Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest singers ever. When he teams up with Bill Medley they belt out such great songs as You Lost that Loving Feeling Soul and Inspiration Just once in my life. They were both on 🔥🔥🔥🔥 doing The Night time is the Right Time and Little Latin Lupe Lu. Best of success with yr channel
Through the internet, watching people discover this masterpiece for the first time, it has been watched countless times. So many have listened to Bobby Hatfield's performance form that night, hundreds of times each. It has never been equaled.
The way he (we) vantrickulated every fiber of his being through his voice indelling sound waves the very essence of his true feelings of emotion capitalizing on his unfading love with tenderness gives effortless power of electricity which energizes a person to want more and to share in giving the whole world the same endless journey everyone needs to endure Love in TIME,,,, Forever,,,,,,
It was my favorite song in high school. The righteous brothers were very popular for years. School dances always played this song. I am glad you have brought this song to your channel. Am your new subscriber ❤. Aloha from Hawaii 😊🎉
The Righteous Brothers magic had never been quite equaled before or after their music when we first heard them. I am no 77 years old, so I was a young girl when they were first being played on radio. Since most of us had never seen them, we all assumed from their distinctive sound, that they were black gentlemen. When their popularity grew and they started being seen on television and larger concert venues, we were all, no matter what our racial or cultural origins, were stunned to see that they were white gentlemen. Thank you for your excellent reaction to Bobby Harfield beautiful rendition of this beautiful song. He and Bill Medley were a wonderful pairing of tenor and baritone. Their music style became known as Blue Eyed Soul. Bill Medley is still alive, not sure if he still performs. Bobby Harfield died way too young and so sadly at age 52, I believe around 2003. He was resting in a hotel room before going to a large venue to perform, when he never showed up at the venue for the concert. Phone calls went unanswered and Bill Medley and maybe others, found him in the hotel room, passed away from heart failure brought on by Cocaine. So sad. I just found your channel and am proud to be a new subscriber. You react so well with obvious love of many genres of music. So well done. Best wishes from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York State. I wish you great success in the building of your channel.
The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Bobby Hatfield left his life later that year at 63, after a career of 41 years. He did what he came here to do, and has left us with much wonderful music and video performances. 🎶✨
Unchained Melody: Bobby Hatfield live performance. {The Andy Williams Show}- 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. 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. 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 to 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!’ [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! 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' but 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’.
