I cannot believe anyone would think Bobby Hatfield was the "less talented of the pair"! His voice and the heart and soul he pours into every performance are incomparable!
hmm, that would've been Bill's little ' technicalwise contribution' (conspiring with Spector and his a-list buddies otherwise or no) in describing Golden Boy here.. If anything, Bill was more likely to be the steppingstone of Bobby to soar off on, and it made Bill cringe more than once. Hence the downgradings here and there. Hence Bobby's ' taking it up a notch ' backfiring from time to time, and rightfully so. Nothing in this world compares to my sunray man.
@@janedoe1749 I think Bill might have been a bit jealous, because most people loved Bobby so much, he was something truly special, and Bill as an Alpha had to keep putting him down? They were both fab in their different ways but Bobby was just that bit more fab. I've noticed in old interviews online, when he speaks he then seems to look at Bill, for approval?
The writer wasn't saying that Bobby was a less talented singer or performer. He qualified it by saying "(at least from a songwriting and production standpoint)". Bobby's voice was one in a million and man, did he know how to use it. His voice has a much larger range than Bill's, though I love Bill's voice and "soul". However, Bill was a songwriter and a producer. Bobby was not. Bill produced "Unchained Melody"(and played the piano on the recording). The first copies released credited him as the producer. It was intended to be the "B" side of the record and Phil Spector (Genius with a huge ego and as history points out, other "issues") was okay with Bill's name on it, because he believed it was a "throw away" song, just something for the "B" side that no one listened to anyway. Spector did nothing to promote the song. As fate would have it, a disc jockey somewhere started playing it and it did, indeed, become the hit it was destined to be. When that happened and they pressed more copies, Spector replaced Bill's producing credit with his own name on the label. From all reports, Bobby with the "Golden Voice" was not as motivated as Bill to get into writing, producing and the business of music. Not a slam, but he just wanted to sing, get paid, and party (which did shorten his life. His heart attack was thought to have been brought on by years of cocaine use and not the singular time that he had the fatal heart attack). They were just very different people who worked very well together, each with their own strengths and human weaknesses. They were both extremely talented in different ways. I don't think one was more "talented" than the other, just different talents in equal measure. Both could sing and perform, but Bill was more interested in the technical end and he was very good at it as proven by his work on "Unchained Melody". Bobby was the "party' guy with the incomparable voice and Bill was the guy with the great voice but more interested in the writing and producing. Bill made Bobby sound even better. Both are brilliant, Bobby's talents are just more obvious since you don't see what goes on in the booth when the producer does his thing.
What an amazing performance. So much heart and soul.Every time these guys perform it’s like an orchestra they just bring the whole audience in. And to hear Bobby Hatfield sing is my greatest pleasure because he’s phenomenal and good looking
Bobby, just so cute ... as he was once referred to by Bill, the little blond bomber. I can't really believe that he suffered from paralysing stage fright, he always looks like he's having such a good time on stage to me. I've never seen this one before, so thanks for posting it.
I'd even watch Shindig & Hullabaloo just to see the guests. This takes me back to a time when I was growing less into R&R and more into Jazz and Classical music. But I grew up with the birth of R&R and it will always be a part of me. Thanks for this channel, John.
Energy loaded fun show. Tossing mic, Bill joking and lowering mic lower and lower for Bobby, walking away with mic... 😂Think Bill was just as funny as Bobby but doesn't get the credit
@@marieross3677 So true. Just as easily could never happened if guitarist Barry Rillera who was in both The Variations and The Paramours had not urged them to observe each other and local bandleader Wimber who also saw their combined potential. As to the jawlines, 💋💋💋

Love this! Bobby had quite the dance moves in this performance, too!😊❤
As a Justine I'm proud of this song!!!!!! Sooo coool👐👐👐
What an amazing performance. So much heart and soul.Every time these guys perform it’s like an orchestra they just bring the whole audience in. And to hear Bobby Hatfield sing is my greatest pleasure because he’s phenomenal and good looking
Ɓobbÿ has it all no matter solo or duet. The only time he stands still is on Ed Sullivan show. You'll never walk alone. He is still gorgeous.
Never get tired of Bobby and Bill. Great singers, very sharp dressers, and NO scruffy, shaggy beards.
These guys were great performers
The go-go dancers add so much to this number.
I thought so too!

Bill and Bobby are great together, best duo ever. Love their solo stuff too. They are both very talented. love them.
GREAT PERFORMANCE ! GREAT SHOW !!
Wow just one handled microphone what a flex 😮😮😮
Darlene Love and the Blossoms backing up.
Surely everyone can appreciate Bilĺ's singing but give him break - he is standing beside Bobby - the "blond bomb".
Amazing voices and performances

Robert Silvestri You're welcome, Robert.
John hello it's been ages !!! Bobby kicked ass in this one lol
I love this one. IMO it's better than Ebb Tide or Lost That Loving Feeling. My kind of music!
@@John1948Ten They are famous for their ballads but I hear ya. It always looked like they were having fun "shakin' it up" lol :o)
@@tonithenightowl1836 Yeah. Like Justine! - ruclips.net/video/tlltRnjh_kA/видео.html
@@John1948Ten How about "I Just Wanna Make Love To You?" Hot!!
Every time this song came on the radio, I would increase the speed I was driving. Thankfully, no tickets!!!
very cool song
Thank you for this!!
Energy loaded fun show. Tossing mic, Bill joking and lowering mic lower and lower for Bobby, walking away with mic... 😂Think Bill was just as funny as Bobby but doesn't get the credit
Amazing!!! Two guys who should never have worked together vocally end up being pure magic. All that AND killer cheekbones!!

Not doubting any qualities of the musicians: Was this really live? I think the mic was sometimes just too far away to deliver such a consistant sound.
@@inlakesh555 As far as I know Shindig was performed live except on a few occasions
@@patricialabbe1416 ok, thank you🤙
I really like the Righteous Brothers are great singers thank you Dottie Brown
ROCK N ROLL 60 S
Great song x
Changed the lyric for T.V. What a great performance!
Richard Leonard Yeah, I noticed that too, Bill almost said the original towards the end there! ;)
He does revert to the original lyric towards the end. Two fingers to the censors!
I wondered how they got away with that particular line on squeaky clean teen tv in those days. Now I know for sure. Lol.😂
@@grahamlarkbey3735 I 've watched this many times and only now picked up on that. Good eye and ear there .
They used the word “ball” when they sang this in the low-budget film “Swingin’ Summer”, which you can also see on RUclips.
cool as ..shame they are only known for a few hits
What, they couldn't afford to have two microphones for these guys?
Hahaha part of the charm and camaraderie!
probably done intentionally so they can do all those little gigs 😁
1965
Why would anyone think that! Shame on them!!
They cleaned up the lyrics!
Who is the original artist?
Don and Dewey, they wrote it as well as recorded it.
Did they copy part of Ray Charles for this?
