Love your reaction .. jaw dropping ... it's said to be the best live performance ever ..no auto tune, no re-takes, no tricks ...pure talent .. blue eyed soul .. a countertenor ..his range is amazing
The incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. No one has sung "Unchained Melody" better than when Bobby Hatfield sang this song (Live) on the (1965) Andy Williams Show (58) years ago. This version of "Unchained Melody" has set the standard that every artist since 1965 has used this version. It has gone down as the greatest (Live) television performance ever! The Host of the show Andy Williams said it best-"Beautiful." Love your reaction to one of the greatest performances ever.
This is when you had to have actual TALENT to sing live on TV. His mom was in the audience, seeing him sing live for the first time, and he said he was much more nervous than usual before this performance. RIP Bobby Hatfield.
This will leave you speechless. I was in high school when Bobby sang this song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song, no auto tunes, just pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! ❤️
I'm gonna make a reaction video - reacting to your face when he hit that last high note, LOL. . . I think you'll find MOST people have the exact same reaction to this incredible performance. . . Love your stuff.
first you try to head nod through the beat then you start to sway then your jaw drops then euphoric paralysis sets in and another beautiful woman falls for Bobby :) nice reaction, thanks
It always makes me smile when I watch someone who seems to get the full impact of this great vocal performance from one note to the next...... beautiful
❤❤i still get unable to breath when I watch this, when you can see Bobby taking in those deep breath just before he goes into the highest notes near the end😂😂 just amazing vocal capabilities.❤❤
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice to Bill Medley’s William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. In 2003, Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63. *The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side. * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and he left. He said, 'No, I can do it better.' And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song." * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
Procol Harum. A Whiter Shade Of Pale live Denmark 2006 will blow you away. It was released in 67 , but this live performance is so much more with orchestra, and choir
You did a great job! Thanks for pisting this great video! Baby Boomer here! Retired Teacher too! I love seeing young people enjoying the music we grew up with in the 1960 & 1970's! Thanks again for doing this !😊
You got to hear both of them together. The Shindig TV show is where they sing "Your Lost That Loving Feeling", Hulabuloo TV show to hear "Soul and Inspiration" and the Ed Sullivan TV show is where they perform live "You'll Never Walk Alone" . Listen to Bobby's recording (no video) of "Ebbtide" and you'll continue to be amazed by their individual & combined talents.
His name was Bobby (Bobby Hatfield 1940-2003) and with his pure talent, he took Unchained Melody to a very high level. May he rest in peace and may the earth be light for him. Indeed, we are dust, nothing but dust (by the way, isn't it written: "you who admired me yesterday, do you know that I will be dust forever tomorrow?". Rest in peace Bobby; Amen
"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song written with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret, North wrote the music as a them for the prison film Unchained (1955).It has since become one of the most recorded songs of the 20th. The best-known version of "Unchained Melody" was recorded by the duo the Righteous Brothers in 1965. Suggestion more music videos from the great 1960s.
bobby hatfield and his counter-tenor voice his high notes are natural not forced like a falsetto. you have to listen to bobby hatfield "summertime" you get to hear bobby's full range
You can't get more powerful than this. A man talking about love to a woman. Where is this now days? Wap and we know what that means. Saw the last concert of the duo alive. I was with my grandparents. This was almost 30 years ago and gma was dying of cancer. It was amazing since I had heard this song so much because of them. Thank you. ❤
Here is a link to another Righteous Brother performance. A little different. With The Blossoms on a tv show called Shindig. The Night Time Is The Right Time. ruclips.net/video/7wRA9tfEwLs/видео.html
