do you know how the righteous brothers got their name?

Answer 1

The Righteous Brothers supposedly changed their name when a fan at one of their appearances yelled "That's righteous, brothers." I don't know what they called themselves before. Righteous being a late 1950's slang for great, cool etc.

They adopted their name in 1962 while performing together in the Los Angeles area as part of a five-member group called The Paramours, which featured John Wimber, one of the founders of the Vineyard Movement, on keyboards. At the end of one particular performance, a Black marine in the audience shouted, "That was righteous, brothers!", prompting the pair to adopt the name and embark on a career as a duo.
