People in this era didn't need tricks to sound good because they had real talent and could really sing.
That's because you couldn't manufacture a singer back then. You could either sing or you couldn't. Today you can literally take somebody that can't sing at all and make them sound flawless. Today they start from somebody that has the look or the vibe they want and worry about creating the voice in the studio later.
That's righteous brother.
👍👍👍
You were good or you didnt make it
Took the WORDS right out of my mouth...That's righteous bro!! 😂
@@Rowgue51that’s absolutely not true. You still have to be able to sing, but studio technology can fix out of tune notes and minor timing issues. You can edit together a performance out of multiple takes. You can improve a good performance and sweeten it with effects, but you can’t make a bad performance sound amazing. The thing that is amazing about this video is that he performed this live on stage so flawlessly and beautifully. That’s rare talent.
No autotune. He is live. Pure talent.
Yup
I never get tired of this song, I have been listening to it fifty years or more.
Miles of talent.
He really nailed it!
AND,his momma was 2nd row center & Bobby was singing JUST FOR HER…so,he was a little bit nervous?ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
The single greatest vocal performance in pop music history.
Absolutely correct, i loved the Righteous Brothers. Top two favorites are Unchained Melody and Soul and Inspiration. Today singers are terrible and rappers, one leaves the stage and one comes on and you can't tell the difference. Rap is sht and monotonous.
Undoubtedly. Perfection.
Don't forget Freddie Mercury 😉
@@dkrab9506 Freddie Mercury can't touch this and I like Freddie Mercury.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest vocal performances, and considering it was live takes it to another level. For me, the only other vocal performance at this level is Clare Torry in Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky...
Still melting hearts 60 years later. Bobby was a counter tenor. One of the rarest vocal ranges. He was known to have stage fright. He was nervous that night because not only was his mother in the audience seeing him perform on stage for the first time, but he also had a cold. This was one of the greatest live performances ever. This will always be Bobby's song.
This is probably the finest performance the world will ever know.
Of this song yeah - better than Elvis.
Yep
Without a doubt breathtaking moment captured in time.
Elvis did the song in the last year of his life.
Roy Orbison smashed out some huge notes, perhaps far bigger during his time.
I am 73....and I cannot listen to this song without crying.
thats ok sad ime 75 the same for me
Right there with you brother at 66yo.
I’m with you my brother, me just turned 69! Classic stuff!
Well I'm 81 but tell you what I've always been a sensitive guy and bet you and others here are as well. TBH I don't know if you have a pulse if work like this doesn't get to you.
ik ook
No backup. No edits. No sound effects. Just talent
Bobby was a counter tenor, that's how he could hit those notes. People of this era had real talent.
He was like 25 years old and was nervous because his mother was in the audience and still knocked it out of the park!
you could tell he was breathless with nerves when being interviewed by Andy Williams before the song....yet he nailed it anyway
He also had a cold.
That was also the first time he ever did a performance in front of her live.
His Siter too,
And fiancee.
The most beautiful song ever written and the most perfect rendition of it ever. Back then people actually could sing and had real talent.
So true
Pure talent doesn't need special effects. It brings tears as it's effect. Bobby is missed terribly. Rest in peace 🙏
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" is a another great RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS song that shows the talents of both of them off quite well
Would also vote for Heart & Soul
Second that!
Pure art!
I like You've Lost That Loving Feeling as a pairing to Unchained Melody, because while the former showcases the incredible harmony of Bobby Hatfield (above) and his partner Bill Medley, it really highlights Bill's individual voice and the range of what he could do.
Yes, do this song next please
This song still brings a tears to my eyes I'm 78 years old God bless his
67 and her reaction helped.
70. Greatest love song of all time. MAYBE Layla comes close. Maybe.
66, thanks for making me feel young.
@@mobipete8001 Isn’t it past the bedtime for kids like you! LOL. Amazing how many old folk still love that song and THAT performance!
Exactly,I'm 76 and heard it a thousand times ,has some strong vibes
I think this was a special night for him because his mother was in the audience, I love watching your reaction young lady.
At 71, it is heartwarming to see young people like yourself that have an appreciation for the great music I grew up with. It is so pure and real.
