There are songs that belong to a moment, and there are songs that belong to everyone, forever. “Unchained Melody.” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’.” “Soul and Inspiration.” The Righteous Brothers did not just record those songs — they defined what American pop and soul music could accomplish when the right voices found the right material. On May 29, they bring that catalog to Paramount Hudson Valley in Peekskill, and the Hudson Valley would be wise to show up.

Bill Medley — the surviving original member of the duo — has kept The Righteous Brothers name alive with the same standard of performance that made it legendary. What they built together in the 1960s with producer Phil Spector was nothing short of its own genre: blue-eyed soul delivered with a weight and authenticity that transcended category. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” was declared the most-played song in radio history by BMI, and that distinction did not come from novelty. It came from the song actually doing what a great song is supposed to do — make you feel something true.
Paramount Hudson Valley is the right room for this. Historic, intimate by the standards of what The Righteous Brothers have played over their career, and situated in a region that has always had an ear for artists who treat their craft seriously. May evenings in Peekskill have their own atmosphere, and a night like this one fits it.
Bring someone you love. Bring someone you want to impress. Bring someone who does not know the catalog yet — they will leave a convert.