An extra powerful off the chain reaction ⛓! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to The Righteous Brothers before: You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling. Unchained Melody was released as the lead single from The Righteous Brothers' 1965 album: Just Once In My Life. It was written by Alex North and Hy Zaret. It was produced by Bill Medley. The song reached #4 on the Hot 100. I believe this live performance is from the 1960s television show "Shindig!". Bobby Hatfield sang-performed this song on the solo tip. In 1990, The Righteous Brothers made history as the first music industry act to have two versions of the same song: "Unchained Melody", in the Top 20 at the same time. The song: "Unchained Melody", first appeared in the 1955 film: Unchained, starring the former football player Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch. The movie takes place in a prison, and the song was written for the movie to reflect the mood of the prisoners as they wait for time to pass. Alex North wrote the music, Hy Zaret wrote the lyrics, Les Baxter sang the song in the studio and an actor/singer named Todd Duncan sang the song in the film. Although The Righteous Brothers' song version is the most remembered version today, it was by no means the first or most-successful version of the song: "Unchained Melody." Four versions of the song made the Top 40 in 1955, three of them simultaneously in the Top 20: Les Baxter (#1 - from the movie Unchained), Al Hibbler (#3 - first vocal version), Roy Hamilton (#6), June Valli (#29). All four of these recordings were in the US Top 40 on May 14, 1955. Harry Belafonte also recorded a version of the song that same year. The Righteous Brothers' 1965 cover of the song: "Unchained Melody", is now widely considered the definitive version of the song. Bobby Hatfield's vocal in the original recording in particular is highly praised, it has been described as "powerful, full of romantic hunger, yet ethereal", and a "vocal tour de force", although his later re-recording was noted as "fudging only a bit on the highest notes". The production of their original recording has been described as "epic", and that with "Bobby Hatfield's emotion-packed tenor soaring to stratospheric heights, it's a record designed to reduce anyone separated from the one they loved to a "pile of mush". Of the hundreds of recordings made, The Righteous Brothers' version, with a solo by Bobby Hatfield, became the jukebox standard after its release. Bobby Hatfield changed the melody in the final verse and many subsequent covers of the song are based on his version. The Righteous Brothers recording achieved a second round of great popularity when featured in the film Ghost in 1990. In 2004, it was number 27 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high note "I need your love" lyric line wasn't how the song was written. In our interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Bobby Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Bill Medley if he could make an edit on the song which hey accommodated and Bobby Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. The song: "Unchained Melody", was originally released as the "B" side of the group's single: "Hung On You", as the follow-up single to the group's song: "Just Once in My Life". However, the single: "Hung On You", failed to interest radio DJs who instead chose to play the 'B' side track: "Unchained Melody". According to Bill Medley, producer Phil Spector, who would deliberately place a throwaway song that was not meant to be played on the B side, was so incensed by DJs choosing to play the B side that he started to call their radio stations to get them to stop playing the song: "Unchained Melody". However, he failed and the rest is history. The song has been featured in some films 📽 including: Ghost (1990), Baby It's You (1983), The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell Of Fear (1991), Ready To Wear (1994), The Devil's Own (1997), Alfie (2004), View From The Top (2003), Wallace & Gromit: A Matter Of Loaf And Death (2008), Holmes & Watson (2018), Tall Girl (2019) and We Have A Ghost (2023). The song has been featured in some television shows-television movies 📺 including: The Wonder Years (1990), Doogie Howser M.D. (1991), Parker Lewis Can't Lose (1992), Ballykissangel (1996), Quantum Leap (1990 & 1992), The Vicar Of Dibley (1999), American Dad! (2019), Chappelle's Show (2003), The Simpsons (2018), Close Enough (2021), The Neighborhood (2022), Phil Spector (2013) and Fresh Off The Boat (2016). The Righteous Brothers Info 📰: The Righteous Brothers are a musical duo originally formed by William "Bill" Thomas Medley and Robert "Bobby" Lee Hatfield in 1962-63, but now, in 2023, the group is comprised of Bill Medley and Bucky Heard. William "Bill" Thomas Medley was born on September 19, 1940 in Santa Ana, California .He attended Santa Ana High School, graduating in 1958. He sang in the church choir while growing up and his parents had a Swing band. He became interested in R&B music through listening to black-oriented radio stations. An early influence he has cited is Little Richard, who he first heard when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and later Ray Charles, Bobby "Blue" Bland and B.B. King. Bill Medley first formed a singing duo called "The Romancers" with his friend Don Fiduccia, who also played the guitar. He began to write songs and record multi-track recordings in his own living room. At 19, he had two songs: "Womaling" and "Chimes Of My Heart," recorded by vocal group "The Diamonds". Bill Medley and Don Fiduccia then formed a group called "The Paramours" in 1960, with Sal Fasulo and Nick Tuturro, later joined by Bobby Hatfield, Mike Rider and Barry Rillera. The band had its first paying gig at Little Italy restaurant in Anaheim, California. "The Paramours" were signed to Mercury Records' subsidiary label Smash Records, releasing such songs including: "That's The Way We Love" and "Miss Social Climber", in 1961. Robert "Bobby" Lee Hatfield was born on August 10, 1940 in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin but grew up in Anaheim, California. He attended Anaheim