Just read your comment of two months ago , on Bobby Hatfield performing live on the Andy Williams show singing Unchained Melody , I agree with you , that live performance was spectacular , his voice INCREDIBLE , those high notes which he sang so easy . I have been listening to a lot of The Righteous Brothers music on You Tube recently , as I love Bobby Hatfield . I often wonder why such talented artists with voices so profound and beautiful , turn to cocaine , I’ve seen performances of him singing in later life and watched his body language , I also caught a video of them both being interviewed they were 63 yrs old , I noticed that Bobby’s mouth was pulled to the left ( as though he had suffered a stroke ) as he was talking and his voice sounded high pitched , not at all like his previous interviews, sad very sad , I know the circumstances of his death , but you can’t help compare his voice from his early years and how it declined, wonder if it was the cocaine . Really upset me to see such a wonderful singer end up like this .. Best Wishes 🇬🇧
@@janebruce6625 Most of us prefer to think about the wonderful music and memories that Bobby left us. But there are others like you that prefer to think about the negatives of his life. There has never been a book about him that I know of that detail his cocaine use, and to be honest, who gives a fuck. Not everyone that used cocaine in the 80’s is an addict. Peoples voices change over the decades. Did you expect him to sound the same at 63 as he did when he was 23?
I’m just hearing Bobby sing this for the first time but as usual he has his heart his soul everything in this song. He’s got such a beautiful tenor, every time I hear him I think of all the beauty in the world
In spite of all the nay-sayers and critics on here, I still enjoyed listening to the incomparable Bobby Hatfield singing far better in his age and ill-health than most people could ever manage even in their heyday.
Bobby Hatfield was an incredible singer his vocals are unmatched especially Unchained Melody its his eternal signature song .I did not know he had his own record out without Bill .
❤ wonderfull to finaly see them. Only heard on radio when young. And realizing they are now so apreciated by the young generations Timeless. Revisiting my youth ❤
My Father Grew up with Bobby! As kids they Played together cause they lived on the same Street in Anaheim. They Remained friends through High School. Bobby often would Sing the National Anthem at home Games. They knew then he would be Famous some Day!
I am supriset that i never hear this song from Bobby. Its as always so beautyful, hy sings it right from his heart. I am so sad that hy past away. I love his songs so much. REST IN PEACE BOBBY .
I love his songs so much too. You can hear his heart and soul in everything he sings...and amazing vocals. Incomparable...Rest In Peace and thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you for posting this! First time I have heard Bobby Hatfield sing Listen to the Rythm of The Falling Rain. No surprise that it instantly became my favourite version of the song. I wish there were more of his songs available ...especially the live performances..He sings like an angel. No one like him.
@@janetgallo5720 here is guess who - bobby enjoying himself thoroughly youtube ruclips.net/video/bLW77fVAekY/видео.html can't find live clip for I need a girl - its a great one - audio ruclips.net/video/-hGwhe1FncM/видео.html
Unfortunately, time and an unhealthy lifestyle had taken a toll on his vocal cords by the time this song was recorded. The high notes were unreachable, could not hit them like when he was younger.
@@stwads I am glad to hear that someone else believes the truth. Bobby was a heavy smoker an a big eater, junk food on the tours. Arteries 95pct. blockage to his heart. Bill knew him for more than 40 years, and he said that if he thought Bobby was on drugs, he would have done something. How do you work for someone for 40 years and not know? Bobby looked good those last years. His voice did suffer from smoking, but he could still sing. One picture I saw of him after the rr hall of fame, he looked tired. On the night of his death, he called Bill "Beany," He just wanted to rest before the show. I'm sorry to be so long winded, but I am just tired of people automatically assuming Bobby was this big drug addict. I believe he was tired. He called Bill "Beany" the very last time he talked to him. He had called him Bean but never Beany. So he's gone, but his, and Bills, great music will live on.
@@marilyndurham738 - Okay, you say he was not an addict, BUT that he took a hit of coke. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck! It is not an eagle. With his heart in the shape that it was, that "hit of coke" is what did him in. He obviously knew what the desired effect the coke could have - unfortunately it was not the one he was looking for. Every addict, and those who enable them, deny that the person is an addict, just a user. That is like being just a little bit pregnant! Believe what you want - it is no skin off my teeth!
Another thing. Bobby spent the evening with the group before going to bed at 9, very early for him. When he was found, he was in his bed with the tv remote in his hand. If there had been drugs in the room someone would have told the press. Bobby pushed through those final years with sheer strength and willpower. He was so exhausted after a show that they kept a chair for him right off stage. High on coke, eh? No Bobby was tired and ready to go. It was time to rest that beautiful voice.
@@LB-mj7ph do you know when this song came out? In November 1988, he fell on slick pavement when pushed by another man outside his and Bill’s nightclub. He suffered facial fractures, broken teeth, and broken palate. I guess this incident could also play a part of the change in his voice.
He is not too bad. I like to listen to different versions of songs to hear how different artists interpret them. Bobby has a nice voice, but I think this song is kind of out of his league.
I don't think this song was out of his league. I think this must be when Bobby was older and not in the best of health due to his addiction. I think he was only 62 when he died, but he didn't look well in some of the later photos.
@@watchman1178 He was NOT an addict. Someone with a vivid imagination says something. It gets repeated and then the internet does its thing, and it has a life of its own. People can have health issues without being an addict. Oh, and, he was 63 when he died.
@@Aurora-tp3dy I was a Bobby Hatfield fan, but he DID have a problem with cocaine. Hell, it was an accidental overdose that killed him. Sorry if you can't handle the truth.
@@watchman1178 No, that so called trace amount of cocaine, even if actually there, would not cause an overdose. The medical examiner never used the term overdose. He was on meds for his cardiac issues and needed by-pass surgery. According to Bill Medley, the medical examiner couldn't understand how he could walk across the stage let alone perform, and, that he couldn't imagine Bobby living through that November. Glad you're a fan, but he didn't OD and he wasn't an addict. This recording was made after he was shoved and fell. Don't know if he completely recovered at that time. Anyway, every bone in his face was broken; his teeth were knocked out; and, his palate split open. He was in the hospital for quite a while and had several surgeries. Anyway, all that definitely can effect how you sound. P.S. I can handle truth; it's nonsense I have a problem with. So goodbye.

