Brian: One of my favorite songs that Barry and Cynthia ever wrote was Youve Lost That Lovin Feeling.
We were very close during our time together at The Brill Building.
Its an honor for The Raiders to be a part of Cynthia and Barrys history in music.
With Barry Mann,her husband, they wrote an infinite amount of beautiful songs.
8 million air plays of the classic heartbreaking song Youve lost that loving feeling.

I was humbled in your presence.
Your songs will live forever.
