I love seeing the kids today react to this song. Pretty much everyone loves this song. Doesn't matter when they were born. This song was recorded in the mid 60s and yet it was the most played song on the radio of the entire century. Also, everyone thinks they were black until they saw them or were told. They were nicknamed "blue eyed soul".Glad you were exposed to them. And FYI
This is one of many songs me n my friends listened to while driving around ( crusin' ) with our girls sitting next to us. Looking back it was a magical time. Our Vietnam experience blotted out the magic and some of us. Seeing videos like yours and others brings back some of the magic. Thank you for that. Glad I am still on the right side of the dirt to enjoy yours and others videos.
Bill Medley - the taller one with the deep voice - is a baritone, whilst Bobby Hatfield - the one who sang Unchained Melody - was a tenor, he could hit high notes many singers normally don't or can't. Sadly, Bobby passed away in 2003, but Bill Medley still sometimes sings, despite now being 80. Bill Medley also sang Time Of My Life with Jennifer Warnes, the theme song to the movie Dirty Dancing.
There is two more songs that are really good by the Righteous Brothers one of them is soul and inspiration and the other one is Rock and Roll Heaven I would like to see your reaction to them
Bobby Hatfield (blonde) and Bill Medley were raised in SoCal and were greatly influenced by black artists of 50's and 60's. Their first hit was Little Latin Lupe Lu, written by Bill. The opened for Beatles and Stones on their first American tours. Try Soul and Inspiration or My Babe or I Just Wanna Make Love To You or Sit Down and Cry or Old Man River or Georgia On My Mind or Try To Find Another Man. .. Lots more. Inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003
They are the greatest. This was the most listened to song of the 20th Century. Try Rock And Roll Heaven. It’s a tribute song to stars who passed. You will love it. Thx
Their voices and harmony are righteous - thus their name. Not all of their songs were "slow". Check out Little Latin Lupe Lu by the Righteous Brothers. It was written by the tall one - Bill Medley.
Love it! Try Upchurch Rap back and Forth, me okay, so Brooklyn, beef remix Rock dirty south, pond creek rd Country Holla boys, miss my buddies, everlasting Country He has charted in all 3 genres and independent
It’s okay girl lol it’s called Blue Eyed Soul for a reason. I’ve gotten this a lot when I’ve sang at karaoke or parties…I’m like a mix of Bobby & Bill although of course not even close to their level haha but I’m pretty good
they adopted the name "The Righteous Brothers" for the duo because black Marines from the El Toro Marine base started calling them "righteous brothers".[10] At the end of a performance, a black U.S. Marine in the audience would shout, "That was righteous, brothers!", and would greet them with "Hey righteous brothers, how you doin'?" on meeting them.
I love that you love this stuff! Oh and I'm paler than you and I take no offence when people mistake these guys for "your" color, hey soul is soul, I guess in comes in varieties.
You should meet Stevie Ray Vaughan. He played the guitar and sang the blues. His Voodoo Child cover will leave you speechless. His Texas Flood will make you say Jesus.
The taller guy with the deep voice is Bill Medley, and Bobby Hatfield is the other singer, and yes, Bobby was the one who sung Unchained Melody. I am not sure if you have seen the movie Dirty Dancing, but the song from that movie, Time Of My Life, was sung by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are the first person that I've seen react to the music, not just the singers. Check out "Soul and Inspiration" by them. You won't be let down.
What's excites me is back in those days the like the Beatles The Rolling Stones back in those days they didn't have a big African-American following but I love to see that it's coming around and people actually can feel it
I love this song she is perfect and this TOP GUN movie I keep seeing the scene or when the F14 Tomcat pushes the afterburner on this song, at the end of the film it's just great
They got their name when they were playing at a military base and a group of black Marines said "you sound righteous, brothers!" The name stuck and they were known as blue-eyed soul back in the day. Sadly, some white radio stations initially didn't want to play this song when it came out because with the sound of the song and the name "righteous brothers", they assumed they were black so they refused to play the song. It did get some air time on some black radio stations until the DJ brought them in for an on-air interview; once he saw they were white, they stopped playing the song since he felt that his listeners wouldn't want to listen to "some white guys". Fortunately greatness and talent overcame and this song became the most played song on American radio and television in the 20th century. Also check out Soul and Inspiration, which spent 3 straight weeks at #1 in 1966. It has solo sections in the song for both "brothers".
@TheGsxstage1 That's not quite right. They sang on the Motown label, which was predominantly a black label. That said, I think there's too much made of this distinction. If you can sing, you can sing.
@@TKevinBlanc What? Never have they recorded with motown. They started out with Moonglow in 1964. Then Phil Spector signed them. All west Coast. Please post facts not your bullshit..
Now you will hear pure magic. They were terrific doing solosbut together unstoppable. Unfortunately your channel of the video doesn't do the song justice is just way to low. Like watching you but hope you change your volume. WANT TO HEAR JUST Bill Melody singing solo listen to BROWN EYED WOMAN THIS SONG JUST HAPPENED TO BE WRITTEN FOR HIM) Listen to You'll never walk alone by them too.just turn your volume up to get the whole experience.
When they were starting out, they played small clubs, and, bars around southern California. Their manager suggested they perform together, and, one night at a club near El Toro, they did. Bill Medley, the tall one, overheard a group of black Marines talking about them. One of the Marines said, "Damn, those brothers were righteous!" They decided to call themselves The Righteous Brothers from then on.
I think you too are finally ready now for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles doing the incredibly beautiful "Ooh Baby, Baby" here ruclips.net/video/nwwsT2Hh1AQ/видео.html and then we can really talk about great singers, great songwriters and heartthrobs. I had the great pleasure of seeing both the RB's and Smokey many time back in the 60's and trust me, there was nothing quite like Smokey. However, that's not to say these guys weren't a great act, great singers, and big fan favorites. Smokey though was next level.
lol! EVERYONE thinks this is black men singing! A lot of people thought the same thing about the Bee Gees and then they SEE these guys on a video and they are surprised! You need to remember with both groups there was no autotune or studio tricks. Music was played on REAL instruments and not a computer. You either had talent or you didn't. The lyrics really connected you to the singer. Particularly with the Bee Gees, they didn't use over-sexualized or disrespectful lyrics.
Now you know how they got their stage name. " righteous" brothers. Because their sound together their voices sounded so righteous. They are not blood relitives.
They were both raised in an african american club (why they're called blue eyed soul), both are brothers in the soul aspect but both had a voice that could rival EVEN ELVIS
Beautiful smile beautiful reaction
And THAT is how you make the most played song of the 20th century.
First look an love you 😍

