Love your excitement ... Best live solo performance ever ... you had to have talent to sing back then ... no auto tune, no re-takes, no gimmicks .. pure God given talent ... Bobby's a counter tenor ... us oldies refer to him as. blue eyed soul
I have watched 100's of reactions about this song and I must say, yours is the best I have seen yet. You go brother!
Now you need to hear them sing You'll Never Walk Alone. They'll blow your mind on this one
No. 1: Bobby Hatfield may have been the most talented vocalist to date. No. 2: The Righteous Brothers as a duo are incomparable. No. 3: You are adorable. Love your enthusiasm for this performance, this song, and this singer. Thank you for a very entertaining reaction. I'm still smiling. So many more great hits by them for you to discover.

Episode #4.5
Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965:
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 Nov. 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 (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)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 before 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."
Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.

You need to react to Bobby Hatfield solo live performance of "Summertime" from 1965. He cuts loose with his soulful vocals. He will blow your mind. Bobby never had any vocal lessons.
Bobby Hatfield the singer here along with Bill Medley were the Righteous Brothers. They sang R&B The were Blue Eyed Soul at it's finest. They each did a solo song on their albums and this was Bobby's. This was in the movie Ghost in 1990.

Backstory on Unchained Melody written in 1955 for the movie Unchained about a prisoner having difficulty finishing his sentence hoping his love was waiting for him. Many covers yet no one has overcome Bobbys talented, heart and soul rendition. RIP Bobby Hatfield 1940-2003
Righteous
No cap
He has stage fright, plus his mother was there to see him sing for the first time live, and he was sick on top of that as well……

Episode #4.5
Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965:
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice ( in this performance his range is an incredible: D3 to G5 sharp) 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 each sang a song as a solo vocalist on their albums.
Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss. 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.
Sadly, on Nov. 5, 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack in a Michigan hotel room just prior to a Righteous Brothers performance, apparently in his sleep at age 63.
The Righteous Brothers version was , oddly enough a huge hit because it was recorded merely as a filler song for their fourth album, not for release as a single. Philles Records owner/producer 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 B-side to writers 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 (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “) as to which side of his Philles single was the A-side.

Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better.
’And I said, 'No, you can't!’ [Medley 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!

Kenny Roger's "Lady" is a must hear if you know.. you know. That song will melt you.
I will check it out
Love you reactions! Watch Joan Osborne and the Funk Brothers. What becomes of the Broken Hearted
As the story goes, they (under a different name) were playing in a dive bar of sorts in the south when a member of the audience stood up and shouted "That's Righteous Brother!" And they changed their name.
😊Not exactly, they were appearing at a club in Santa Ana, Orange county, CA, (southern California) Jon's Black Derby...not a dive bar. A great venue for music. Over the months the Paramours were there, black marines from the nearby El Toro base would come in on the weekends. One, in particular, would shout out that's righteous, brothers when he was moved by Bobby's and Bill's performance. He would also great them with how ya doing righteous brothers (righteous=cool) when encountering them off stage.
The name change happened when the guys recorded Little Latin Lupe Lu as duo. They didn't want to use the Paramours name since it wasn't the whole group. Bobby suggested they use the name the Marines had been calling them. According to Bill, he thought why not; it isn't going to be a hit, anyway. 😂
I love a good live performamce reaction. My mom was a teen when this hit the first time. I was a tern when it hit again.
I'd love to see you react to the 1981 Live from Central Park version of Bridge OverTroubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel
I do aswell
And I’ll put it on the list
Add to your list Bobby singing Semewhere. and Bring it on home to me, and My Prayer and He.and love and Inspiration, you'll never walk alone and you'll love them all❤
It is said that this singer did suffer from stage fright.
Lar Resort Reimagined by Falling In Reverse
House of the Rising Sun is another great song to react to.
Love that you are open to music from this era. This is a great one! Another suggestion: Elvis Presley singing "If I Can Dream" from his 1968 tv Comeback Special, which is the song he ended the show with. He wanted to sing about peace to a nation that had been suffering from the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr, which hit Elvis hard. Then the assassination of JFK a few yrs before, and his brother Bobby right after MLK, plus the Vietnam War and racial injustice. You will be moved beyond belief. ruclips.net/video/u-pP_dCenJA/видео.html
Definitely gonna throw it on the list
Check out Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain live at Monterey Pop". It will leave you with your jaw on the floor. GUARANTEED.
New subscriber here😁, you should check out Tom Jones - I who have nothing 😊
Going on the list
You love great voices? Hear The Scorpions or The Animals
Don't break it up so much. Let us hear the song!
Stop pausing so much
Gotta react
You interrupted way too many times. Ruined the flow of the song.
You pause the video way too much . Don’t get me wrong you do good reaction videos but you need to do less pausing
Love the Righteous Brothers but your annoying