I’m 79 yrs old . Takes me back to my 20 s . The Brothers rocked !
If I had a Time Machine I would get in, set the controls for 1966 and I'd be gone in a flash...never to return. I did not realize then just how good I had it, and how phenomenal the 60's were in general. Thanks for your post.
Bobby Hatfield's voice was flawless.
This is Roy McCoy and even Iike this song even coming from a Hatfield
I give you the voice 40years ago going nowhere but up
amen 110% .
That's right kids. People could actually sing their songs without having to dance around on stage. They had actual talent. No digital wizardry at all. Just pure raw talent.
You sound so pompous. There's tons of talent nowadays
Just not at the same level
Many people make it today because of money or who they know. Back then, they made it with pure talent
It's a cover but Jane Zhang's cover of "All of Me" is easily on this level.

Tell me you’re an old bastard without telling me you’re an old bastard.
I’m a 74 year old guy. This was one of the best songs EVER!!
As I’ve told my wife more than once, this is the greatest love song ever written.
Try to name a greater love song. Unsurpassed. Forever.
It's called real talent baby sister. R.I.P. Bobby Hatfield 😂✌️❤️🙏🙏
It always amazes me how effortlessly he seems to sing this.
Possibly the most beautiful song ever recorded!!!
I am 76 years old and love it when a youngster like yourself appreciates true talent. No filters no autotune just a great voice. Magic. ATB regards from the UK
talent doesn't need tricks, never has
Well said!
Correct 🥁🥁🥁
Not quite "trickless". Phil Spector's Wall of Sound®
@@TheShootistsinging live so no multi tracks and unlike some no auto tune, just an orchestra,
@@brianwilliams8361 None of that new fangled stuff right period go read about phil spector's wall of sound.
It is so refreshing to know people of this generation can really appreciate what we grew up with. I'm 71 years old and it's easy to forget what a remarkable era we lived through. Music WAS music. Thank you!!❤
Talk about being on the same page! I turned 71 Feb. 7th this year. I so agree how refreshing it is to see how younger people can appreciate truly wonderful music/talent! thanks!
I’ll be 73 in a couple of weeks and agree wholeheartedly with you on this. Wish I could relive those days!
As a child of the early60s, i have to agree, im only 60 now, it past so fast,....but i feel blessed to have had those years......
Im 70 and agree with you 100%
I am just short of 73 and I completely agree.
Back in the day it was the real deal!! No gadgets, no technology - just pure talent!
These people had talent and they earned their fame by working in the little clubs spending all year on the road
I was a senior in High school when this song came out. Loved it. I was in a quartette singing and could appreciate the quality of his voice. Such good music back then
Lilly, dear woman, they sounded that good live without filters and suchlike because they had something better than autotune: Talent. Talent and dedication to their craft.
Blue eyed soul was their style of music, and Bobby's Mama was in the audience to hear him sing professionally for the first time. He had a cold and there was some question if he would be able to hit the high notes, but he knocked it outta the park like a Louisville Slugger!
Plus his mom was there in front of him so he was nervous. I wished i could sing like this while being sick and nervous
He did NOT HAVE A COLD. Otherwise he would not have reached his many fluctuations with such controlled held notes to breath in or how about the two octaves he climbed up to sing effortlessly. He also wanted to make his Mama in the audience proud! And the biting his lip was congratulating to himself that he sang the song well in his mother's presence!!!!
There was no question about hitting the last notes. He had rehearsed with the orchestra beforehand. He wouldn't have attempted it if there was a question about doing it.
His mother is behind him. She's the lady in the blue dress and fur stole. His dad is sitting next to her.
Yes, he did have a cold. Maybe, it wasn't full blown at that point, but he still had it. You can hear it in his voice, when speaking and singing.
Nothing to do with "blue eyes"...just SOUL!
@@sueshow401 I've seen Bill Medley on video say Bobby had a cold and you only need to listen to Bobbys other sole numbers to hear it in his voice so my guess is that he did have a cold.
I am glad whenever I see young people experiencing the music of my generation. It was real, and seldom approached by modern artists without electronics.
