Actually, in ear monitors were a godsend to all the musicians on the state. I'm not talking about auto tune here. When my bro and his bands were playing rock n roll in the 50s and 60s, they would crank up the volume in the amps so high in order for the musicians to hear each other. I remember standing next to the amplifier towers to be able to hear the bass well. The vocalists were actually forced to sing louder than they should have because they couldn't tell if they were loud enough. Some of us, musicians ad audience, ended up with permanent mid- range hearing damage. First came the floor monitors, and then the ear monitors. They weren't trying to correct pitch, they were just trying to hear each other.
As a kid growing up in the 60's, we took this kind of talent for granted. Why? Because everyone back then was ultra-talented. It was expected or you didn't make it. They had to be talented, because gimmicks were not allowed. Nowadays, it's all gimmick and no talent!
I was laughing at your reaction watching this.😊 I was a teenager when this came out!!! And yes, it was HUGE and we just couldn't get over them...particularly in our Black community. 😊
@@shaeholden1743 I'm going to see him perform in a couple of weeks! Very excited! You and Minnie might like my channel, which has lots of Bill Medley songs and videos - www.youtube.com/@LaurelT1948
I remember when this came out! I was in my car, just running to town, listening to my car radio and out of nowhere came this spectacular sound! I was in amazement! THAT SOUND! OH, my GOODNESS! I still love this song after all of these years! Just think, NO autotune, no inhancement of any kind! This is when people actually tried to hone their craft and perfect their GOD given talent! They were so perfect! Bobby Hatfield died in 2005 from lung cancer, however Bill continued to sing, and at one time did get a replacement! Bill Medley later in life, along with Jennifer Warren, sang that phenomenol song for the movie, "Dirty Dancing", "I've Had The Time of My Life" won many Grammies and is the most loved song and also the best dance scene ever! These guys were the BEST! Unless you were alive for their impact, you wouldn't believe it! Thank you so much for reacting to them and bringing some much needed happiness into my dreary day! Thank you!🎉
They were my first concert nearly 60 years ago. Loved them then, love them now. ❤ Bill Medley is on his last concert tour. Bobby passed at age 63. Thanks to both of them for the music legacy they gave us.💕
I love that you young folks are expanding your music tastes. I’m 68, I’ve never only liked any certain genre, I love variety, if it moves me, I love it. Doesn’t matter what era or what place it comes from . Great talent is great talent
I'm 89 years old and happy to say I lived through that time when they first sang that song and the other one I like summertime you'll have to play that also you'll like it. They weren't Brothers but very good friends. Bobby Hatfield in my estimation was the best singer ever. And left his way too soon only in his 60s in the year2007.🤩🤩 oh forgot that was a great reaction thank you.
Bobby Hatfield is the blond counter tenor, Bill Medley is the taller Baritone. So Soul & Inspiration, You'll Never Walk Alone (from the Ed Sullivan show) What I'd Say (with Andy Williams from same show as Unchained Melody. )Rock and Roll Heaven and Dream On for both "Brothers". Ebb Tide, My Prayer, Cryin in the Chapel, Stay with Me and the phenomenal Summertime by Bobby Hatfield. Georgia and the earlier suggestion for Bill. For Fun, their first "rockin" hits Little Latin Lupe Lu, My Babe, Koko Joe and I need Your Lovin Everyday all live performance on the show Shindig.(There are many more. ) oh and they are both 25 years old here.
Someone can ask me what my favorite music is, and before they can finish the sentence, I'll say "1960s Motown!" It is absolutely, without a doubt, the best music in the world to me. So much feeling, I can just close my eyes and get lost. That's why I love this, too, because it has that soul.
I was 16 -17 years old at this time and oh yes, they stole it away…captured our young hearts and the time in our lives of just beginning to learn about love and heart aches! A magical time to come of age!
I'm really starting to hate the "no auto tune" comments. It's usually whenever it's a white musician basically stating blacks (rappers) needing auto tune to be any good... We just really need to stop it already.
@@ericram76 What was meant no auto tuen in the 50s 60s & most of the 70s & that's ALL singers black, white, yellow & tangerine with purple polka dots. I'm almost 66 year young Aussie (white) and if I were to sign at a karieokie I would need auto tuen & I know it, & I wasn't putting shit on black rappers I was saying that most singers today need it to sound half decent... Wether they be black, white, yellow or tangerine with purple polka dots
@stanleywiggins5047 I’ve been Black for 65 years and 11.5 months. I have no idea how anyone can turn “No auto tune” into a Black or a rapper issue. It simply isn’t. Auto Tune has often been used in music today to enhance many mediocre singers’ voices. All races. Saying there was no auto tune means and ONLY means the sounds of their raw talent was just that, Raw Talent and Awesome. All of the groups we listened to several decades ago, Black, White and yes Purple with Yellow Polkadots sang without auto tune. People just hear it mentioned more often with the Righteous Brothers because their voices were so amazing and Bobby’s range was ridiculously unbelievable. It means it wasn’t enhanced. I laugh each time a reactor mentions how small the mics were back then. Why do they need such big mics now? When you can sing, all you need is a mic that doesn’t give you feedback.
This song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" made it to the Guinness Book of World Records as the most played and listen to song on the radio in the 20th Century. These are all facts. Bill Medley Baritone Voice and Bobby Hatfield Counter Tenor voice are the Dynamic Dou known as the 'Righteous Brothers.' Great reaction to a duo that were moderately famous back in their heyday of the 60's. They are more popular today than when they were performing these hits back in the 60's.
As others have stated, the most played/listened too song of the 20th century; radio, television, movies and records. When a Righteous Brothers song would be played at a dance the girls would melt. Vocal harmonies like no one else. A couple of the original panty droppers. Like I said they melted the women and still do.
I turned 12 at the end of 1964. This song was requested at our local Saturday night dance every week and played for me for as long as I went there until I turned 16. That is in Australia and I believe it is the most played song ever but Unchained Melody has to be up there. These two were magic together and alone, the music is timeless. Thank you.
