I love this one because of Bobby's joy of singing and dancing. He is definitely doing what God had for him (to bring joy to people). If I'm having a tough day all i gotta do is watch this and I'm laughing with joy. Thank you Bobby.
I also have been on a Bobby Hatfield check lately. Years ago I was when he was in his 20s and then I started raising my family and things got away from me and now I hear him all over again and appreciate how magnificent his voice has always been. And his humor back then kept the audience laughing
I smile at every song Bobby sings, but this one makes me flat laugh out loud, his personality and talent is so infectious! The most wonderful, talented singer in the world!
Dawn, this is one of my favourites and makes me laugh too. Such an incredible performance from both, but Bobby was on fire! I'm in Italy now and sad they're hardly known at all. I wonder if they ever toured anywhere other than the UK? I suspect not and wish they'd been better promoted. Talent like theirs deserved so much more recognition in Europe.
Perfect performers,harmony and class. Bobby excels in every direction each time and adds that extra ounce of soul. RIP Bobby Hatfield I (we) miss you so.
I have been on SUCH a Righteous Brothers kick lately. I seriously CANNOT get enough of these guys together or their solo stuff. They do ballads, pure soul, romantic songs including the MOST PLAYED song of the century "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." Separately they each had amazing range and sound. But together, they were pure EARCANDY! To their families, I would like to send a huge "thank you" for sharing your family member with us fans for their whole lives. I realize the lifestyle is very rough on the performer AND their family. I appreciate you all for sharing these wonderfully talented people with the public. After going Deaf as an adult I literally lost music. After getting Cochlear Implants and living for over a year with them activated, I am re-discovering music. Each video I find of them leads to more wonderful songs. They got me through more times before I lost hearing with just knowing a few of the songs (generation X, so too young to see when happened.) Finding these new to me songs with all those notes and tones are helping my hearing with "bionic ears" training SO VERY ENJOYABLE. I am basically listening to the newly discovered songs every chance possible.
I've been rediscovering it recently, too. They had incredible range of genres they could do with ease, but they seemed to enjoy this the most. I really enjoy Bill's jazzy/blues stuff, especial in more recent years.
@@starshinedragonsong3045 The first time I saw them was on the Andy Williams Show. Of course I was a fan already, but this was incredible and I never forgot it, Flash forward to September 2000, and I was delighted to find them on You Tube, and it's been great getting re- acquainted with their incredible music, but I was almost grief-stricken to see that Bobby died in 2003. Then I saw their induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. They were incredible. Bobby never missed s note, or a beat. And I remember that in the late 70's, their music was a comfort in a time of trial. After that, I lost track of them. Bill will be here in Arizona in November, I will go. But without Bobby, there is no Righteous Brothers. Only Bill and Bucky.
So wonderful to know you not only got your hearing back, but being able to enjoy listening to the RB''s must make it even sweeter. I recently rediscovered them from a link to Bobby singing Unchained Melody and it literally blew me away. I grew up in the UK in the 60s so knew their hits, but there's so much more to discover it's a constant pleasure in my later years. Hope you keep their memory alive for many more years to come and continue to enjoy their magic. Happy listening!
This is definitely one of my favourite early performances, which really highlights how absolutely brilliant they were together and how they complemented each other to perfection. Bobby is on fire and Bill does his thing to create a magical performance by these incredible entertainers.
Bobby could break out into soul any minute of the day. Bill was a little more tame but he felt every bit . Bobby was able to cut loose a little more on this one. They were perfect together.
WOW~ Dynamite! Bobby just can't keep still, never seen anyone like him in all my years. Jumpin' beans in his jeans. I'm not ignoring Bill, he's just as talented in his own right. He said once that Bobby kicked his a-- on stage. In this case he was right. He also said that Bobby was the greatest singer in the world. Right again. But Bill is a great Bass Baritone. And together or solo they are the greatest!
This is Magnificent! Every time I listen and watch this I love it more and more! Unleashed is the perfect word to describe Bobby Hatfield during this! The ultimate in entertainment! 💛 🔥🔥🔥
Oh my.... Bobby. How did he not faint keeping those high notes through the entire song? He was amazing, fun and very handsome. Bill definitely was too!
@@dawnaberry8452 It’s pretty obvious he loved to sing - and to play around with what his voice could do. I think his stage fright was related to the size of the venue and as someone with a similar phobia, I can say it can be present even if you are doing what you love to do… and it can be quietly devastating. I truly admire his courage.
