Check out her reaction... she was completely overcome by the heart-rending soulfulness. She gets it.

The Righteous Brothers played at my high school in 1966.
He nailed Unchained Melody that day too.

I'm not sure what the intent of the OP started by Tabs. But I would consider the Righteous Brothers one of the first Blue Eyed soul acts. To me it is not about gospel music but in the style of which the song was written and played. Others have followed including Steve Winwood but to me, he is more Rock and Roll.

I love the body of work the Rascals but IMO, they don't fit. Hall and Oats, does. Live from Daryl's House is very good. Robert Palmer did several songs that fit (and great video on MTV). Tom Jones should be included although I can take him in small amounts..

I am so shocked this got away from me or even us! !
We missed one !
I never thought of Forgerty being "Blue Eyed Soul" but listening to this and several other cuts, he is definitely in the running, Far more than Hall and Oats (jmo)

oh my goodness Burn not even close. Daryl's talent is subtle and he never over sings to try and show it. It's just there every time all the time. Cool as the other side of the pillow, honorary membership in the black race. Very very few approach him in the genre.

IMHO of course!

If you compare Oats- Lost that Lovin Feeling, to the R. Bros take on it, , there is no contest. Hall and Oats lost the soul in the song.!
It evaporated!
But we are all allowed our own opinions...
Next and back
Fogerty was a multitalented Guy !
He even did the Detroit sound as the Golliwogs.

Nobody did b-e-s better when I was growing up than the AWB. In my opinion, of course.

You consider AWB as Blue blue-eyed soul?
We sure walk to a different drum beat! LOL
You are allowed.......
It seems they were such a minor player it is hard to grade them as much.
Most people have not ever heard of them.
Like Little Feet, loved by a cult of people.

If your metric is Fogerty, well, like you said "you are allowed".

Fogerty is a huge pendulum, hard to dislike.
Uses many venues.
Yes, we are all allowed to disagree, and that's just fine.

He is just part of it, somewhere between ABBA , Zappa, Edd Ames, James Last, and Lenard Cohen.
There is Niel diamond lost between two shores and then Stranger on the shore Acker bilk,
It is not even possible for me to pull a favorite.

OK, this is a cover of Chaka Khan song but done by a bunch of eastern europeans. And it cooks

Daryl Hall and the Live From Daryl's Band toured last year and I saw him in Chicago. I like this guy and everything he does.

I got one more for you: Joan Osborne. https://youtu.be/1cqlZGgajIE?si=xrnYzekgc43bHH7W
