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

Inc. (BMI) licensing statistics.
First artists to score a Top 20 hit in two different decades with the

was rediscovered when it featured prominently on the soundtrack of the
hit movie Ghost (1990).

them during a concert at the Black Derby in Santa Ana,
CA.
Claim to be the first act of the rock 'n' roll era to play the Las
Vegas Strip.
Mentioned in the 1974 song "Life Is a Rock but the Radio Rolled Me" by Reunion.