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on a piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’ was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance. Their name came from doing a show near a marine base in So Calif and a black marine said to them…. You two guys are Righteous Brothers. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
Soooooooooo much SOUL back then. I loooooove the younger generation respecting great, classy music. Color didn't mean anything. Bill medley reminded me of David Ruffin of the temptations
The high(tenor) voice guy is Bobby Hatfield, the dark(baritone) voice is Bill Medley, Bill had a known vocal range of almost 3 octaves before he would go to falsetto,, quite a wide range, Bobby had a range of almost 5 octaves, known as a contra-tenor, before falsetto. That range is extremely rare.
You REALLY, REALLY need to watch the live version!!! It's IDENTICAL to the video. Absolutely NO remastering or auto tune...or any of the stuff they use today to alter voices! They are older in the live version and it's phenomenal!!!
There are two film clips of them performing this song; in this one they are lip synching, the other was filmed live with an off stage orchestra and a choir in the background. It's often been said that Cher was a member of that choir ... Phil Specter's "Wall Of Sound" added a special layer to it as well. But the rather significant historical backstory to the song, is that YLTLF had a great deal of air time on American radio. Between 1964 and 2001 You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling was played at least 8,000,000 times, blowing away every piece of music ever played since radio was born.
Me butting in again😉 They weren't lip syncing. Someone replaced the live audio with the studio recording in the video. Guess he didn't like the screaming girls. The real live performance is also available.
@@smg85051 Oops! Picture me shamefaced. Of course, this is lip synced. It's Bandstand. Everyone was lip syncing on that program. They didn't have a choice. Don't know where my head was. Could blame it on tiredness, or hunger, or momentary insanity, I guess. Take care
Yesterday was my 65th birthday. This makes me think back to the mid 1960s when everyday it seemed that magical music came from the television, radio and my parents record collection every day. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be, either that or today's music is a load of $&!t.
This music isn't a top 40 in today's society. I can understand why you never heard of it before. It warms my heart to see you educate yourself in older quality music.
Righteous Brothers .....elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 . In the original video with a backup group shown toward the end of the video .......a very young Cher was part of that group
I can't think of another duo that could possibly be as good as the Righteous Brothers. Both singers are extremely talented on their own, but together? Holy Cow!
This was played on radio stations 24/7. You heard it everywhere. They were a great duo and everything they did was perfect. Thanks so much for the great reaction to the Righteous Brothers ( by the way, they were not actual brothers, and not even related). 👏👏👏👩👧🥰
Someone else may habe already said this but they were not brothers. They had performed a song abdd someone shouted 'That's Righteous Brotherr!' At the end in appreciation. They liked it so much they adopted it as a name Fun fact : Bill Medley (deep voice) later went in to record theme tune to hit film 'Dirty Dancing' with Jennifer Warnes
I wasn't a teenager when the song came out but my father absolutely loved the Righteous Brothers!! He would play You've Lost that Loving feeling cranked as high as he could get that radio to go and he and I was just enjoy a truly fabulous song!!!!!!
And this was live and long, long before anyone ever heard of autotune! Bill Medley (bass-baritone) and Bobby Hatfield (tenor) had a number of top songs during their partnership e.g. Ebbtide, For Sentimental Reasons, White Cliffs of Dover, Soul and Inspiration and Little Latin Lupe Lu just to name a few. They were every girls dream duo 💖
Happy to say I lived through this fantastic music era . Now I am 77 and my dance instructor grandson reaches back teaches dance to this fantastic music
Absolutely. That was my favorite of theirs. When I was in high school they sang outdoors on the track near the stands. I don't know how someone got them booked for that, but they did. They also opened for The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl in '64. While they were singing "Little Latin Lupe Lu" it became obvious that Bobby's zipper was down and the audience (mostly young teen girls) were screaming, "Your fly is open!" He did a turnaround to the beat of the music and when he face forward again, he was zipped up. We all cheered his smooth move.
I watched an opera singer try to figure out how the heck Bobby did vocal fry in that high upper register. She was still flabbergasted at the end of her video. 😂 Listen to Bobby Hatfield sing Summertime from Porgy and Bess. It'll blow your mind. For both? Soul Inspiration and You'll Never Walk Alone.
Here's something you probably didn't know. These brothers opened for the Beatles on their first American tour, but after a short time because of the crazy girls going nuts, they stopped. Then for another kicker, they were the opening band for the "Rolling Stones" on their first American tour. Yes they were terrific back in those days, and You Lost that Loving feeling is the most played song in the history of music.
This song received the most radio play of any song in the 20th century. And it made women melt! If you were out with your girl and this song came on the radio, at the very least, you were going to get 4 1/2 minutes of quiet.😉 If you were really lucky, well....
You know there are sooo many assume music back in the early 60s with Elvis, the rightous brothers some.many incredible artists back then ,nothing luke today, these guys back then had True Talent, back they didn't have the equipment like today, that makes artist sound good. This is just incredible Talent on the artists back then. tell that not true.
Thank you. I am the last of the Boomers(did not know that until somebody told me I was to old to be gen X.) This is the music that carried on AM Radio. FM was not in every car when I was young.
There's no music today that can compete with the talent of the 60's and 70's. So many riches.
And to think that they were just 24 years old!!!
Amen
Countless Talents. The artists, the songs. Anyone that still has .45's, please keep and cherish them!
NO COMPUTERS... NO SYNTHESIZERS...NO LIP-SYNCING... PURE TALENT AND PURE LIVE VOICE!!!!
The term blue-eyed soul started with the Righteous Brothers 🌻💜👵🏼✌🏼
One black DJ would say," Here are my blue eyed soul brothers..."
Sung live without ear plugs, no auto tune. Just pure talent
Actually, in ear monitors were a godsend to all the musicians on the state. I'm not talking about auto tune here.

