Songfacts:
The husband-and-wife songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote this song at the request of Phil Spector, who was looking for a hit for an act he had just signed to his Philles label: The Righteous Brothers.
Inspired by Baby I Need Your Loving by The Four Tops, they came up with this song about a desperate attempt to rekindle a lost love.
The title You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ was just a placeholder until they could think of something better, but Spector thought it was great so they went with it.