Maybe the use of coke began to fight his fright. Who knows 😢. I have a son that began using it to face talking in public and used it for near 15 years. Thank’s God he’s well now 🙌
All their recordings are Several steps above great; however it's wonderful to see them having fun with each other; jystine; Bring g it on home to me; Babe etc. check Bobby's smile!
When you watch a lot of these vids, you notice Bill is quite restrained and seems to be always trying to keep a lid on things . And seems to try and drown Bobby out with his more powerful vocals. Can you imagine where Bobby could have gone vocally with a more encouraging partner!
@@rubydazhla511 Read Bill's book. In it, he said some unkind things, like Bobby didn't like tp perform! In all his performances, does he look like someone who hates performing? Boloney!! I think there was a bit of professional jealousy going on. But he was certainly someone that Bobby looked up to. He said that he always considered Bill a legend.
I love Bill and Bobby together and love them separately. They make magic either way. Bobby can rip your heart out a ballad or lift your spirits with his amazing voice. The Brothers are my favorite. RIP bobby and wishing Bill continued success.
I have been binging on Righteous Brothers for a few months. I’m truly enjoying these gems that I’ve never heard them sing before! Love their antics as well.
I found this comment about Bobby in one reaction video and suddenly I understood him 😅. “ deedlerock • 6 months. Bobby, the blonde guy, grew up in my town of Anaheim. He was a couple of years older than my oldest sister and they were acquaintances...I think he was class of 59 and she was 61. He did it all, football captain, basketball captain, student body president, varsity baseball, talent shows, etc. He was known to be a very nice, funny and charismatic. Bill, the dark haired guy, also lived in the area but went to a different school. 'They say' they got their start at the Bean Hut in Anaheim singing Hot Tamale. :) So I believe Bobby was hyperactive and that explains everything when he perform here 😊.
If there was any question on how/why they earned the term 'blue eyed soul' or Righteous Brothers this song will answer that. I love to watch Bobby dance (and smile) when he sings. Awesome duo and they graced us with their talent as we boomers (I was 17 at the time) grew up.
Bobby should of been allowed to let rip more with his voice and dancing. He nearly lost the jacket off the one shoulder after than hand wave thing he did.
Oh well! Bobby can make all the mistakes he wants. Can you do what he did? that performance was so great that one tiny little flub made no difference. This was a live performance, for Heavens sake! All I heard was perfection, and I come from a musical background.
@@dawnaberry8452 Yes, I can do it better!! I was musical director for Marvin Gaye, and played with Stevie Wonder, Dianna Ross, Phil Collins and more. It wasn't a tiny flub, it is a musical tragedy for a lead singer to sing in the key of C when the band is in F, and go to the B section two bars early. With that said. I've enjoyed the Righteous Brothers since the mid 60's, but when you do Soul Music, you must respect it enough to sing or play the correct phrasing and notes, the same way a european classical musician is expected to sing or play the right notes.
@@dawnaberry8452 I've done much better and have long credentials to prove it.What is your musical background that makes you qualified to argue a mediocre performance? If you appreciate the Righteous Brothers as much as most of us do, there are many, many other video's of them singing great performances without lame mistakes.
What nonsense is this? Please. Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford's original is a thousand times better. Simply because they are authentic. Not pretending to be something they are not. The blond isn't bad, for a white fella. But still palpably not on the money. The brunet sucks. Off beat and utterly soulless.
I know this was far from their best. But listen and watch the b/w video of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," and Bobby's live performance of "Unchained Melody." I know you would love it. Unless you're determined not to. And what do you mean, "pretending to be something they're Not?? They are exactly what they seem to be. Care to explain what you mean?
@@dawnaberry8452 - Yes, I was aware of their talent already - especially Unchained Melody, where Blondie (Hatfield?) is unmatched in its performance, so far as I'm concerned. But what they did here was just bloody awful. No excuses.
@@sikequan4542 I must agree. Bill was So off-key. couldn't get the rhythm. Watching him in other performances, he seemed to have that problem a lot. But Bill is still touring, at the age of almost 82. By the way.... "Blondie's" name is Bobby Hatfield. Passed away in 2003, age 63, 8 mont6hs after they were inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame. Don"t be so snarky! The 'brunette's" name is Bill Medley.
😂 Enjoy Sike Quan ..! The most funny and happy performances of my youth are from those blue eyed souls Brothers. And you know… who thought they were blck and soulfull… were blacks from that time, we listen in the radio, not a clue of their collour ! That’s righteous, brothers! Shout some black marine when seeing them performing… and the name sticks right ❤

