The Righteous Brothers: Give It To The People (Haven)
Gene Sculatti, Zoo World, 10 October 1974
THEY DID it in Las Vegas and they sure do it here. Recombine their talents, hop into the saddle with strong material and take hold of the reins like they'd never left. Like Buck and Susan Raye, like April and Nino, Billy and Bobby are together again, bathed in blue and teamed up with yet another catalytic duo, producers-writers Lambert & Potter (Four Tops, Gene Redding lately).
