One of the members of the Righteous Brothers has finally caught wind of Paul Cauthen’s “Unrighteous Brothers” side project. Chances are you are familiar with both the Righteous Brothers and the Unrighteous Brothers if you clicked on this story. If you aren’t, the Righteous Brothers are a vocal duo that formed in the 1960s and brought the world all-time hits like “Unchained Melody” and “Soul and Inspiration.” The Unrighteous Brothers, on the other hand, consists of country music troubadour Paul Cauthen and Orville Peck. They got together back in 2020 to take a swing at a couple of the Righteous Brothers’ biggest hits: “Unchained Melody” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” For those that have wondered if anyone from the Righteous Brothers ever saw that collaboration, we finally have a clear cut answer thanks to a video posted by the official social media account of the Righteous Brothers. Bill Medley himself watched the video of Cauthen and Peck singing “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” and he was very impressed: “I kind of like the way they are doing it. A little like Hall and Oates. They’re not copying the Righteous Brothers. I love the one guy’s look. I wish I could wear that on stage.” Big Velvet does have some style. Medley was especially a fan of the name that Cauthen and Peck adopted for their 2020 collaboration: The Unrighteous Brothers. That being said, the legendary vocalist insisted that though they were known as the Righteous Brothers to the world… they actually held the “Unrighteous” title first: “These are the Unrighteous Brothers, right? Pretty amazing. It’s always amazing to hear somebody else do our stuff. They did a great job… We were the unrighteous brothers first.” View this post on Instagram And hey, if you are like Bill Medley and liked what you heard in that video from Paul Cauthen, you’ll be excited to know that “Big Velvet” is going on tour.