I love that a young person today can appreciate the incredible talent of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. It’s Righteous Baby!!
This song is 60 years old, pretty amazing how it's held up over time. True classic.
This WAS THE MOST PLAYED SONG OF THE 20th century!
We may be old now but we sure had the best music of all time!
I’m 74 years old. Yeah. Toward the end you had me laughing so hard at your reaction to Bobby’s high notes. Well done sir. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it sir!! ❤️🔥
My momma, who is almost 80 years old, said that these two boys were the absolute dynamic duo of sexy song singing.
Wise mom ❤️🔥
I'm 76 and your momma is right.
Bobby's range is phenomenal..
No auto tune just pure raw beautiful vocals.
Bobby Hatfield had a phenomenal vocal range and also amazing vocal control and the two of them complement each other so well
You're right! Bobby did have a great range, but so does Bill Medley. Their tonal quality was superb.
As a kid growing up in the 60's, we took this kind of talent for granted. Why? Because everyone back then was ultra-talented. It was expected or you didn't make it. They had to be talented, because gimmicks were not allowed. Nowadays, it's all gimmick and no talent!
I never realized just how much vocal talent there was then. Today's music just does not compare to that generations music!
Yes, it sucks to be talented and watch gimmicky stuff win over talent.
Hey you need to listen to Smokey Robinson on Saturday night!
@@donaldforest1942 Great artist

