This song was composed by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil, and was first recorded in 1964 by the Righteous Brothers. It served as the sole single and title track from their 1965 album. The Spector-produced version is regarded by music critics as a quintessential example of his Wall of Sound production approach. The record achieved both critical and commercial success, reaching the top position in early February 1965 in the US and UK charts, and ranked fifth on Billboard's year-end Hot 100 list for 1965.
