A comment down below states that Bobby was singing in falsetto. Not so. Bobby was a "counter-tenor," meaning that he could go from a baritone to a G5 0r 6. Just watch him closely, no strain, no sweat. Watch his live performance on the Andy Williams Show, 1965. Falsetto is forced and strained. Bobby's facial expressions are relaxed, no sign of stress, just the beauty of his voice and emotions.
About their voices… Bobby was a first tenor with counter-tenor range. He had 3 and 1/2 Octaves on his recorded songs (B2 to Eb6) but Bill commented they never did figure out how high he could go. Bill is a bass baritone and could sing up into tenor range - around 2 and 1/2 octaves. He had a lyric bass voice - he could sing in that range, not just reach the notes. Their voices were so good together in part because of Bobby’s outstanding ability to harmonize.
"Soulful," huh? that is why they are called "Blue-Eyed Soul"! You have got to listen to, react to.. (Your my soul and inspiration) by them! Great reaction to them! I love them, always will. The tall one is Bill Medley, the blond one who passed away is Bobby Hatfield. RIP Bobby!!
Glad to see the different generations listen to this music.this song was played more than any other song in American Radio history.No other song has surpassed it. Imagine that out of millions of records Theirs were the best.
Thank you thank you very much I really appreciate you sitting there and listening to the whole song without commenting because, Bobby and Bill always have something extra and they're singing their songs and to get the whole meaning would be to listen thank you.
Bobby Hatfield is the one that sang Unchained Melody! Bill Medley is the man with the deep voice! They did solo songs throughout their careers as well as singing together! 😁
Bill Medley has deep voice, Bobby Hatfield falsetto voice. The greatest duo ever. Been a big fan since the beginning 1964. Bill is still performing at age 81 with Bucky Heard. Bobby Hatfield passed in 2003. Sadly missed by many!
@@rubydazzler OH, Stand to be corrected. To me no one can sing Unchained Melody like him. Actually the studio and live versions are somewhat different but magnificent to me..
There's a video (not on the internet thank God) of me, my best friend and her dad lip synching this at Universal Studios Orlando when it first opened... Clair Mel Express!! The movie Top Gun really brought this song back out.
At their best these guys were on a different level. Try this one some time Ruthie. Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time m.ruclips.net/video/8nKzFOfIjMg/видео.html
Bill Medley ( Tall Deep Voice) and Bobby Hatfield ( Higher Voice ) All time classic's !!! Good job on your reactions !

Bobby’s high notes are a result of a 4-5 octave voice, not falsetto. There’s no strain when he goes really high, like he does in Unchained Melody.

As Bobby said the skinny one.
Music before 1975 , Lyrics from the "Mississippi" song
"now the country song forever lost its soul when the guitar player turned to rock and roll"

It's unknown how many babies were made because of this song.

make you cry..... awesome.
Thanks for listening
I saw them live in 1978 in Evansville Indiana. I love their show. Great singers.
Lucky you!!
Yes and Bill came out in the audience and sat on my lap. My sister got mad at me.
Marvellous. There is nothing like their harmony. It is unique.
Check out their "Soul and Inspiration "!!!!
Cher is one of the backup singers
Wow!
They are one of a kind voices perfectly blended!

High voice-Tenor. Deep voice- Baritone.

Not falsetto, Bobby was a counter tenor, the high notes were his natural head voice. Barry Gibb was a falsetto.