High School, where he played football and baseball, and was co-captain of the basketball team. He was student body president in the 1957-1958 school year, graduating in 1958. He briefly considered signing as a professional ballplayer, but his passion for music led him to pursue a singing career while still attending high school. He attended Fullerton College. He eventually encountered his singing partner, Bill Medley, while attending California State University, Long Beach. He is an alumnus of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He passed away on November 5, 2003 in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the age of 63. Bill Medley formed the group with Bobby Hatfield in 1963. They had first performed together in 1962 in the Los Angeles area as part of a five-member group called "The Paramours", and adopted the name The Righteous Brothers when they became a duo. They were often told that they sounded like African-American Gospel singers and chose the group name after some black Marines remarked of their singing: "that's righteous, brothers", and called them, "righteous brothers". Their most active recording period was in the 1960s and 1970s, and, after several years inactive as a duo, Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley reunited in 1981 and continued to perform until Bobby Hatfield's death in 2003. The music they performed is sometimes dubbed "Blue-Eyed Soul". Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley had contrasting vocal ranges, which helped them create a distinctive sound as a duet. They each had the vocal talent to perform as soloists. Bill Medley sang the low parts with his bass-baritone voice, with Bobby Hatfield taking the higher-register vocals with his tenor. His voice reached the register of a countertenor. Following a year and a half of Top 40 non-entries on Billboard's Hot 100, the duo hit big with the late-1964 release of what would become their signature record: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", a transatlantic number one hit song produced by Phil Spector, often considered one of his finest works and a landmark recording in popular music. Other notable hits include three US 1965 Top Tens - "Just Once In My Life" and covers of "Unchained Melody" (also a huge hit in 1990 after being featured in the film Ghost) and "Ebb Tide" - and the massive US 1966 number one "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration", plus the 1974 comeback hit "Rock And Roll Heaven". Both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley split up in February 1968, a breakup that would last for more than six years, when Bill Medley left to pursue a solo career. Bill Medley recorded a few solo recordings on several different record labels, while Bobby Hatfield teamed up with singer Jimmy Walker (from The Knickerbockers) using The Righteous Brothers name on the MGM Records record label releasing the album: Re-Birth, in 1969. In 1972, Bill Medley was nominated for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist in the 1972 Grammy Awards for his recording of the song: "Freedom And Fear", a track from Michel Colombier's album: Wings. Bill Medley has released 14 solo albums between 1968 and 2007. While Bobby Hatfield released one solo album in 1971. ***CONTINUE BELOW***
In 1974, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield announced their reunion at an appearance on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour television show. They signed with Haven Records, and within a few weeks of reforming, they recorded their comeback song: "Rock And Roll Heaven", a paean to several deceased Rock singers which became a hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Several more minor hits on Haven Records followed. After 1975, however, The Righteous Brothers would not appear on music charts except for re-releases of older songs and compilation albums, some of which were re-recordings of earlier works. Between 1976 and 1981, Hatfield and Medley stopped performing as a duo after the death of Medley's first wife, as he wanted time off to look after his son. They reunited for an anniversary special on American Bandstand in 1981 to perform an updated version of the song: "Rock And Roll Heaven". They resumed touring intermittently, and they recorded a 21st Anniversary Celebration concert in 1983 at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, which was later released on video and was also aired on television. In the late 1970s, Bill Medley once again began to record as a solo artist and had some success in the 1980s. In 1984, he scored country hits with the songs: "Till Your Memory's Gone" and "I Still Do", the latter also an Adult-Contemporary music chart crossover hit. In late 1987, his duet with Jennifer Warnes: "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life", which appeared on the soundtrack for the 1987 film: Dirty Dancing, topped the Billboard Hot 100. It won them a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. In 1990, Bobby Hatfield's original recording of the song: "Unchained Melody", was featured in the popular 1990 film: Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. It triggered an avalanche of requests to Top 40 radio stations by fans who had seen the movie to play the 1965 Righteous Brothers' song recording. This motivated Polygram records to re-release the song to