The Righteous Brothers earned their place in music history through a combination of record-breaking radio play and hall of fame recognition. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" is the most played song on American radio, with over 8 million spins according to BMI. The duo topped the Billboard charts in four decades: the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s (with re-releases), and 1990s. Their 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came just months before Bobby Hatfield's death, a bittersweet capstone to a career that spanned forty years. The Vocal Group Hall of Fame followed in 2005, and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2019. Rolling Stone placed them at number 16 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.