Spectacular; Bobby knew how to deliver a love song. So happy he did so often. RIP Bobby Hatfield you are missed.
Bobby was absolutely amazing! Unchained melody sung live in 1965 was the performance of a lifetime!

Bobby Hatfield was an incredible singer his vocals are unmatched especially Unchained Melody its his eternal signature song .I did not know he had his own record out without Bill .
There are a bunch of them.
This is a new one for me. Was there anything this man could not sing? Ah, such a loss....
Have you heard "Dream on"? He could make an atheist believe.
Dream On is one of my favorites! It should have been a number one song!!
Bobby Hatfield, is one out of two of worlds best singers and he's gorgeous
And he's a sweetheart, my hub and i had drinks with him after a local show. He was very regular, no airs about him. At all
❤ wonderfull to finaly see them. Only heard on radio when young. And realizing they are now so apreciated by the young generations Timeless. Revisiting my youth ❤
This sounds like when he was older. Always loved his voice.
This is so Bobby Hatfield...just love it by him. Thank you so much. RIP
This was one of my favorites 50 years ago. A great song by the Cascades.
Just found this - just beautiful. Thank you so much. 😊
My Father Grew up with Bobby! As kids they Played together cause they lived on the same Street in Anaheim. They Remained friends through High School. Bobby often would Sing the National Anthem at home Games. They knew then he would be Famous some Day!
I would love to have heard our anthem sung by Bobby Hatfield......what a treat.
Thank You for sharing this.

Thanks Bill. I haven't heard Bobby sing this before. You are always making my day! XO
One of my favorites, alone and mellow of Bobby’s.
Bobby's voice has gotten deeper. But I still love his voice.
Love this song. Love Bobby Hatfield!
Such an amazing voice,,, R.I.P. BOBBY

My favorite is soul and inspiration
I love “I need a girl” and “guess
who”. And I can’t get either one.

Bobby was so good. I'm not in his league. He was divine.
None of us are. His voice was phenomenal.
I really love this song. It's so amazing
Oh my god that's heaven right there
The only singer that i have ever loved.
His voice was second to none. towards what I wanted with her. Big in the sky
Nice version sweet song
I Need a Girl is a favorite.
Love it

Life is hard enough. To mix in drugs, alcohol and smoking for anyone just compounded difficulty a thousand times.
Thank. You
Did Bill put this up , ..? Thanks bill , I’m so in love with him , even now 😭😭😭😭
There the best
2019 rồi còn ai còn nghe ko
2024 still listening. love Bobby’singing even with Bill
Célia bobby maravilha.
I love Bobby Hatfield's sound. But this song belongs to the kids from San Diego (The Cascades)!
Better than the Cascades
Bobny hätte viel mehr solo machen sollen,er wäre damit noch mehr erfolgreich gewurden.
Bill hat danals gesagt, dass sie wieder zusammen kommen sollten
I would love to hear Bobby sing Shout, also on this soundtrack. Do you have it?
Hier wird das Foto gezeigt, weiches auf seinem Grabstein ist.😢😢😢
What year did Bobby Hatfield sing " Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain?
I think it was around 97

I ment listening

Bobby hätte Bill gar nicht gebraucht.
When Bobby was alive was this one of his most recent recordings?
naysayers must be tone deaf or simply don’t know a beautiful song and singer when the y “hear” one. Sad, really. They miss. so much!

Not drugs but years of heavy smoking & social drinking. Bobby was not a drug addict.

@@dawnaberry8452 - you need to read the coroners report. I stand by my statement.
He is off on almost every single note. It is not the same Bobby. :-(
You are tone deaf.
It’s true. His voice is not the same. Sad, but true. 🙁