Top 40 radio. It became a major hit for a second time, reaching No. 13 on the Hot 100 in 1990. It also became their second No. 1 in the UK. The duo quickly re-recorded another version of the song: "Unchained Melody", for Curb Records. The re-recorded version of the song: "Unchained Melody", hit No. 19 on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). They also re-recorded other songs for a 1990 compilation album: The Best Of The Righteous Brothers, released by Curb Records. Bill Medley would later describe the re-recordings as "artistically, a stupid idea; financially, a wonderfully idea". The album sold very well and received a double platinum certification from the RIAA. A greatest hits album collection of the original recordings called: The Very Best of The Righteous Brothers...Unchained Melody, was released later in 1990 by Polydor Records. This compilation album also became their first entry in the UK album chart. They began to tour extensively all through the 1990s and early 2000s and performed for about 12 weeks a year in Las Vegas. Bobby Hatfield 🙏 was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on November 5, 2003. He was found in the hotel room by Bill Medley and The Righteous Brothers' road manager Dusty Hanvey shortly after he missed a scheduled performance with Bill Medley at Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium. The autopsy report attributed his death to heart failure brought on by cocaine usage and advanced coronary disease. Bill Medley continued to perform as a solo artist for some time after Bobby Hatfield's passing, occasionally singing with a screen projection of old film footage of Bobby Hatfield. In 2016, Bill Medley re-formed The Righteous Brothers with Bucky Heard (born on July 14, 1965 in Dadeville, Alabama), an Auburn University graduate and established entertainer/performer. They performed at Las Vegas's Harrah's Showroom for more than 40 shows from March 23, 2016, to November 8, 2016. Bucky Heard has since communicated that he knows he can never replace Bobby Hatfield, nor will he attempt to do so and that he intends to sing like Hatfield rather than sound like him. They would later release an album called: The Righteous Brothers, in 2016, featuring several of The Righteous Brothers' hit singles sung by Bill Medley and Bucky Heard. In 2020, former group member Jimmy Walker 🙏passed away at his home in California at the age of 79. No cause of death has been reported. The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked them no. 16 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. The Righteous Brothers still perform their music live on stage in 2023.

Fun Fact 🕵♂: According Bill Medley, him and Bobby Hatfield had agreed to do one solo song each per album. Both wanted to sing the song: "Unchained Melody", for their fourth album, but Bobby Hatfield won the coin toss and the rest is history.
@@IceManLikeGervin Actually, the coin toss never happened. Bobby brought the song to the studio to be his solo on the album. He had been singing it "ever since I can remember." Bill produced the track and played piano and sang background vocals.
The White radio stations wouldn't accept them at first because the said they sounded Black. ,... It was Black Radio Air play who started playing them and made them Famous... The got their name because they were playing black clubs and one brother hollered out " YOU GUYS SOUND RIGHTEOUS!!!! "and that's how they got their name....
Remember this was LIVE on TV back in 1965.
Love your reaction .. jaw dropping ... it's said to be the best live performance ever ..no auto tune, no re-takes, no tricks ...pure talent .. blue eyed soul .. a countertenor ..his range is amazing
The incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. No one has sung "Unchained Melody" better than when Bobby Hatfield sang this song (Live) on the (1965) Andy Williams Show (58) years ago. This version of "Unchained Melody" has set the standard that every artist since 1965 has used this version. It has gone down as the greatest (Live) television performance ever! The Host of the show Andy Williams said it best-"Beautiful." Love your reaction to one of the greatest performances ever.
This is when you had to have actual TALENT to sing live on TV. His mom was in the audience, seeing him sing live for the first time, and he said he was much more nervous than usual before this performance.
RIP Bobby Hatfield.
They were called "Blue Eyed Soul!"
Loved your reaction to my favorite singer! No auto tune, no fluff, pure talent a
He was sick when he sang here. His mother was in the audience so he gave it all!❤
Both of these performers had 2 of the finest male voices in modern music. Thanks for your reaction.
No problem!
Great reaction. Check out both 'brothers' singing You'll Never Walk Alone.
Great reaction vid. Real
Keep it up, girl
✌️
One of the best reaction so good 😃🤣😃😊😎
Dead for nearly twenty years, now, and yet Bobby Hatfield is STILL melting lady's hearts.
What greater tribute could there be?
This will leave you speechless. I was in high school when Bobby sang this song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song, no auto tunes, just pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! ❤️
I was also in high school when Bobby did this song. Actually I was in Junior High.
His mom was in the audience. That's why he was so happy at the end.
