‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling’ — The Righteous Brothers.

In 1964, the Righteous Brothers first recorded “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” It went on to reach the highest spots on both the U.K. and U.S. charts. The year after that, it even became the fifth-bestselling song stateside. It has been covered by various artists, including the likes of Hall and Oates and Dionne Warwick. However, no other version has come close to one by Bill Medley. The intro, without instruments, was iconic: “You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.”

‘Sympathy For The Devil’ — The Rolling Stones

When it comes to the topic of controversy, The Rolling Stones have definitely seen their fair share of it. In 1968, they released “Sympathy for the Devil” off “Beggars Banquet.” This was not an exception to the rule and caused a stir among religious groups who thought they worshiped the devil. In 1995, Rolling Stone interviewed them. Mick Jagger shed light on the topic by saying that he came up with it due to French writing. “I just took a couple of lines and expanded on it,” he explained. “I wrote it as sort of like a Bob Dylan song.”
