Thank you John. It's an old favourite - used to buy old PJ's singles in the long ago, and this was perhaps the best of them. I think Goffin and King wrote it for the Righteous Brothers, and I like how Jim manages both Bill and Bobby's parts. And of course, the band and arranger were old hands at the Spector sound.
Cheers

First time for me - it's a beauty, isn't it? thought you'd like it...

Anything else comparable by ol' Trouser Tearer?

Similar vibe, but unfortunately not the Wrecking Crew, Jack and Goldstar





and then there's this, if you don't mind a large helping of English cheese and mannered vocalese with your schmaltz

Thanks, R. I have that first one! (he's terribly flat in the first line)

The second is especially good.