I'm gonna make a reaction video - reacting to your face when he hit that last high note, LOL. . . I think you'll find MOST people have the exact same reaction to this incredible performance. . . Love your stuff.
Live and no auto tune...just pure talent!
That's called real singing!!!
beautiful reaction

then euphoric paralysis sets in
and another beautiful woman falls for Bobby :)

You had the perfect reaction to what I I believe is the greatest live performance in modern music history..
Possibly the greatest live performance ever!
It always makes me smile when I watch someone who seems to get the full impact of this great vocal performance from one note to the next...... beautiful
Agreed!
❤❤i still get unable to breath when I watch this, when you can see Bobby taking in those deep breath just before he goes into the highest notes near the end😂😂 just amazing vocal capabilities.❤❤
You could call it high powered vocal romance. This was the most perfect live, unaltered performance you'll likely ever see and hear.
Awesome reaction!!
The very best!!!!!!!!!!
Gives me goosebumps...the nice kind..
Beautiful . Vocals are so great , it seems unreal.
The blue eyed soul was the greatest music back then and is still great today.
Love the reaction !!
Absolutely love your reaction! Many people consider this the best solo vocal performance ever recorded may your path always rise up to greet you!
Loved your reaction to this tremendous musical hit back in the day.
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice to Bill Medley’s William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. In 2003, Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63.
*The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side.
* The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and he left. He said, 'No, I can do it better.' And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song."
* This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
First time i heard them in an interview, but dang'it, i am not surprised, they got a good sense of humour too :)
Procol Harum. A Whiter Shade Of Pale live Denmark 2006 will blow you away. It was released in 67 , but this live performance is so much more with orchestra, and choir
WTG sista girl...ya just heard the best of the best
You are so sweet. I like how you appreciate every detail of the song.
Live music has no equal! This is the best version of the song that I’ve ever heard. A real pantie dropper 😘👵🏼✌🏼
He bit his lip because he nailed it
You did a great job! Thanks for pisting this great video! Baby Boomer here! Retired Teacher too! I love seeing young people enjoying the music we grew up with in the 1960 & 1970's! Thanks again for doing this !😊
They were the best of the best! Their renditions of You Lost That Loving Feeling and Unchained Melody has and never will be equaled.!
Thanks so much!!
Pure and beautiful. Top shelf blue eyed soul.
Absolutely loved your reaction! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Love that song so much
bill medley is a base-baritone with an extra deep voice in "youve lost the loving feeling" and bill voice is even deeper in "soul and inspiration"
You got to hear both of them together. The Shindig TV show is where they sing "Your Lost That Loving Feeling", Hulabuloo TV show to hear "Soul and Inspiration" and the Ed Sullivan TV show is where they perform live "You'll Never Walk Alone" . Listen to Bobby's recording (no video) of "Ebbtide" and you'll continue to be amazed by their individual & combined talents.
His name was Bobby (Bobby Hatfield 1940-2003) and with his pure talent, he took Unchained Melody to a very high level. May he rest in peace and may the earth be light for him. Indeed, we are dust, nothing but dust (by the way, isn't it written: "you who admired me yesterday, do you know that I will be dust forever tomorrow?". Rest in peace Bobby; Amen
What a classic. I loved your reaction! Keep on keeping on young lady. I hope you get a BUNCH of subscribers! 🪩🕺🏽🤘🏼🫡❤️
Oh I’m getting there
"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song written with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret, North
wrote the music as a them for the prison film Unchained (1955).It has since become one of the most
recorded songs of the 20th. The best-known version of "Unchained Melody" was recorded by the duo
the Righteous Brothers in 1965. Suggestion more music videos from the great 1960s.
bobby hatfield and his counter-tenor voice his high notes are natural not forced like a falsetto. you have to listen to bobby hatfield "summertime" you get to hear bobby's full range
Best reaction ever!
Listen to him sing summertime if you really want to be amazed
S Nation…. You could not talk after that song!!!
You can't get more powerful than this. A man talking about love to a woman. Where is this now days? Wap and we know what that means. Saw the last concert of the duo alive. I was with my grandparents. This was almost 30 years ago and gma was dying of cancer. It was amazing since I had heard this song so much because of them. Thank you. ❤
Hello from Cody Wyoming. You're awesome keep it up 😊
Hey, thanks!
