According to an article by David Edwards, Patrice Eyries, and Mike Callahan, found on the website of "bsnpubs", the original Moonglow label was started in the 1950s by a Belgian man, Rene Jan van Hoogten, who was sent to the US by his brother Albert van Hoogten, the owner of Ronnex Records. Once here, Rene changed his entire name to Ray Maxwell (who is credited as the producer of Moonglow 214 and as the composer of "That's All I Want Tonight"). The label was originally located in New York City but did not do well. In the early 1960s, Maxwell moved to Hollywood, California. His first release there (Moonglow 201) featured the Paramours as backup singers to a female vocalist (Penny Richards). The Paramours had previously recorded on the SMASH label but that label had given up on them. The record I am selling, Moonglow 214, represents Medley and Hatfield's last recording as part of the Paramours, just prior to forming The Righteous Brothers. After a few more records for Moonglow (a couple of which were solo efforts), the pair were "discovered" by Phil Spector, who - in late 1964 - leased them from Maxwell and began issuing their records on his Philles label. ("Discovered" is an overstatement as the Righteous Brothers had already achieved recognition as the opening act during the first portion of the Beatles' first American tour in the summer of 1964.) Medley and Hatfield were Spector's first white singers. Their singing style so resembled African American singing that the term "blue eyed soul" was coined to describe it. Under Spector, the duo quickly had one mega-hit after another, the first being "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".
