, and they did not tire of performing their hits. "These songs are great songs," Hatfield said. "We're working because we love to work . . . It took a long time to really comprehend what our music meant to so many people. [People tell us,] 'Unchained Melody' was our wedding song!' Actually for some people it was their grandparents' wedding song -- and that's where it gets a little scary."

Today I am totaly devistated at a loss for words...why does this shit happen.I know it's life but...I met the singer from Riot and what a friendly guy he was.as for Tony Thompson you seen my site to see what I thought of the guys drumming..Hope you both rest in pace and thankyou


RIP DRUMMER TONY THOMPSON:
Sad news literally just to hand - legendary drummer Tony Thompson has passed away, after battling renal cell cancer over the past 12 months. Only recently a fighting fund was established to help pay for Tony's medical costs, as he didn't have any health insurance. Tony is best known to melodic rock fans for his outstanding work with Power Station on two albums (Power Station and Living In Fear) and very popular one-off albums with The Distance (Under The One Sky - featuring Robert Hart, Jeff Bova & Bernard Edwards) and the debut Crown Of Thorns album (featuring Jean Beauviour). He also worked with Chic and Madonna amongst others. Power Station vocalist Robert Palmer passed away suddenly only last month. Tony most recently was working with his new band Non-Toxic with Michael Fogle (bass) and John Zarifis (vocals). A benefit originally scheduled for December 16 at the Hard Rock in Beverly Hills will apparently now be moving to the House of Blues as a memorial, set for the same date

GUY SPERANZA - RIP:
The original voice of Riot, Guy Speranza, passed away Saturday morning (Nov. 8) at a Florida hospital after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 47 years old. Speranza, who was often regarded as the best Riot vocalist, sang on the group's first three full-length albums Rock City (1977), Narita (1979) and Fire Down Under (1981), before being replaced by Rhett Forrester for the next two releases (Forrester himself left in the mid-'80s to pursue a solo career, only to be murdered on January 22, 1994 in Atlanta). He eventually moved to Florida and worked as an exterminator before being diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer last spring. Guy is survived by a wife and two daughters (aged 17 and 20). RIP Guy. also on my site guy sang on Fire Down Under top 10 underated albums of all time.
Like I have lost two artists in one weekend not good

God I really Do Not Like this above is Cozy Powell one of my reasons for drumming and now it guts me to say this.
R I P to MICK TUCKER drummer with 70's band the sweet.
"He was the most underrated drummer that ever came out of England," said Priest. "He was the powerhouse of the band. He was technically marvelous. His timing was impeccable, but he had a lot of soul as well and he really felt what he was playing."

I raved about this guy for years about how good he was and what an awesome band sweet were when they went heavy..........
Underated but damn you were brilliant first heard his drumming on Burning b side of Hellraiser omg drumming like that in the 70's awesome........

Thanks Mick & God Bless you...