Here is a link to another Righteous Brother performance. A little different. With The Blossoms on a tv show called Shindig. The Night Time Is The Right Time. ruclips.net/video/7wRA9tfEwLs/видео.html
An extra powerful off the chain reaction ⛓! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to The Righteous Brothers before: You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling. Unchained Melody was released as the lead single from The Righteous Brothers' 1965 album: Just Once In My Life. It was written by Alex North and Hy Zaret. It was produced by Bill Medley. The song reached #4 on the Hot 100. I believe this live performance is from the 1960s television show "Shindig!". Bobby Hatfield sang-performed this song on the solo tip. In 1990, The Righteous Brothers made history as the first music industry act to have two versions of the same song: "Unchained Melody", in the Top 20 at the same time.
The song: "Unchained Melody", first appeared in the 1955 film: Unchained, starring the former football player Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch. The movie takes place in a prison, and the song was written for the movie to reflect the mood of the prisoners as they wait for time to pass. Alex North wrote the music, Hy Zaret wrote the lyrics, Les Baxter sang the song in the studio and an actor/singer named Todd Duncan sang the song in the film.
Although The Righteous Brothers' song version is the most remembered version today, it was by no means the first or most-successful version of the song: "Unchained Melody." Four versions of the song made the Top 40 in 1955, three of them simultaneously in the Top 20: Les Baxter (#1 - from the movie Unchained), Al Hibbler (#3 - first vocal version), Roy Hamilton (#6), June Valli (#29). All four of these recordings were in the US Top 40 on May 14, 1955. Harry Belafonte also recorded a version of the song that same year.
The Righteous Brothers' 1965 cover of the song: "Unchained Melody", is now widely considered the definitive version of the song. Bobby Hatfield's vocal in the original recording in particular is highly praised, it has been described as "powerful, full of romantic hunger, yet ethereal", and a "vocal tour de force", although his later re-recording was noted as "fudging only a bit on the highest notes". The production of their original recording has been described as "epic", and that with "Bobby Hatfield's emotion-packed tenor soaring to stratospheric heights, it's a record designed to reduce anyone separated from the one they loved to a "pile of mush".
Of the hundreds of recordings made, The Righteous Brothers' version, with a solo by Bobby Hatfield, became the jukebox standard after its release. Bobby Hatfield changed the melody in the final verse and many subsequent covers of the song are based on his version. The Righteous Brothers recording achieved a second round of great popularity when featured in the film Ghost in 1990. In 2004, it was number 27 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high note "I need your love" lyric line wasn't how the song was written. In our interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Bobby Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Bill Medley if he could make an edit on the song which hey accommodated and Bobby Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line.
The song: "Unchained Melody", was originally released as the "B" side of the group's single: "Hung On You", as the follow-up single to the group's song: "Just Once in My Life". However, the single: "Hung On You", failed to interest radio DJs who instead chose to play the 'B' side track: "Unchained Melody". According to Bill Medley, producer Phil Spector, who would deliberately place a throwaway song that was not meant to be played on the B side, was so incensed by DJs choosing to play the B side that he started to call their radio stations to get them to stop playing the song: "Unchained Melody". However, he failed and the rest is history.
The song has been featured in some films 📽 including: Ghost (1990), Baby It's You (1983), The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell Of Fear (1991), Ready To Wear (1994), The Devil's Own (1997), Alfie (2004), View From The Top (2003), Wallace & Gromit: A Matter Of Loaf And Death (2008), Holmes & Watson (2018), Tall Girl (2019) and We Have A Ghost (2023).
The song has been featured in some television shows-television movies 📺 including: The Wonder Years (1990), Doogie Howser M.D. (1991), Parker Lewis Can't Lose (1992), Ballykissangel (1996), Quantum Leap (1990 & 1992), The Vicar Of Dibley (1999), American Dad! (2019), Chappelle's Show (2003), The Simpsons (2018), Close Enough (2021), The Neighborhood (2022), Phil Spector (2013) and Fresh Off The Boat (2016).
The Righteous Brothers Info 📰:
The Righteous Brothers are a musical duo originally formed by William "Bill" Thomas Medley and Robert "Bobby" Lee Hatfield in 1962-63, but now, in 2023, the group is comprised of Bill Medley and Bucky Heard.