You will never convince me that any other music will beat the late 50s and 60s for the most beautiful music ever to have been recorded. My era, I am 78 years young, that moved me to tears again.❤😍🥰
I'm 76. I had two older sisters who were always listening to AM rock stations. I loved the 60's music. But I still move my body to the 50's bee-bop tunes. Just really fun music in its infancy.
My sisters transitioned to fold music when they went away to college. I wonder how many people remember the duet "Joe and Eddie". Absolute pure voices like Bobby Hatfield.
No auto-tune, no pitch correction just pure talent..!
I am in my 70's and have recorded this great song on my channel. I loved it when it first came out.
ruclips.net/video/4MCKXY1Cl5w/видео.htmlsi=aVIjwCMrgz_U8yz4
I hope you like it.
An eighty year old comment.
His lip bite at the end gets me every time. Stunning perfect performance. RIP Bobby.
The lip bite is EVERYTHING
He knew he’d killed it, AND his mom was in the audience so he wanted to do it well for her. Mission accomplished.
I don't doubt every woman in the audience was thinking "Take me now!!"
He was saying i nailed it.
@@user-hh3ew3gl8f yes, " nailing" was on the minds of more than a few audience members, I would imagine.
No auto-tune or backup, back in the day talent.
RIP BOBBY AND THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE GREATEST SONGS IN AN UNBELIEVABLE ERA OF MUSIC. THE MUSIC OF MY YOUTH.
Talent doesn't need editing and autotune. That's the biggest difference between the great oldies and now.
This was when talent truly mattered,also many children were conceived to this song!💘💘💘
Pretty sure I was... either that or knights in white satin.
Yeah have never understood having sex to music lol It puts me off even thinking about it let alone trying it.. Which is why I never have done.
Last dance before shipping off to viet nam for a lot of boys.
Your children will still be watching this.
Timeless.
I am 79 and I was there when they did this music. You cannot imagine slow dancing cheek to cheek with the one you love to this music....you see, when you did...their words became your words....do your self a favor and listen to Linda Ronstadt, the greatest female singer of all time. at one time she had 3 number one single on the country and western, pop and rock charts. she sang about 6 different kinds of music...those three, opera, Big Band, Mariachi Spanish music....when she went solo her back up band became The Eagles. Listen to her DESPERADO, Adios, Tumbling Dice, Poor Wandering One, Whats New...with Nelson Riddle and his BIG Band orchestra, Blue Bayou, she did 3 albums with Nelson RIddle of the great american song book and every song is gold...she did a duet with Neville? that won a grammy ....a great love song....and a lot of her singing is just her and a piano with a microphone you could have bought at Radio shack for $15...so her voice is golden....
The best live recording of all time.
Women were exalted in song back then, not called 'bitches' and 'hos' and denigrated as in modern pop music. Society itself has grown coarser and more base, and more's the pity.
And love songs back then were written like a personal love letter between two people. Very intimate, with lots of feeling. Nothing like today. Are there even modern love songs?
@@tjsogmc Maybe more like 'lust' songs, rather than 'love' songs.
Spot on! Well said.
I agree. Makes me sad, but hell I will be dead soon.
Exactly. We were blessed with the music.
This was my high school graduation song! It's still one of the most beautiful songs ever written! It's great to see that young people today agree!
Nobody does this better than Bobby Hatfield no one ever will what a voice it gives you goosebumps
When we lost this Man, the World died a little. R.I.P.
The one and only Bobby Hatfield, no falsetto; he was a counter tenor with 4 1/2 octave range.
Yep it's the rarest vocal range for singers male or female.
Wow.
I hadn’t noticed that before.
I am almost 70 and remember some of these songs coming out for the first time. I am very encouraged by your reaction to this song. I have grown to appreciate many songs of each decade and dozens of genres. I let RUclips often be my guide in remembering some of these golden oldies. Happy listening! 🙂
I'm 78 years old and have been blessed to have lived thru this period of the 50's, 60's and 70's .etc. I wouldn't trade places with anyone growing up today if I could. I'm glad you enjoyed music from the time I was your age and younger.
El Mirage, Arizona
I'm 57 and damn sure wouldn't.
Ditto
Ditto I’m 70 lot of good and bad memories but wouldn’t change a thing 😂
80 here…+completely agree
Agree.