Amazing how few listen to the lyrics. The word "Swoon" in not in kids vocabulary.
Soul is not a color, but a feeling! Both black and white!
Blue-eyed soul

I’d never seen this performance either but when the lights went up on the background singers DAYUM that was COLDDDD!!!!!
Cher was one of those background singers.
I don't think it can get any better than this!!!

They were such a great and unique duo. Its old but, timeless.

This girl in this video has a great radio voice.
Song was before I was born. But I have memories as a very young girl when my dad was in Vietnam & my mom would play this often.

RIP Bobby Hatfield
I saw them in mid 80's on Long Island. Absolutely fantastic!!
Called blue eyed soul

You should meet Stevie Ray Vaughan. He played the guitar and sang the blues.
His Voodoo Child cover will leave you speechless. His Texas Flood will make you say Jesus.
Wow a beautiful women ,a beautiful song and a beautiful reaction
The taller guy with the deep voice is Bill Medley, and Bobby Hatfield is the other singer, and yes, Bobby was the one who sung Unchained Melody.
I am not sure if you have seen the movie Dirty Dancing, but the song from that movie, Time Of My Life, was sung by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
Time of My Life is one of my favorite songs, and I did not make the connection! Thanks for the new knowledge for the day
The song way pre-dated the movie....lt was in GHOST.
@@Mftjan2000 yes I know, the song first

Good reaction you are lovely 😁🌹
Song and singers great, but video was too quiet.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are the first person that I've seen react to the music, not just the singers. Check out "Soul and Inspiration" by them. You won't be let down.
My soul and Inspiration next please
What's excites me is back in those days the like the Beatles The Rolling Stones back in those days they didn't have a big African-American following but I love to see that it's coming around and people actually can feel it
They were known as Blue Eyed Soul!
Pity we don't all look at each other in Our World with the lights off.
If you are looking for A-1 voices you have to listen to Dimash singing SOS. You will not regret it!!!
Me: Wait for it…
5:07 Oh Hell Yeah!!!
Your volume mix from the video feed needs adjustment. Still way too low.
The other guy is the one who did unchained melody
Plz turn volume of the music up for us
I’m sorry 😞❤️
Also raise the music volume a bit more
I love this song

and this TOP GUN movie
I keep seeing the scene or when the F14 Tomcat pushes the afterburner on this song, at the end of the film it's just great
Bobby song Unchained Melody bill is the one with the deep voice

If you want to hear the other solo check out “unchained Melody” live
The sound was subdued. However, the original video was amazing.

No the guy from unchained melody Bobbie Hatfield.

The deep voice is Bill Medley and the other is Bobby Hatfield. I don't know about Bill but Bobby died.
He also sang "Time of my life" used in the movie "dirty dancing", you should do a reaction to that
welcome to blue eye soul
Its not wrong to say they sound black.. in fact the only venue for them to sing in this style was to join black soul musical tours
@TheGsxstage1 That's not quite right. They sang on the Motown label, which was predominantly a black label.

@@TKevinBlanc What? Never have they recorded with motown. They started out with Moonglow in 1964. Then Phil Spector signed them. All west Coast. Please post facts not your bullshit..
You were right, the guy on the left is in the unchained video.
I love watching black people react to this duo.

RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS “I JUST WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU” no video but straight talking song
Love your reaction, but I can barely hear them singing.

Don't worry about their color, many Caucasians thought they were black too.

Try Joe Cocker
Raise the volume, don’t talk over them!
Sound is still too low
Get some good headphones. I can't stress this enough.
Now you know how they got their stage name. " righteous" brothers. Because their sound together their voices sounded so righteous. They are not blood relitives.
Next time crank the sound up
They were both raised in an african american club (why they're called blue eyed soul), both are brothers in the soul aspect but both had a voice that could rival EVEN ELVIS

You have a problem with your volume output on you phone, tablet, whatever. You are at least twice as loud if not more.
Turn it up girl not loud enough
The volume was too low.
The video volume could barely be heard!
Sound is still too low.

Your volume is set too low.