The duet takes both ends of a 88 key piano. No duet ever or since has equaled these two.

Absolute must you say well I put it on my reaction list!!

This is why our generation still think this is the best pop music - ever
The 60s was the best time for music. All kinds. Rock, folk, Motown, all music!😊

YES!!!
Second that.
Back then we had the best music, clothes style, hair and cars.
"'64, that was way back." Easy there. We're still here. I first heard this song when I was 13.
No Auto tune in the 60s just pure raw talent. I was 6 in 1964 & know & sing along with the songs of my youth 😊

I was in the 9th grade in 1964 and we were listening on our transistor radios! Coming out of Motown and waiting for the British invasion!
The harmony between them is second to none before or after.
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on a piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary.
“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’ was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century
"Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance.

Yes they do!!!
I was in high school in 1964, and they were at the top of the charts for weeks.

There are two things that transcend "boundaries", music and food.
Bobby Hatfield was an amazing singer that could sing from range to range effortlessly
Bill Medley's bass/baritone & Bobby Hatfield's tenor complimented the other's voice SO well.

Can you imagine how we felt in England when we heard this America here we come
Yep, I laughed so hard watching you. High School thru college this guys, we heard them a lot on the radio. They were the “ IT”guys back in my day.
You need to watch their other videos. I was in high school when they came out in 1964. They never disappoint you! ! !
Great reaction! Bill Medley still does shows. I'd love to see him before he retires.
Zero pitch correction. These boys had SOUL!!!! New sub- you’re doing great! 😊
Warm welcomes 🤗❤️🌹
And this was live and long, long before anyone ever heard of autotune! Bill Medley (bass-baritone) and Bobby Hatfield (tenor) had a number of top songs during their partnership e.g. Ebbtide, For Sentimental Reasons, White Cliffs of Dover, Soul and Inspiration and Little Latin Lupe Lu just to name a few. They were every girls dream duo 💖
Soul and Inspiration.
Happy to say I lived through this fantastic music era . Now I am 77 and my dance instructor grandson reaches back teaches dance to this fantastic music
"Soul and Inspiration" is their obvious next go to song.
Absolutely. That was my favorite of theirs. When I was in high school they sang outdoors on the track near the stands. I don't know how someone got them booked for that, but they did. They also opened for The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl in '64. While they were singing "Little Latin Lupe Lu" it became obvious that Bobby's zipper was down and the audience (mostly young teen girls) were screaming, "Your fly is open!" He did a turnaround to the beat of the music and when he face forward again, he was zipped up. We all cheered his smooth move.
Lovin' Feeling ranked by BMI ae radio's most requested and played song of the 20th century.
I watched an opera singer try to figure out how the heck Bobby did vocal fry in that high upper register. She was still flabbergasted at the end of her video. 😂
Listen to Bobby Hatfield sing Summertime from Porgy and Bess. It'll blow your mind. For both? Soul Inspiration and You'll Never Walk Alone.
Bobby is out of this planet 🤩😭❤️🔥
Maggie Renee? She probably still trying to figure out how to do that.
@@Aurora-tp3dy yup. 🤣🤣
@Aurora-tp3dy How he did it I yelled at the tv...He is Bobby Hatfield that's how.😜😄
I can only think, just purely gifted.
Here's something you probably didn't know. These brothers opened for the Beatles on their first American tour, but after a short time because of the crazy girls going nuts, they stopped. Then for another kicker, they were the opening band for the "Rolling Stones" on their first American tour. Yes they were terrific back in those days, and You Lost that Loving feeling is the most played song in the history of music.
This song received the most radio play of any song in the 20th century. And it made women melt! If you were out with your girl and this song came on the radio, at the very least, you were going to get 4 1/2 minutes of quiet.😉 If you were really lucky, well....
You know there are sooo many assume music back in the early 60s with Elvis, the rightous brothers some.many incredible artists back then ,nothing luke today, these guys back then had True Talent, back they didn't have the equipment like today, that makes artist sound good. This is just incredible Talent on the artists
back then. tell that not true.
Very different voices...both...perfection.
edit: Also... I can't help but sing the "burum...burum..." XD haha
❤❤❤❤grew up listening to thr great Righteous Brothers!!How I miss this music!!
I was just thinking that this crowd was pretty sad looking. Lol. This was a very well done and extremely popular. Thanks for the review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
my boyfriend from long ago used to sing this song to me, as it was his favorite song.
60’s and 70’s music will always be the best, hank god i was there to enjoy it
And remember this is live!
Thank you. I am the last of the Boomers(did not know that until somebody told me I was to old to be gen X.) This is the music that carried on AM Radio. FM was not in every car when I was young.
When I was 9 or 10 years old/ my older sister had this album & played it all the time!