Another thing to add is the fact that this was done LIVE not taped like shows are today so there was no room for error. Also; most singers and talent back then did not have any professional VOCAL training.
The technology they used then is called "Rehearse-Tune". They just practiced a lot, and performed live a lot, and got good at their trade.
@@Tijuanabill And they ways to recover is something messed up. eg. Make a joke, scat over forgotten lyrics, etc.
AND his mum was in the audience :)
Had to be 'taped' or we wouldn t be seeing it now.
@@lindalandry2519 true however; In those days this was performed live on TV as it happened unlike today when shows like this are Pre-Recorded then they can play it back
I wish young people like you can feel the music being 72years young my wife over 40 + years enjoys 🇨🇦
They are the most incredible duo known to mankind! Gorgeous voices. I miss the simplicity of this era.
Bobby Hatfield…was such a brilliant countertenor! This is one of the greatest Live TV vocal performance in tv history. No autotune, filters or cheats…just pure talent!
Y'all, she is dipping her toes in "Blue-Eyed Soul"! 😍❤️
You're right. We're lucky to have YT to re-hear all these wonderful musical moments. There really WERE great vocalists and bands from days past. Glad you're finding them. Congrats Miss Lilly !!
I listen to these songs and I am overwhelmed with such a powerful melancholic nostalgia. It’s because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.
The Carpenters will blow you away. Karen Carpenter had perfect pitch, a fabulous range, and an exquisite voice.
And apparently Karen Carpenter was a helluva drummer.
@@doug071173 yes she was.
#This. Always this. Karen was a vocal angel. Start with "Close to You"
She preferred to be thought of more as a drummer than a vocalist. That's where her true passion was. You can see the joy on her face when she's playing her drum solos.
AND she is a killer drummer!!!
The difference between singing and performing. This is a pure sound. Absolutely amazing...still!!❤❤
You know Big O just stood there as well like this.. and sang. That's all these people did.
I love how her accent comes out when she says " chance"
So wonderful to see a young person enjoy this performance in these times….
This song will humble most of us tenors
And for us baritones and basses, it's "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". Most of us have probably tried to sing Bill Medley's part, and while we can hit the notes, we can't make the music nearly as well as he did.
I'm a baritone and this song is hard for me. Those high notes are a gift from God.
I was a first tenor back in the day. This was an unreal performance. It's the ease and lack of strain both during and after. Amazing.
No one will EVER do this song better than Bobby did....Man had one of the nicest voices of all time, gone way too soon.
YES AND DID SO WELL WITH A BAD COLD😊
Remember if there's a rock and roll heaven you know they have a hell of a band
There's a video out there of Elvis doing a cover of this song which is pretty good (but rough in the beginning as he's out of breath), but even he couldn't match this.
I am plus 70 and had this 45 record. Still gives me chills. Men overseas at war. Post WWII, Korea, and during Vietnam.
I was born in 1959 so I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. The music that came out during that period was something else. This song would be the type you would have heard just around the time the Beatles came out big. That was something hearing all the good music from that era, like this song, when it was brand new.
He had the Flu when he sang this. A top 10 live performance all time.
Bobby Hatfield & Bill Medley were flawless. I grew up with them. I am 73 and when that song came out, those were one of the best years of my life.
I hear ya, brother. Me, too.
Bobby was a wonderful counter-tenor; that means he could sing that high.
1st time i listen to this song was from a small transistor radio in a mountain outpost in Vietnam, wow! God bless.
This song warms your heart and makes you fall in love.
I miss the innocence of this era.. I only wish it could be brought back... So adorable, her reaction was truly timeless
Played at millions and millions of high school dances and weddings!
I think this song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, After so many years, this song still makes me tear.
I'm 73 and this song still gives me chills, I still can not hear it enough
Many have tried but none could ever come close to the great Bobby Hatfield! This was and always will be his song.
Ya, even Elvis couldn't come close.
@@david5544g Bobby did it best - but I think Elvis came close.
Check out Gerard Joling, Dutch artist❤
@@wimvander1427 That was good but if the Righteous Brothers were a !0, he's about a six... Skill wise it's no comparison.
