Give It to the People

Give It to the People is the thirteenth studio album by American duo the Righteous Brothers. It was their first album in five years after disbanding.

Reception
Joe Vigilone of AllMusic stated "Producers Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter put together a thin but effective sound for their string of hits with various artists in this time period, the formula utilized here fitting Glen Campbell well a year later. Despite the three shots of commercial success there was something too Vegas and glitzy about the Give It to the People album, the title track going Top 20 four months after "Rock & Roll Heaven"'s chart penetration."