Bobby could take his voice anywhere he wanted to go and amazing breath control. He’s awesome

This is the way I want to remember Bobby.
YES, YES katheen! Gee...what Joy and Love comes through him...to us. Oh My...Bobby was so Special.
Good grief! I thought he was gonna go through the roof at one point!! Bobby almost lost his jacket. They're both great, but Bobby is also phenomenal!
Wow…Bobby Hatfield just gave a masterclass on how to sing…AMAZING! First time seeing and hearing this! Love love love him❤️
Oh that Bobby "woah-woah-woah-woah-woah!" ❤
I smile at every song Bobby sings, but this one makes me flat laugh out loud, his personality and talent is so infectious! The most wonderful, talented singer in the world!
Me too! Charisma flying out at us and combined with breathtaking talent- impossible not to respond! 💖
The most unique and terrific harmony ever. Who could not love Bobby?
This is a pure joy to watch!

Only those that are jealous.@@doloresschultz8393
Bobby..... I miss that smile.. your movies.. your voice...it is the reason why i always come back to your videos....
Bobby Hatfield makes me happy. What more can you ask for in an entertainer?
So extraordinary, what Bobby could do with his voice! Such a joy to listen to! So glad to have these videos, thank-you!

Bill and Bobby were both incredible singers.
You are the best of the best

ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF !!!

Bobby loves it when he his left to sing and dance, he puts his heart and soul into it when allowed to let rip
Bobby at his best!
I with Angela HALL I've been on such a kick listening to them again.Glad to see the younger generation appreciate our music.
The other lady said it. Bobby has so much fun while he does it. He gives us enjoyment and he enjoys
Wow love them
THESE 2 ARE JUST LIKE PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY.........MEANT TO BE TOGETHER AS PARTNERS......LOVE, BOB S. FOX, CA.

You rock Bobby Hatfield. You have so much soul as well as A phenomenal voice
Shindig performances were their best performances!! So much energy and fun 😄
I agree. With not just the ballads, as they did so much of later, but the great rock and roll and soul that they began with.
A big wow!
Just love these videos of the Righteous Bros I could listen to them for hours. KEEP THEM COMING.
An incredible performance. Fantastic!! Love the Righteous Brothers.
I have been binging on Righteous Brothers for a few months. I’m truly enjoying these gems that I’ve never heard them sing before! Love their antics as well.
Sound not to good but understand _____ Hatfield remains one of the great soul singers ever. AND THATS A FACT
Boy! Bobby sang the heck out of that! Bill did pretty well keeping up with Bobby!
Bobby bewegt sich am besten.😅
Er hat Musik im Blut u. in jeder Faser.
Thanks to whomever posted this!
Bobby Hatfield was awesome and he really loved to perform his craft, brilliant.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Put three more Whoa's on that!
Not long on lyrics but righteous anyway
can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy in bobby's case

Originally by Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford. After this, Jackie Wilson did a version.
And this is the fine example why they're called the righteous brothers ladies and gentlemen
...
Bobby reminds me of those bendy toys we had back in the 70,s
Bobby should of been allowed to let rip more with his voice and dancing. He nearly lost the jacket off the one shoulder after than hand wave thing he did.
I wonder if Bobby ever stamped on or head butted the dancers with his movements?😀
BOBBY STEALS THE SHOW!
White Soul
There's a lot of Sam Cooke in Bobby's voice, with his own spin of course. and I like the dancing girls a lot HAHAHAHA
👏👏🇬🇧👏👏
If Bobby had a partner as dynamic as him they would certainly gone further. That’s why the Beatles kicked them out of stage on their tour
Bobby misses his queue at the end and finishes two bars too soon.
