Ray Anthony
Ray Anthony (born January 20, 1922) is an American bandleader, trumpeter, songwriter and actor. He played in Glenn Miller's band from 1940--1941 and appeared in the Glenn Miller movie Sun Valley Serenade in 1941 before joining the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war he formed his own group. The Ray Anthony Orchestra became very popular in the early 1950s, with recordings that included Anthony's classic dance songs "The Bunny Hop" and the "Hokey Pokey," as well as the theme music from Dragnet. He had a #2 chart hit with a remake of the Glenn Miller tune, "At Last" in 1952.
Ray Anthony's compositions include "Thunderbird", "Bunny Hop", "Trumpet Boogie", "Big Band Boogie", and "Mr. Anthony's Boogie".
Anthony was considered one of the most modern of the big band leaders. In the lyrics to "Opus One", which imagine a number of players performing the song, he is cited along with Les Brown and his Band of Renown:

You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" is a 1964 song written by Barry Mann, Phil Spector and Cynthia Weil. The Righteous Brothers had a number one hit with it in the US that same year, and one year later (1965) it became a number one in the UK.

MHO
Ray Anthony successfully combines three elements here : his magic trumpet, the orchestra and ... his Singers. The melody is perfect for Anthony's soaring trumpet and both the vocal and orchestral support are fabulous. In mho this is one of the finest instrumental/vocal versions of this famous Righteous Bros hit song.
ENJOY !