William "Bill" Thomas Medley was born on September 19, 1940 in Santa Ana, California .He attended Santa Ana High School, graduating in 1958. He sang in the church choir while growing up and his parents had a Swing band. He became interested in R&B music through listening to black-oriented radio stations. An early influence he has cited is Little Richard, who he first heard when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and later Ray Charles, Bobby "Blue" Bland and B.B. King.
Bill Medley first formed a singing duo called "The Romancers" with his friend Don Fiduccia, who also played the guitar. He began to write songs and record multi-track recordings in his own living room. At 19, he had two songs: "Womaling" and "Chimes Of My Heart," recorded by vocal group "The Diamonds". Bill Medley and Don Fiduccia then formed a group called "The Paramours" in 1960, with Sal Fasulo and Nick Tuturro, later joined by Bobby Hatfield, Mike Rider and Barry Rillera. The band had its first paying gig at Little Italy restaurant in Anaheim, California. "The Paramours" were signed to Mercury Records' subsidiary label Smash Records, releasing such songs including: "That's The Way We Love" and "Miss Social Climber", in 1961.
Robert "Bobby" Lee Hatfield was born on August 10, 1940 in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin but grew up in Anaheim, California. He attended Anaheim High School, where he played football and baseball, and was co-captain of the basketball team. He was student body president in the 1957-1958 school year, graduating in 1958. He briefly considered signing as a professional ballplayer, but his passion for music led him to pursue a singing career while still attending high school. He attended Fullerton College. He eventually encountered his singing partner, Bill Medley, while attending California State University, Long Beach. He is an alumnus of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He passed away on November 5, 2003 in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the age of 63.
Bill Medley formed the group with Bobby Hatfield in 1963. They had first performed together in 1962 in the Los Angeles area as part of a five-member group called "The Paramours", and adopted the name The Righteous Brothers when they became a duo. They were often told that they sounded like African-American Gospel singers and chose the group name after some black Marines remarked of their singing: "that's righteous, brothers", and called them, "righteous brothers". Their most active recording period was in the 1960s and 1970s, and, after several years inactive as a duo, Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley reunited in 1981 and continued to perform until Bobby Hatfield's death in 2003. The music they performed is sometimes dubbed "Blue-Eyed Soul".
Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley had contrasting vocal ranges, which helped them create a distinctive sound as a duet. They each had the vocal talent to perform as soloists. Bill Medley sang the low parts with his bass-baritone voice, with Bobby Hatfield taking the higher-register vocals with his tenor. His voice reached the register of a countertenor.
Following a year and a half of Top 40 non-entries on Billboard's Hot 100, the duo hit big with the late-1964 release of what would become their signature record: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", a transatlantic number one hit song produced by Phil Spector, often considered one of his finest works and a landmark recording in popular music. Other notable hits include three US 1965 Top Tens - "Just Once In My Life" and covers of "Unchained Melody" (also a huge hit in 1990 after being featured in the film Ghost) and "Ebb Tide" - and the massive US 1966 number one "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration", plus the 1974 comeback hit "Rock And Roll Heaven".
Both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley split up in February 1968, a breakup that would last for more than six years, when Bill Medley left to pursue a solo career. Bill Medley recorded a few solo recordings on several different record labels, while Bobby Hatfield teamed up with singer Jimmy Walker (from The Knickerbockers) using The Righteous Brothers name on the MGM Records record label releasing the album: Re-Birth, in 1969. In 1972, Bill Medley was nominated for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist in the 1972 Grammy Awards for his recording of the song: "Freedom And Fear", a track from Michel Colombier's album: Wings. Bill Medley has released 14 solo albums between 1968 and 2007. While Bobby Hatfield released one solo album in 1971.

In 1974, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield announced their reunion at an appearance on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour television show. They signed with Haven Records, and within a few weeks of reforming, they recorded their comeback song: "Rock And Roll Heaven", a paean to several deceased Rock singers which became a hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Several more minor hits on Haven Records followed. After 1975, however, The Righteous Brothers would not appear on music charts except for re-releases of older songs and compilation albums, some of which were re-recordings of earlier works.
Between 1976 and 1981, Hatfield and Medley stopped performing as a duo after the death of Medley's first wife, as he wanted time off to look after his son. They reunited for an anniversary special on American Bandstand in 1981 to perform an updated version of the song: "Rock And Roll Heaven". They resumed touring intermittently, and they recorded a 21st Anniversary Celebration concert in 1983 at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, which was later released on video and was also aired on television.