You said it, pure and genuine. This guy had such a range, almost unstoppable. I can see in your face how much you appreciate good vocals. Thanks for sharing.
I am 70 and I have always loved this song. He sings it so effortlessly. So glad you can appreciate it.
So good that a youngster so appreciates that level of talent. I grew up in that era, and the music was fabulous. It was genuine! Bless you young lady!
One of the greatest love songs of all time 😢😢😢😢
Lovely reaction, Lilly. I'm 65 and have watched reactions to this performance many times. It's always such a joy to see someone like you, so young, feel this music. It's just timeless and of the soul. When you're an open soul yourself, connection occurs. Thank you, very much. 🙏🌺
I am in my 70's and have recorded this great song on my channel. I loved it when it first came out.
ruclips.net/video/4MCKXY1Cl5w/видео.htmlsi=aVIjwCMrgz_U8yz4
I hope you like it.
I’m 75 years old and Still Love their Music 🎶 🙏🏼♥️👍🏼🙌
Thanking God I got to be young and alive during that era. Rest in Peace Bobby Hatfield. This was my wife's and I favorite!
I’ve heard this song millions of times. But your reaction brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
I agree. The simple beauty and unrivaled natural talent Bobby brought to this song, both studio and live, are a marvel that still can put a lump in my throat and at times tears in my eyes. Lily Jane, your reaction to this haunting masterpiece only added to its allure and emotional power. I was 15 when it was released and it still stuns me 59 years later. Thank you for posting this.
I am 62 and so glad I saw great musicians of the 1960s and 1970s who could actually sing and did not realize at the time, how many were musicians playing real instruments. You don't know what you have 'till it's gone.
I am in my 70's and have recorded this great song on my channel. I loved it when it first came out.
ruclips.net/video/4MCKXY1Cl5w/видео.htmlsi=aVIjwCMrgz_U8yz4
I hope you like it.
I'm so happy you have finally "discovered" the Righteous Brothers. They were incredible performers.
Just pure talent. No auto tune, No voice over and just awesome talent
That fact that Bobby could woo a woman in 2024 shows how timeless his singing is.
How was he doing that? TALENT.
I have never heard such a complete admiration for our generation.
I was born in the 50s....grew up with this great music...
Today's "music" does not hold a candle!!
Bobby Hatfield was the counter tenor and Bill Medley was the baritone who did not sing in this one. This song is timeless!
Definitely the ultimate version of this song in most peoples minds.
Possibly the most perfect vocal ever performed.
After just graduating from the 9th grade in Southern California, the summer of ‘65 was the greatest times for me, because of such ‘Hits’ like this one. How I miss those days and friends. I’m glad this young lady, took the opportunity to listen and feel the joy, we also experienced. God Bless you!
It's called talent. The older stars that made it big had talent.
Unchained Melody goes back to the mid 1960s. Radio couldn't play this enough.
Actually, this song was written for a movie in 1955, but your point is well taken.
Actually it goes back to 1955. It was the theme song to the movie "Unchained"
What the lyrics are intended to evoke are a little clearer if you know that "Unchained" was a "prison movie."@@gordonhaire9206
@@gordonhaire9206 Yes! and many covered this song before the Righteous Brothers but they never did it so perfectly as Bobby. I include Elvis in that statement.. Elvis did this song as "Elvis" okay, but it;s overrated. he did all of his ballads that way.
Last dance for a lot of gi.s and their wives in 1965. Next stop viet nam. And a lot of them didn't come back.
Boys and girls, this are real singers!
The greatest musical duo ever. 1000 times better than the junk out there today.
Bobby knew he'd nailed it with that lip bite at the end. Truly one of the best live performances you're ever likely to hear
Some music is timeless for a reason. I don't care how many hundreds of years into the future you go, songs like this will still be playing. You should check out the performance of "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling." It showcases both of their voices and there are several great live versions here on RUclips.
I was in High School in 1965. Best times of my life. The 70’s… Fantastic also. I’d go back to the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s in a Heartbeat. ❤
Thank u for sharing this
They Both were Amazing
& their songs were timeless
Several if their songs are
Special & impactful
Sheer talent, back in those days.
