"He" #18 7/9/1966

A rarity in pop music - a hit record with strong religious overtones. It was the last Top 20 effort for the Righteous Brothers in the 60's. They went their separate ways until 1974 and "Rock And Roll Heaven." Originally an instrumental by Les Baxter, the first vocal version of this song was in 1954 by Al Hibbler, who had also scored with "Unchained Melody," which was later a huge hit twice...for the Righteous Brothers, in 1965 and again in the 90's from the movie "Ghost."