In the late 1970s, Bill Medley once again began to record as a solo artist and had some success in the 1980s. In 1984, he scored country hits with the songs: "Till Your Memory's Gone" and "I Still Do", the latter also an Adult-Contemporary music chart crossover hit. In late 1987, his duet with Jennifer Warnes: "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life", which appeared on the soundtrack for the 1987 film: Dirty Dancing, topped the Billboard Hot 100. It won them a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
In 1990, Bobby Hatfield's original recording of the song: "Unchained Melody", was featured in the popular 1990 film: Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. It triggered an avalanche of requests to Top 40 radio stations by fans who had seen the movie to play the 1965 Righteous Brothers' song recording. This motivated Polygram records to re-release the song to Top 40 radio. It became a major hit for a second time, reaching No. 13 on the Hot 100 in 1990. It also became their second No. 1 in the UK. The duo quickly re-recorded another version of the song: "Unchained Melody", for Curb Records. The re-recorded version of the song: "Unchained Melody", hit No. 19 on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
They also re-recorded other songs for a 1990 compilation album: The Best Of The Righteous Brothers, released by Curb Records. Bill Medley would later describe the re-recordings as "artistically, a stupid idea; financially, a wonderfully idea". The album sold very well and received a double platinum certification from the RIAA. A greatest hits album collection of the original recordings called: The Very Best of The Righteous Brothers...Unchained Melody, was released later in 1990 by Polydor Records. This compilation album also became their first entry in the UK album chart. They began to tour extensively all through the 1990s and early 2000s and performed for about 12 weeks a year in Las Vegas.
Bobby Hatfield 🙏 was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on November 5, 2003. He was found in the hotel room by Bill Medley and The Righteous Brothers' road manager Dusty Hanvey shortly after he missed a scheduled performance with Bill Medley at Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium. The autopsy report attributed his death to heart failure brought on by cocaine usage and advanced coronary disease. Bill Medley continued to perform as a solo artist for some time after Bobby Hatfield's passing, occasionally singing with a screen projection of old film footage of Bobby Hatfield.
In 2016, Bill Medley re-formed The Righteous Brothers with Bucky Heard (born on July 14, 1965 in Dadeville, Alabama), an Auburn University graduate and established entertainer/performer. They performed at Las Vegas's Harrah's Showroom for more than 40 shows from March 23, 2016, to November 8, 2016. Bucky Heard has since communicated that he knows he can never replace Bobby Hatfield, nor will he attempt to do so and that he intends to sing like Hatfield rather than sound like him. They would later release an album called: The Righteous Brothers, in 2016, featuring several of The Righteous Brothers' hit singles sung by Bill Medley and Bucky Heard.
In 2020, former group member Jimmy Walker 🙏passed away at his home in California at the age of 79. No cause of death has been reported.
The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked them no. 16 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. The Righteous Brothers still perform their music live on stage in 2023.

Fun Fact 🕵♂: According Bill Medley, him and Bobby Hatfield had agreed to do one solo song each per album. Both wanted to sing the song: "Unchained Melody", for their fourth album, but Bobby Hatfield won the coin toss and the rest is history.
@@IceManLikeGervin Actually, the coin toss never happened. Bobby brought the song to the studio to be his solo on the album. He had been singing it "ever since I can remember." Bill produced the track and played piano and sang background vocals.
@@Aurora-tp3dy Whatever the case may be Bill Medley has never disputed that story and it has been around for decades...it is what it is.
@@IceManLikeGervin Funny how Bill never mentioned that in front of Bobby when they talked about that song.
@@Aurora-tp3dy I am not going to debate it with you, all the best.
Dimash SOS please... it will blow your mind 😊
Fleetwood Mac The chain I think you'll like this band too give it a try❤
The White radio stations wouldn't accept them at first because the said they sounded Black. ,... It was Black Radio Air play who started playing them and made them Famous... The got their name because they were playing black clubs and one brother hollered out " YOU GUYS SOUND RIGHTEOUS!!!! "and that's how they got their name....
What's the intro song? It was tight.
Posting sorry! Long day!
Please please listen to summertime by Bobby Hatfield
Its crazy insane💖💖💖
I did that one
Please do yourself a favor and listen to the Righteous Brothers singing "I Just Wanna Make Love To You." You won't be sorry.
