Their hit "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" is, to date (2007), the
most played song in the history of radio and television: in excess of 8,000,000
spins since its release in 1965, according to Broadcast Music
Inc. (BMI) licensing statistics.
First artists to score a Top 20 hit in two different decades with the
same recording: "Unchained Melody" (#4/1965) and (#13/1990). The song
was rediscovered when it featured prominently on the soundtrack of the
hit movie Ghost (1990).
Adopted their recording/performing title after Marines had so named
them during a concert at the Black Derby in Santa Ana,
CA.
